Freight Built for Joinery, Not Hub-and-Spoke Parcels
Most freight networks move parcels through sorting hubs - great for boxes, bad for a 3-metre window unit or a glass panel. Every extra handling point is a chance for a scratch, a crack or a warranty claim. From our Albany depot we run scheduled North Island freight the other way: door to door, minimal handling, straight from your factory to site.
Aluminium Joinery Transport & uPVC Window Delivery NZ
Window frames, sliding doors and glazed units are awkward, valuable and unforgiving of rough handling - a scratch or crack means a reinstallation cost and a delayed handover. We strap and edge-protect at pickup, keep each unit secured as one load, and skip the load-unload-reload cycle a depot network would put it through.
Oversized Freight Transport NZ & Non-Palletised Freight Shipping
Garage doors, long joinery runs and oversized commercial items rarely fit a standard pallet. Tell us the dimensions and handling requirements at booking, and we'll send the right vehicle for the item - not a generic pallet truck trying to make it fit.
Glass Freight NZ: Splashbacks, Balustrades & Glazed Units
Glass freight NZ wide is its own discipline. A glazed unit that arrives chipped on one edge is not a repair job, it is a remake, and the cost lands on whoever booked the transport. We carry glass upright in purpose-built stillages and A-frames rather than flat on a deck, because flat-packed glass flexes over road joins and that flex is what cracks it. Every piece is separated with cork or foam so pane never touches pane, and the load is strapped against the frame, not across the face of the glass.
We move shower glass, splashbacks, balustrade panels, mirrors, shopfront glazing and double-glazed units for glaziers and joinery manufacturers throughout the North Island. Because we run our own trucks on scheduled routes, your glass goes on at our Albany depot and comes off at the destination without a single depot transfer in between - which is where most glass damage actually happens.
Window Freight NZ & uPVC Joinery Freight NZ
Window freight NZ jobs almost never suit a standard pallet. Finished window units are tall, awkwardly balanced and easily marked, and they arrive on site expecting to be installed the same week. We transport assembled window frames, sliders, bifolds and French doors upright and fully supported, with corner protection on every exposed edge and hardware kept with the unit so nothing goes missing between factory and site.
uPVC joinery freight NZ needs slightly different handling again. uPVC scuffs and scratches more readily than powder-coated aluminium and it can distort if it is left strapped hard against a sharp edge in the sun. We pad the contact points, keep the strapping tension off the profile faces and load uPVC frames so they are not carrying the weight of anything stacked on top. Whether it is a single replacement window or a full house lot heading to Tauranga or Hamilton, it travels on one truck, with one driver, on a day you can plan your install around.
