New Zealand’s Trusted Material Handling Specialists Since 1946

Rex Industrial Equipment designs, builds and supplies the equipment that keeps New Zealand businesses moving. From wheels and castors, trolleys and pallet trucks to conveyors, ladders, forklift attachments and fully custom solutions for the jobs off-the-shelf equipment can’t solve.

We’ve been doing it for 80 years. Proudly third-generation and Kiwi owned, with four branches and a team who would rather talk you through the right solution than leave you guessing from a catalogue.

We don’t just sell reliability. We build it.
