How to successfully hire devanners in Auckland

If you are looking to hire container devanning crews, then this article may help:


Things to Consider:

Before you start looking for devanning crews to assist your workplace, we would suggest considering the following:

  1. Do you need the devanning agency to supply a forklift operator.
  2. Do you need an MPI AP supplied, or will you supply this yourself.
  3. Where would you like all the completed pallets staged.
  4. Are the pallets needing to be fully wrapped.
  5. When you book, how quickly do you need staff supplied - 24hr, 48hr etc.
  6. How much of the devanning operation are you willing to outsource - will the devanners need to work autonomously, or will they be supervised.
  7. Is your site undercover, or will the weather impact your devanning operation.


Once you know what would best work both operationally, and financially for your business then we suggest reaching out to devanning companies/labour hire businesses (like MoreStaff).


Step-By-Step Process:

Many businesses are different in their approach to new work, but this is how we do things at MoreStaff.

  1. You will receive an initial on-site consultation for free. This is where one of our local Branch Managers will meet you, and assess your individual site needs.
  2. We will then provide a quote for the job based on what is required.
  3. If the quote is accepted, then we will agree on terms of trade.
  4. Once everything is agreed, we can start supplying devanners.
  5. We can usually have devanners on-site within 24-48hours of the consultation.
