Bucket truck hydraulic work and EWP repairs across Hawke’s Bay
EWP inspections and repairs – every make, every brand
Much of our time is spent working on all types of lifting equipment – scissor lifts, booms, cherry pickers and bucket trucks, especially truck-mounted gear. That is about 70 percent of all jobs handled and it shows in the detail and consistency.
Each EWP check covers hydraulic, mechanical and auto-electrical systems in one visit:
- Only one contractor – no juggling between providers
- Faster turnaround – equipment gets the all-clear with fewer site visits
- Compliance and certification taken care of
Everything from pumps, motors and hoses to sensors and relays is thoroughly checked – not just ticked off a list. Preventative maintenance is built in practically every time. When manufacturers rely on the outcome, you know your own gear is in capable hands.

Six-monthly checks and sign-offs
Six-month checks preserve compliance and keep you clear of fines or missed paperwork. Certification deadlines and inspection dates are managed for you, meaning your platforms keep the green light.
Your records and certificates are tracked in one place and every inspection follows CBIP and Worksafe requirements so you stay safely covered.
No one enjoys chasing up overdue sign-offs or missing deadlines. Automated tracking means you always know where things stand. No risky hacks or changes that invalidate approvals – just proper records and regular checks to keep your operations above board.

Rebuilds and custom setups for any job
Your EWP lasts longer and works harder with proper five or ten-year rebuilds. You are given a clear outline of what the process covers – welds, slew drives, cylinders and controls – as well as downtime estimates and costing.
This lets you make informed decisions around refurb versus replacement and plan maintenance before trouble hits.
Custom hydraulic and electrical builds are made to handle grit, salt and rough weather, with every setup matched to your environment. Expect honest feedback about what is legal and lasting – because cutting corners with compliance is never worth the risk.
