We’re a family business that’s been putting better equipment on Kiwi job sites since 1983. We say what we mean, we back what we sell, and we pick up the phone when it rings.
APS Equipment was founded in 1983 as a family machinery business. Three generations later, that’s exactly what we still are.
The business has evolved a lot over the years — different equipment, different industries, different challenges. But the way we operate hasn’t changed. We tell you what works, we tell you what doesn’t, and we back up everything we sell.
That last part matters more than anything to us. We don’t just sell you a machine and disappear. After-sales support has been our reputation for over 40 years. It’s why companies keep coming back.
A few years ago, we became the exclusive New Zealand distributor for MAGNI — an Italian manufacturer known for building the most powerful telehandlers in the world.
The range is massive. From a compact 3-tonne, 6-metre machine that punches well above its weight, right through to rotating telehandlers reaching 51 metres and heavy-lift units that pick up 50 tonnes. Every machine in the lineup packs a serious punch for its size.
Why did we back MAGNI? Because in the UK, Europe, and Australia, rotating telehandlers are standard equipment. They replace cranes, scaffolding, EWPs — one machine, one operator, doing the work of three or four.
In New Zealand, most people in construction haven’t even seen one work. That’s not a criticism. It’s an opportunity.
When Selwyn Village needed a 12-month facade and joinery upgrade across 50 apartments in Auckland, the original plan called for extensive scaffolding and multiple machines.
We supplied a single MAGNI RTH 8.27 rotating telehandler instead. Zero disruption to the residents living on site. Faster completion than the original plan.
One machine. One operator. That’s what the right telehandler does.
Three locations, nationwide delivery. Everyone here knows your name, knows your job, and picks up the phone.
