At SC Hydraulics, no two days are quite the same. One job might involve servicing a truck mounted crane in the workshop, while the next could be responding to a breakdown where a customer’s equipment is unexpectedly off the road.
For the Timaru based business, the focus is always the same: minimise downtime and get customers operating again as quickly as possible.
“Downtime costs our customers money. Our job is to get them back up and running as quickly as possible.”
Whether in the workshop or out in the field, the team supports customers across South Canterbury who rely on hydraulic equipment every day.
Supporting Equipment That Works Hard
South Canterbury Hydraulics was originally established in 2009, with the current owners taking over the business in 2015. Operating from Washdyke, Timaru, the business has continued building its reputation as a dependable hydraulic service provider for transport, construction and agricultural customers across the region.
Today, the workshop handles everything from hydraulic design and builds through to repairs, preventative maintenance and fault finding across a wide range of equipment.
Part of that work includes supporting PALFINGER truck mounted cranes and associated hydraulic systems operating throughout South Canterbury. Much of the work involves servicing, diagnostics and repairs, along with installation support and general maintenance to help customers keep equipment compliant and reliable.
The business has worked alongside PALFINGER NZ for around 15 years, giving the team strong familiarity with both the equipment and the industries it operates in.
Practical Support When It Matters
Many of the jobs SC Hydraulics attends involve customers who need equipment back operating quickly.
One example involved a crane fault that stopped a customer mid job. The SC Hydraulics team was able to diagnose the issue promptly, source the required parts and return the crane to operation with minimal disruption.
These are often the situations where experience and direct technical backing make the biggest difference.
Having access to genuine PALFINGER parts and technical support allows the team to diagnose faults accurately, complete repairs efficiently and stand behind the work they carry out.
“Having the backing of PALFINGER means we can deliver reliable, high-quality repairs with confidence.”
That support also gives customers added peace of mind, knowing their equipment is being maintained to the correct standard using the right parts and technical information.
Built Around Long Term Support
For SC Hydraulics, aligning with PALFINGER is a natural fit. The brand is widely used across the industries they support, and ongoing access to parts, technical information and training helps the team continue developing its capability as equipment evolves.
“PALFINGER products are well built and widely used across the industries we support, so it makes sense for us to align with a brand that our customers rely on.”
As part of the PALFINGER NZ nationwide service network, SC Hydraulics continues to provide South Canterbury operators with dependable local support backed by the experience and technical expertise of a global manufacturer.
