Elite Tiny Homes | New Zealand
Transporting a tiny home involves careful planning and consideration of various factors to ensure a smooth and safe move.
If your chosen tiny home design weighs under 3.5 tons (our 24 m² August and Maui) it can legally be towed on New Zealand roads, much like a caravan or boat!
For our larger 29/30m² designs (Phoenix, Gia, Maui XL, Fantail & Lowrider) weighing approximately 4.5 tons are legally required to be moved on flatbed transporter trucks – this process is a little more complex.
Our transport companies often use precise hydraulic lifting equipment on all four sides of the tiny home for careful loading & unloading. If your site has difficult access for the flatbed transporter they may need to use a crane to lift & unload at the other end.
The original tiny home trailer is towed separately, but as part of the same convoy, to the desired location.
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. As always, the team at Elite are happy to guide you through this decision making process.
Potential obstacles like low-hanging trees, power lines, or gates less than 3 meters wide might be present at your site. The transport company & the team at Elite Tiny Homes will likely require photos/videos, and possibly a visit to the site (if local to Auckland), to assess the situation fully.
If leveling of the tiny home is required, and it often is, there will be an additional cost depending on what system is used and how much time is needed.
