Elite Tiny Homes | New Zealand

Transport

If your chosen tiny home design weighs under 3.5 tons, our 24sqm (Matai, August, and Maui) it can legally be towed on New Zealand roads, just like a caravan or boat.

For our larger 29 sqm designs weighing approximately 4.5 tons (Phoenix, Gia, Maui XL & Fantail) go on transporter trucks – which is quite the sight to see!

The Move

Transport companies use precise hydraulic lifting equipment on all four sides of the home for careful loading. If the site has difficult access for the transporter they will use a crane to lift & unload the home at the other end. The original tiny home trailer gets towed separately by a ute and brought to the required site.

 Sometimes the site has weight or space restrictions, so they place the home back on its own trailer for easier manoeuvring.

If leveling of the home is required (and it often is), there will be an additional cost depending on what system and how much time is required. Make sure to communicate this request with your chosen company before booking.

Once you’ve chosen the perfect spot for your tiny home, we ask that you contact a transport company to make a booking. We’ve provided a list of reputable companies below, but you’re welcome to explore other options. They may request videos and photos of the site, including any potential obstacles like low-hanging trees or power lines.
