As a Director of Lift N Shift Ltd, I am pleased to announce the acquisition of the assets of Waimea Heavy Haulage as of 1st July 2026. I'd like to sincerely thank Peter and Jenny McIntyre for the hard work, dedication, and commitment they have shown in building such a respected brand, an impressive fleet of vehicles, and a loyal customer base. Their efforts have created a strong foundation, and we look forward to building on that legacy. This acquisition brings together two businesses with complementary strengths, that will allow us to provide an even broader range of transport and heavy haulage solutions. Importantly, we've listened to our existing customers, and one of the consistent messages has been the need for a widening trailer. We're pleased that this acquisition enables us to meet that demand and further strengthen our service capabilities. We're also thrilled to welcome the Waimea Heavy Haulage team to Lift N Shift. Their experience, knowledge, and commitment to customers are a huge asset, and we're excited to have them join our business. We're especially pleased that Mark will remain at the helm, continuing to manage the day-to-day operations. His leadership and industry expertise will provide continuity for customers and staff alike, ensuring the high standard of service Waimea Heavy Haulage is known for continues well into the future. We're excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to developing new relationships while continuing to grow the trusted partnerships we already have. We remain committed to delivering safe, reliable, and professional service to customers throughout the industry. Thank you to everyone who has supported both businesses—we're excited for what the future holds. Reuben Eggers Director Lift N Shift Ltd
Every now and then, there’s a project that’s a little different from our day-to-day work — and this one was a biggie. On 13 April 2025, the Lift N Shift team came together for a major in-house project: capturing an epic photo of our fleet, along with individual shots of each truck. It might sound simple, but with 16 trucks and 3 cranes all needing to be moved, cleaned, positioned, and photographed — it was a logistical operation in its own right. And that’s not even including our trailers or a few other key pieces of equipment! A Big Team Effort This was a real team-driven effort. Liv took the lead on organising the shoot, while Chris (our Operations Manager) pulled some strings and helped coordinate the details. A huge thanks to Craig McCauley, our independent truck photographer, who managed the line-up and vehicle arrangement like a pro. We’re also incredibly grateful to the talented photographers who got behind the lens: Craig McCauley, Dave McCoid, and of course, our very own Chris Webby who stepped in with camera in hand. And we can’t forget our dedicated drivers, who gave up their Sunday to make sure everything got to and from the A&P Showgrounds safely and on time. Clean, Ready, and Camera-Ready With a workload that’s always full throttle, finding time to wash, polish, and prep that many trucks — plus cranes and gear — wasn’t easy. Space on the wash pad was tight, and the pressure was on. But with everyone pitching in, we pulled it off. As Liv put it: "Sleepless nights were a small price to pay for such a rewarding outcome. Thanks to the unwavering support of Steve, Reuben, and the entire team, this stands as one of the most impactful projects I've led to date." Chris summed it up perfectly: “It was great to see the fleet all cleaned up and come together in one place—it was an impressive sight to see. A great effort from the whole team to make the day come together.” Keep an Eye Out We’ll be sharing the final photos across our website and social media soon — so keep your eyes peeled for some serious truck envy. This project reminded us what teamwork, pride, and a bit of weekend hustle can achieve.
Big news from the yard — Lift N Shift has officially expanded its c apabilities with the purchase of a house trailer, marking a major step forward in what we can offer our clients across the Nelson and Tasman region. This new trailer significantly increases the size and scale of the relocations we can take on. Whether it’s moving entire buildings, large portable units, or complex modular structures, we now have the in-house equipment to handle bigger and more demanding projects than ever before. What This Means for Our Clients For our clients, this upgrade means more flexibility, more availability, and greater confidence that we’ve got the right gear for the job. We’ve always been known for precision moves, careful planning, and a sharp focus on safety — and now, with this powerful new addition to our fleet, we’re ready to push the boundaries even further. Looking Ahead We’ve a lready got a few major projects lined up that will put our new house trailer to work — and we can’t wait to share those stories with you in the coming months.
