Hydraulink Hamilton triples its size as Trans-Tasman
brand grows
A new hydraulic service facility three times
larger than the one it replaces has been
introduced to Hamilton by Hydraulink to
provide a one-stop shop for hydraulic
services vital to the rapidly growing new
industrial heartland.
The 500 sq m facility with 12 full-time staff
at Burbush industrial area was opened
recently (third quarter 2018) to provide
outstanding 24/7 service, parts availability
and experienced and expert support to
complement the company’s mobile service
teams and Hydraulink distributors
focussed on the expanding range of
Hydraulink customer groups in the area.
The new facility replaces a 12-year-old
HQ that was a victim of its own success,
as more and more local businesses were
attracted to Hydraulink’s quality, expert
service and can-do approach, says Hamilton
Hydraulink manager, Darin Pillay.
Hydraulink Hamilton is one of the newest
facilities of the rapidly expanding New
Zealand and Australian Hydraulink network,
which now exceeds 400 service points
over both countries, including branches,
distributors and mobile units. The network’s
national service reach extends
from growth regions such as Hamilton,
with its diverse and expanding economic
base, through to some of Australasia’s
most remote energy and forestry sites,
and some of its most diverse and largest
mining sites.
Key industries locally now drawing on
Hydraulink Hamilton services include
agriculture and food production, construction
and infrastructure, civil engineering,
forestry, manufacturing, mining, machinery
OEM and rental and other industries that
depend on prompt, expert service coupled
with strong supply of quality branded
hoses, fittings, adaptors and accessories
vital to optimising machinery reliability and
safety while avoiding costly downtime
“Whether the customer is in a thriving
industrial region, such as that around Hamilton,
or out in the backblocks in primary
and tertiary industry, they all require top
standards of routine maintenance, prompt
emergency assistance. And they want
experienced technical support available
24/7 from the one trusted brand,” says
Mr Pillay.
Advantages
“One of our big advantages at Hydraulink
is that we have all this experience and
capability built up under the one brand,
so customers know that the excellence
they receive from one branch will be the
same excellence delivered to the same
standards at other places. This consistency
and quality is very important to customers
with diverse and multiple sites who want
traceability and uniformly high standards
of service and safety delivered across
their organisations.”
Hydraulink is building up strong inventory
of hoses, fitting, adaptors and accessories
at Hamilton to ensure customers are not
held up by the current global shortage of
hydraulic manufacturing capacity. The
Hamilton branch also supports major
innovations such as:
• Hydraulink automated lubrication systems
for labour-saving enhancement
of reliability
• Hydratag hose management systems
to improve productivity and operational
reliability
• Hydraulink fire suppression systems
to protect machinery and productivity
• Full range of Motultech Oils and Lubricants
Hydraulink ceo Robin Simpson says the
ongoing growth of the brand throughout
Australia and New Zealand comes from
strengths such as quality product and
prompt expert service from the wide range
of dedicated and highly skilled people who
drive the company as an innovator and
market leader.
“Our valued customers in Hamilton – and
all areas of both Australia and New Zealand
– can rely on experienced Hydraulink
people to solve a wide range of problems
and assist with business growth. This
‘can do” attitude of our people has seen
Hydraulink develop over the past 20 years
to become a recognised industry leader
in regional areas and across national and
state borders.”
Engineers speak
out on seismic
resilience and
water
Engineers have called for fresh
thinking about New Zealand’s
seismic and water challenges, in
a report released.
Engineering a Better New Zealand
sets out an expert engineering
vision for a healthier, more
prosperous New Zealand - and
the steps we must take together
to get there. It’s the first in a series
of thought leadership reports
from Engineering New Zealand.
Engineering New Zealand
president Dean Kimpton says
community resilience sits at the
heart of this vision.
“We must deliver a more resilient
and sustainable New Zealand that
can thrive in the face of climate
change, natural disasters and the
effects of growing urbanisation.
We need to aspire to more than
being experts in post-event fixes.
“In Engineering a Better New
Zealand, we call for a new
regulatory approach to existing
buildings that better protects
people from severe earthquakes.
We also call for rethink on what
we’re designing buildings for – is
it enough just to allow evacuation
or should we be making buildings
that have a life beyond a moderate
earthquake?
“In terms of water, we support
the Government’s move to fix our
‘broken drinking-water system’,
and we ask the community to
place a greater value on safe
water. We look at lessons from
recent floods and we call for hard
decisions to be made in the face
of climate change.”
Engineering New Zealand chief
executive Susan Freeman-Greene
says it’s time for engineers to
speak out and make their voice
heard.
“Engineers work at the coalface
of seismic and water issues.
They’re best placed to work with
our communities to identify and
solve these challenges.”
