Who went along to the Hāwera A&P Show last month? You may have seen one of our truck containers that was transformed into a stage for the weekend’s live music (versatility at its best ;))
The converted container created a fantastic focal point for the show, with music carrying across the showgrounds and drawing crowds throughout the day. It was a great example of how Agtrans equipment can be adapted for more than just heavy haulage, providing a practical and unique platform for community events.
From lifting and transport projects to supporting local events, the Agtrans team is proud to play a role in bringing people together across the region.

One of the standout sights at the recent Hāwera A&P Show was the Agtrans crane with its 25 metre boom reaching high above the showground. It was definitely hard to miss and a great conversation starter across the weekend.

Agtrans operates a fleet of cranes based in South Taranaki, supported by certified equipment and experienced operators who hold the relevant qualifications for the machinery and tasks they perform. With qualified riggers available and a full range of certified man cages, spreader bars and associated lifting gear, the team can plan and execute lifts safely and efficiently.

Our crew also maintain site inductions for many of Taranaki’s major industrial sites, with most staff holding common permit-to-work qualifications.

From 1 tonne to 140 tonnes, there’s a crane for every job.

On arrival at Pātea Dam, the final stage began which was preparing to lift the barge into the water.

With precise crane placement, controlled lifting and clear communication across the team, the operation was executed smoothly and safely. The result: a successful lift, completed on time, with a happy client and another complex project delivered as planned. 👍

From first lift design to final placement, Agtrans brings precision, care and control to every stage of the job.

Once the barge was loaded and secured, the focus shifted to packing down and preparing for the journey to Pātea Dam.

These images show the team travelling en route to the final destination. It’s a strong reflection of Agtrans’ hands-on culture and leadership approach: planning, leading and delivering from start to finish.

Complex projects succeed when experience, teamwork and accountability travel together. ☺️

Before any heavy load hits the road, the real work happens on the ground.

These photos show the Agtrans team securing the barge for transport. This is a critical stage that ensures stability, safety and compliance throughout the journey. Load restraint involves careful positioning, rated chains and straps, edge protection, tension checks and ongoing inspection to manage movement and forces in transit.

It’s this attention to detail that underpins safe heavy haulage and reflects Agtrans’ commitment to doing the job right, every time. 👌

Transporting oversized infrastructure is never just about moving weight, it’s about detailed planning, logistics and ex*****on.👌

These images capture the loading phase of transporting the Pātea hydro-dam barge from Hāwera back to the Pātea Dam.

From route planning and load management through to craneage, traffic coordination and site-specific considerations, every step was carefully mapped out in advance.

Agtrans can lift 140 ton although their transport ability for a single item is 80 ton. They bring together technical expertise, specialised equipment and experienced operators to safely deliver complex projects like this, on time and under control. 🙌

Precision lifting is about control, from lift design and planning through to final placement.

Agtrans’ craneage expertise ensures complex pre-cast concrete installations (pictured) are executed safely, accurately, and right the first time.

With detailed preparation, experienced operators and the right equipment, the heaviest lifts (often on demanding construction and infrastructure sites) are always handled with care and confidence.
👌🙌

In complex, high-risk environments, visibility is critical.

By using remote-controlled lifting equipment, Agtrans operators are able to step away from the cab and maintain a clear, unobstructed view of the entire working environment.

This approach reduces risk, improves accuracy, and supports safer man-cage access, particularly when working around infrastructure such as transmission power lines.

Combining technology, experience and planning enables Agtrans to deliver safer outcomes on challenging sites. 👌

We’re specialist oversized transporters (any load no matter how large!). This was one of four classrooms we moved from Hawera Intermediate to Hawera High School.

From classrooms to barges, buildings to bridges – it’s never just about moving weight, it’s about detailed planning, precise ex*****on, and maintaining complete control at every stage of the journey.

From route assessments and load stability to careful placement at the destination, the Agtrans team specialises in complex lifts and heavy haulage where accuracy, care and experience matter most.

It’s this attention to detail that allows Agtrans to safely deliver some of the most challenging moves in the industry.

Global Stainless are recognised internationally for their sculptural fine-art metalwork and transporting work of this scale and complexity demands absolute precision.

Agtrans partnered with the Global Stainless team to transport a large, top-heavy sculpture to Wellington for installation. The project involved careful load management, custom framing for transport, on-site removal from the frame, and a horizontal lift for final placement.

With the right equipment, technical insight and experienced operators, the sculpture, “Kimi / You Are Here”, was transported and installed seamlessly to Waitangi Park in Wellington, demonstrating Agtrans’ ability to handle complex, high-risk lifts.

When Global Stainless needed to relocate a 22-ton press brake from an old site into a new workshop (without removing the roof) it called for careful planning, lateral thinking and absolute precision.

Using specialised lifting equipment and proven technical expertise, the Agtrans team executed a precision lift and placed the machinery exactly where it needed to sit within an 800 sqm workspace.

We thrive doing complex work that’s outside of the ordinary! This project is a great example of how complex transport and lifting challenges can be solved safely and efficiently with the right people, the right equipment, and a solutions focused approach.
