Quality Starts Long Before a Final Drive Arrives in New Zealand
Our Quality Standards
One of the questions we're sometimes asked is:
"Where are your final drives made?"
It's a fair question.
We only use one supplier, from China, who are ISO certified for hydraulic final drive assembly and produce OEM and after market final drives for excavators.
Our business model is simple and lean so we can offer you competitive prices, and monitor the quality of drives we import.
-
Modern manufacturing is a global industry.
Many of the world's best-known machinery brands source components from factories throughout Asia, Europe and North America.
What matters isn't simply where a product is made.
What matters is the quality of the engineering, the manufacturing standards, the materials used, the quality control processes, and the company's willingness to stand behind its product.
That's exactly what we looked for when selecting our supplier.
-
Rather than purchasing from multiple factories, we made the decision to work with one carefully selected manufacturer.
That allows us to:
Know exactly where every final drive comes from.
Build a long-term relationship with our supplier.
Monitor product quality over time.
Maintain consistency across our product range.
Stand behind every drive we sell.
We believe consistency is one of the biggest contributors to quality.
-
We didn't simply accept the manufacturer's claims.
To give ourselves complete confidence in the products we supply, we had the drives independently assessed by a New Zealand-qualified metallurgist.
That independent assessment undertaken by R&D Consulting Limited (Specialists in Metallurgy, Corrosion Engineering, Materials Selection and Performance) gave us confidence in the final drives we import.
It's another reason we're comfortable standing behind every drive we sell.
-
Our supplier has specialised in manufacturing excavator final drives for many years using modern production techniques and comprehensive quality control procedures.
Every final drive undergoes inspection and load testing before leaving the factory.
-
Quality isn't just something we talk about.
Every new aftermarket final drive we supply is backed by a two-year unlimited-hour warranty.
We simply wouldn't offer that level of warranty if we didn't have confidence in the products we sell.
-
At NZ Final Drives, we believe customers deserve honest advice and complete transparency.
We're proud of where our products come from, the relationships we've built with our manufacturing partner, and the quality standards behind every final drive we supply.
That's why we're happy to tell the story.
Because quality is about far more than the country stamped on a label.
