About / History

For more than 80 years
D T King & Co has been a mainstay of Southland’s services.
From its humble beginnings originating in Pukemaori in Western Southland in 1938, to its expansion across Southland, DT King & Co Ltd has spent the past eight decades providing diverse transport and contracting solutions for a wide variety of industry needs.

In 2022 as part of a long term plan DT King & Co Ltd separated and sold the Transport divisions and downsized to concentrate on our remaining Southland based services: Woodchip, Gravel & Rock Crushing and our Limeworks plant.

Services include

Log loading and cartage
Gravel transport and spreading
Contracting
Stock transport
Bulk cartage
Fertiliser
Mechanical and engineering
services
Rock and gravel pits
With several depots across Southland, DT King Transport has extensive expertise and resource to meet any transport need.
From carting logs and mixing and spreading fertiliser on paddocks, to carting heavy machinery or taking stock to sale, DT King has the capability. The company also includes engineering and mechanical services to ensure your operations can continue year-round.

DT King Transport has a proud, family-owned history. 

Since being established by Dave King, the business has been passed through generations and continues to be serviced by the King family, ensuring this robust legacy endures.

Coal, flax and general goods formed the company’s main business in its infancy. But Dave King had bigger vision and having already established a general store, he installed petrol pumps and soon began carting livestock.
DT King’s first loads were delivered by horse and cart, and sometimes bullock and cart. Now, Nissan Diesel, Volvos and Mercedes make up the fleet.
