Do you work from drawings?

Yes. We can work from your drawings or produce our own from your requirements.

Can you source components we have already specified?

Yes, either component-only or as part of a full install.

Will the finished system be documented?

You get a summary of the setup so future servicing and fault finding is straightforward.

Can you fabricate the mounts as well as plumb the hydraulics?

Yes. Fabrication and hydraulics are both done in-house, which is usually why this kind of job comes to us.

Can you retrofit hydraulics to an older machine?

Often yes. Send photos and tell us what you want it to do, and we will tell you whether it is practical.

Custom Hydraulic Solutions for Northland Machinery

Sometimes the problem is not a broken part, it is that the machine was never set up to do what you now need it to do. We design and build hydraulic setups around the actual job, from component selection through to installation and commissioning.

Handover notes on how the finished system works

How the process works

1
Understand the intent
What the system needs to do, how often, under what load and in what conditions.
2
Design and quote
We propose a setup, list the components and confirm cost before you commit.
3
Build and install
Components are sourced, mounts fabricated where needed, and the system installed on the machine.
4
Commission and hand over
We test, adjust and hand over with clear notes so it can be serviced later.

Workshop vs on-site

Design work, fabrication and component builds happen at the Whangārei workshop.

Installation and commissioning can be workshop or on site depending on the machine, your location and current workload.

What you get out of it

A hydraulic system built around the actual job
Fewer compromises from bolting together mismatched parts
A setup that is safe to operate and straightforward to maintain

Equipment and industries

Attachment installs, sweeper and brush setups, tipping and tanker bodies, service vehicle builds, custom plant modifications and fixed industrial equipment.

Because we fabricate as well, the steelwork and the hydraulics are designed together rather than handed between two workshops.
