Construction Equipment Suppliers Wellington

Why source construction equipment through ArchiPro?

From commercial high-rises on Lambton Quay to residential builds in Upper Hutt, Wellington projects rely on machinery that performs safely and efficiently. ArchiPro vets every construction equipment supplier listed, ensuring they meet NZ regulations, carry reputable brands and offer responsive after-sales support. Using our platform saves you hours of cold calling and reduces project risk.

Key equipment categories

While every job is different, most Wellington builders look for:

• Earth-moving: excavators, skid steers, loaders
• Concrete: pumps, mixers, vibrators, cutting tools
• Lifting & access: telehandlers, cranes, scissor lifts
• Site services: generators, lighting towers, compressors

Compliance matters

New Zealand’s Health and Safety at Work Act requires plant to be fit for purpose and operators to be trained. Ask for certificates of inspection, maintenance logs and operator manuals. For detailed guidance, see WorkSafe’s machinery safety overview at WorkSafe NZ.

What to compare between Wellington suppliers

1. Fleet age & condition

Newer machines generally offer better fuel efficiency and lower emissions—important for projects aiming for Green Star ratings.

2. Support & downtime guarantees

Ask how quickly technicians can reach your site from Wellington City or the Hutt Valley and whether replacement equipment is provided during repairs.

3. Hire vs purchase options

Short-term civil works may favour hire agreements, while ongoing residential developments can benefit from ownership. Many suppliers offer both.

4. Finance & insurance

Look for competitive finance packages and clarity on insurance responsibilities—particularly for high-value cranes or drill rigs.

Typical pricing in Wellington

• 3-tonne excavator hire: $270–$320 per day
• Concrete line pump: from $160 per hour + travel
• 19 m boom lift: $450–$550 per day
