About NZ Final Drives
Helping Keep Hardworking Kiwis Moving
When an excavator stops, work stops.
For many of our customers, their excavator isn't just another machine, it's how they earn a living, maintain their operation, or keep projects moving. An unexpected final drive failure can bring everything to a halt.
That's why NZ Final Drives was created.
We provide New Zealand excavator owners with a precision engineered alternative to expensive genuine replacement drives, backed by honest advice and friendly service.
Based in Wellington and proudly New Zealand owned, we supply quality aftermarket final drives to customers right across the country.
Why We Started
We saw too many excavator owners facing the same issue.
A genuine replacement final drive could cost thousands of dollars, sometimes more than the machine itself was worth. Many people were left choosing between an expensive repair or parking up their excavator altogether.
We believed there should be a better option.
In 2015 after extensive research and testing, our sister company - Aus Final Drives - began importing quality aftermarket final drives from a trusted manufacturer that specialises in producing final drives. In 2020 we opened NZ Final Drives using the same manufacturer.
To give ourselves complete confidence in what we sell, we had their final drive independently assessed by a New Zealand-qualified metallurgist.
Today, every drive we sell is backed by a two-year unlimited-hour warranty.

We Believe in Doing One Thing Well
Unlike many machinery parts businesses, we don't try to sell everything. We specialise solely in excavator final drives. That focus allows us to understand the products, support our customers properly, and confidently stand behind every drive we supply. Whether you own a Kubota, Hitachi, Komatsu, Yanmar, Kobelco, Takeuchi or another major brand, we'll help you find the right replacement.

Honest Advice. No Pressure.
Buying a replacement final drive isn't something most people do every day. We'll happily answer your questions, help identify the correct drive for your excavator, and explain your options in plain English. If an aftermarket final drive is the right solution, we'll tell you why.
If it isn't, we'll tell you that too. We'd rather build long-term trust than make a quick sale.

Keeping Overheads Low Means Better Value
We've deliberately built a lean business. By specialising in new aftermarket final drives and keeping our overheads low, we're able to offer exceptional value without compromising on quality or customer support. The result is straightforward pricing, reliable products and great service.
