Most reliable, efficient and experienced heavy transport operators

Cotton Heavy Haulage Ltd specialises in the transportation of over-weight and over-dimensional loads.  We have four transporters capable of shifting all kinds of machinery.  This enables us to offer a comprehensive service throughout the country for the relocation of equipment as necessary.

Based in Nelson at the top of the South Island, we service the whole of New Zealand. With many years of experience in specialised cartage, the crew at Cottons can assure you of professional and efficient movement - whether you have a house, boat, equipment or machinery to get from one place to another.

In heavy haulage there is no substitute for experience - We've got 20 years of it.

We understand that a load can also be a livelihood, an investment or in fact a home. When you entrust us with your transport requirements, you can be assured that it is moved legally, safely, and efficiently every time. In reflection of 20 years of operations, it is these crucial elements which has enabled the Cotton name to be cemented as leaders in providing unique solutions to transport throughout Nelson and New Zealand.

Complimentary to Leith’s 20 years of experience in heavy haulage, we also have a comprehensive fleet suited for various over-width, over-weight or over-length applications. This includes the ability with our 250t rated Mercedes tractor unit to shift loads in excess of 100t with the addition of steering dolly axles. Our highlift tromboning house trailers enables us to shift buildings and structures of the largest width able to fit on the roads. Our brand new fully electronically controlled steering trailer is suited to manouevring overlength loads and houses around New Zealand roads.

About us

 

There are not many loads that Leith hasn’t shifted in 20 years as a heavy haulage operator. From trains, planes, helicopters, houses, boats and machinery of all shapes and sizes, we honestly do challenge you to find something he hasn’t shifted. As a qualified mechanic, Leith also gained mechanical experience in a division of MTE, the manufacturer of our widening trailers, which now compliments his extensive knowledge in heavy haulage.

Leith and Maria Cotton took ownership from Lynn and Ann Cotton after 23 years of them owning heavy haulage. With both Leith and Maria being pivotal in operations for many years prior to this, there was a natural transition for them to continue the reputation for a safe, reliable and efficient service while maintaining our ability to devise unique solutions for challenging loads.

Supporting us are our team of highly experienced transporter operators and registered Class 1 and Class 2 load pilots. Our staff are comprehensively trained and hold NZQA standards in Bridge Engineering Self Supervision and heavy haulage standards.

Consult with us today to discuss your requirements for over-dimensional and/or over-weight loads, and be assured of the best results during navigating over, around, under or through narrow roads, overpasses, bridges and power lines.
