Providing best in class service, Auckland Metro Transport is at the heart of our business. Starting with one truck in 1984, RPC logistics services a range of industry segments with its Hiab Fleet.
Working for customers in many industries for more than 40 years with our Hiab trucks, service, safety and getting the job done right is front of mind.
Our Hiab transport solutions service industries including:
With a diverse fleet ranging from vans to truck and trailer units, including tail-lifts and Hiab cranes, RPC Logistics offers transport options to suit businesses of every size. Whether you need metro deliveries, regional distribution, or specialist truck hire in Auckland, our flexible fleet is ready to keep your goods moving every day.
At RPC Logistics, our customers gain more than just trucks and drivers — they gain access to a dedicated team of transport specialists committed to keeping supply chains running smoothly. Our flexible transport services are designed to adapt to the changing needs of your business, whether you require metro deliveries, regional distribution, or nationwide freight solutions.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all transport. Our Hiab specialists work with you to plan safe, efficient lifts that suit your site, your freight, and your schedule — from construction materials to containers and project work.
With a diverse range of Hiab crane trucks across Auckland, we can handle everything from light commercial deliveries to heavy industrial lifts. Whether you’re moving steel, glass, or machinery, we’ve got the truck — and the reach — to get it done.
Get real-time tracking, delivery updates, and proof of delivery — anytime, anywhere. Our team monitors every Hiab job from pickup to placement, so you know your freight is safe and on schedule. And yes — we still answer the phone when you call.
A Hiab is a truck with its own crane mounted on the chassis, so it can load, carry and place heavy or awkward items without a separate crane or forklift on site. It is the go-to option for building materials, steel, glass, machinery, containers and anything that needs to be lifted over a fence or placed exactly where you need it.
Every RPC Hiab comes with an experienced driver-operator. We plan the lift, bring the right truck for the weight and reach, and deliver your load safely, whether it is a single delivery or ongoing work for your business across Auckland and the wider region.
| Truck | Best for |
|---|---|
| 8-wheeler Hiab trucks | Larger and longer loads: steel, building materials, machinery, container units and site deliveries |
| 4×4 Hiab | Sites with tricky access, such as steep, narrow or unsealed driveways |
| Larger Hiab units | Heavier lifts or longer reach. We have access to larger Hiab units when a job needs more lifting power |
How much can a Hiab lift? It depends on how far the crane has to reach. The further the boom extends, the less it can lift. As an example, one of our units lifts around 3 tonnes at about 6 metres. Tell us the weight and how far the item needs to go from where the truck parks, and we will match the right Hiab to the job.
Our Hiab trucks run from our depot in Māngere Bridge and work right across Auckland:
