If you find yourself needing to transport freight in Christchurch, you’re probably doing the juggling act right now. Whether you’re moving tools to a job site or stock to your business, you just want it done right the first time.

That’s where we come in. At Alpine Carriers, we know that here in New Zealand, people and businesses need their freight sorted quickly and properly. We’re local — right here in Christchurch — and we love helping people get their gear across town (and the country) with ease.

‍

What Does It Mean to Move Freight?

Put simply, moving freight is moving cargo — anything from a single box to a full container. It might be tools, retail stock, construction materials, or even the contents of your home. The goal is always the same: relocate it safely, efficiently, and without the headaches.

We’ve helped tradies shift their tools, families move houses, and businesses move everything bar the kitchen sink. In every case, we customize the job to suit you — not some off-the-rack package.

What Is Freight Movement?

Freight movement isn’t just about driving a truck from point A to point B. It’s everything behind the scenes:

• Choosing the right truck and equipment for the load
• Sorting out parking and loading space
• Timing things around your schedule
• Navigating Christchurch traffic and roadworks

From tight driveways in Sumner to rural farms in Rolleston, our crew knows the local roads like the back of their hand.

Container Transport

We’re fully equipped with swinglifts, hiabs, and flat deck trucks to move full containers — tricky access? No worries, we’ve seen it all.

‍

Move Logistics That Suit You

Every move is different. That’s why we don’t just hand you a quote without asking the right questions first. We want to know:

• What are you moving?
• Where’s it going?
• Are there restricted doorways or tight spaces?
• Do you need in-and-out service?

Once we understand your needs, we’ll customize the job — no pressure, no surprises. Just practical, honest solutions.

Not quite ready to unload? No worries. We offer short- and long-term storage here in Christchurch. Whether you’re putting tools away for a week or storing gear while sorting out a new lease, we’ve got clean, secure space ready for you — and easy to access when you need it.

‍

Tools for the Job

We don’t just rock up with a truck and cross our fingers. We bring exactly what’s needed:

• Swinglifts for full containers
• Hiabs for heavy or awkward lifts
