Ad hoc freight


Occasional freight. Dependable service.

Not every freight task needs a full network redesign or dedicated fleet.

Sometimes you simply need to move something unusual, urgent, sensitive or difficult, and you need a transport partner who can quickly work out how to do it properly.

Alexander Group provides specialist and ad hoc freight support for one-off, irregular and non-standard movements across New Zealand.

  • Fast, practical response

    We quickly assess what needs to move, what is required and whether we are the right fit.

  • Flexible transport options

    Use Alexander Group trucks and trailers, your own equipment or a combination of both.

  • Specialist capability, scale to match

    Access experienced people, the right equipment and disciplined operating processes that deliver at scale.

  • North-South Linehaul Capacity

    Tap into our linehaul network for fast, cost-effective runs.

Why Alexander Group

When you need A-to-B, but with a dash of Complexity.

Some freight tasks sit outside the usual run sheet.

The product may be oversized, sensitive, regulated, urgent or needed at a difficult site. It may require a specific vehicle, direct movement, an unusual route or coordination across several parties.

You may only need help once. You may need it occasionally. Either way, the task still needs to be planned and executed properly.

Alexander Group brings the same transport discipline to ad hoc freight that we apply to larger, long-term operations. We assess the movement, identify the practical risks and put the right people, equipment and process around it.
