For decades, Palfinger NZ has been powering New Zealand’s construction, logistics, forestry, recycling, and marine industries. With close to 50 years in the local market and more than 90 years worldwide, we’re proud to be the country’s leading supplier of truck-mounted cranes, tail lifts, hookloaders, forestry and recycling cranes, and marine cranes.
What sets us apart is not just our equipment, but the complete solution we provide: innovation, fast parts availability, nationwide service, and tailored variations and attachments to match the demands of Kiwi businesses.
Unmatched Product Knowledge and Expertise
Our team knows the Palfinger range inside out. With decades of industry experience, we provide extensive technical expertise and a thorough understanding of the New Zealand market to match the right equipment to your application, whether that’s a crane for waste management, a tail lift for logistics, a crane for heavy lifting, a marine crane for offshore operations, specialised forestry equipment, and associated attachments.
And if your operation requires a more specialised solution, we can source and supply the right product directly from the global Palfinger network.
Quality Equipment, Built to Last
Palfinger is committed to excellence and innovation, ensuring the equipment remains at the forefront of the industry. Our products are continually refined to be lighter, faster, safer and more effective, providing high-performance stability across all applications. Every piece of Palfinger equipment is built to last with a frontline lifespan that spans decades.
Designed to handle everything from busy urban logistics to challenging forestry and remote marine tasks, our equipment delivers reliability and durability under New Zealand’s toughest conditions. Many of our customers still operate Palfinger equipment purchased decades ago, proof of the value built into every unit.
Tailored Solutions, Attachments and Variations
To help your operation work smarter, Palfinger offers a wide range of attachments and variations. High-quality options including rope winches, rotators, grabs, crane forks and link-rotator combinations extend the functionality of your equipment for specialised tasks such as log handling, material manipulation and other industry-specific applications.
With up to 400 variations per unit available, our team can customise equipment to meet your exact operational requirements. This ensures every setup is optimised for efficiency, safety and performance in New Zealand conditions.
Parts Availability That Keeps You Moving
Minimising your downtime is a priority for us. That’s why Palfinger NZ takes a proactive approach to parts supply. We stock a wide range of high-demand and common-wear parts across all product lines and attachments, ensuring availability before you even need them. From crane components to tail lift parts, we’ve got you covered—helping your equipment spend more time working and less time in the workshop.
Nationwide Service Network
From Kaitaia to Invercargill, Palfinger Service is never far away. Our own team directly services equipment in Auckland and our new Christchurch facility (opened in 2025), while an extensive network of trusted third-party partners nationwide delivers the same high level of after-sales support. All partners have full access to Palfinger technical data and training, ensuring that wherever you are in New Zealand, you’ll get the expertise you need.
