About Us | Equip2

Our Vision. Our Mission. Who we Are.

Our Vision. Be New Zealand and Oceania's premier crushing and screening supplier, servicer and innovator.

Our Mission. Supply the most reliable, innovative equipment, hand picked and customised by us to be the best solution to each operations needs. To lead by results and provide the best end to end experience and solution for our clients through expertise, support and cooperative relationships.

Who We Are. We are a close knit company led by key values to be the best of the bunch. We don't have 'salesmen' (or women), rather all our departments from servicing and operations management work together with clients to support their businesses, find solutions and back them up. It's these key differences that make us stand out from other dealerships and corporates. Whether you talk to accounting or parts dispatch we know you and we're here to work with you.

Our Values.

Our values help us define who we are and what we strive to do. It gives us a sense of purpose and goals to work to. We measure our success against how well we measure up to them and they remind us what's really important. We have five we keep in front of us.

Make it Better.

Whether it's our internal processes or a clients operational needs; Make it Better is what we strive to do, to improve and better than what was. If it doesn't meet this criteria we start again.

One Direction, One Team.

We win together, we lose together. It doesn't matter what 'department' we're in, we work together to solve for the solution. There's no jurisdictional conflicts here, and that's why we all have an interest in our clients. And if that means Patrick from accounting is called to service a machine, he'll be there in a jiffy.

Passion for Customers.

At the end of the day without customers we are not a business. Everything we work towards and everyone we work with is our priority. We think every business should have this as their core ethos as without it you won't keep your client happy or for long.

Sense of Urgency.

If it needs doing, we get it done. Quickly. No waiting till next week or for the 'right' person. We work towards solving things as quickly as we can.

Can do Attitude.

There's no 'glass half full' types here. Keen to give anything a go, in or outside of our comfort zone we're willing to take on responsibility where others shy away or procrastinate.

Testimonial

"Equip2 have looked after me for the last five years with my first Portafill crusher when I started contracting on my own. Since then I've now expanded to an even bigger Keestrack crusher and contract to some of the biggest companies in New Zealand. I've always received great backup and technical support from the team and they've kept me running through some of the more difficult contracts I've taken on."

Paris Monk

R4 Recycling Ltd.

"We've used Equip2 now for the last five years with their Keestrack and Portafill gear and we've seen some great results out of the gear. We've been progressively migrating our fleet to Equip2's from fixed plant and we've seen the business continue to grow in demand and our ability to meet this demand."
