A few of our valued customers

Predator has provided a full service to Lexus dealership workshops nationwide for 15 years. We advise, design layouts, and supply, install and maintain their custom vehicle hoists.

We have built up a strong rapport with Lexus's workshop managers, and receive excellent feedback about the quality of our equipment, attention to detail, and top service.

Predator has been working with NZ Toyota groups for 20 years, mostly by fitting out their nationwide workshops with our car hoists.

The only supplier offering a 3-year comprehensive warranty, we have established a strong relationship with Toyota's workshop managers. We always receive excellent reports on our products and managed service.

Since designing and fitting an entire prestige workshop for NZ's largest car dealership back in the late '90s, Predator has been Giltrap's preferred supplier for designing workshop layouts, recommending appropriate equipment, and providing specialised services.

We are highly recommended by Giltrap for our workmanship, equipment, and advice.

Garage equipment advice and service NZ-wide

We supply top-quality robust and reliable vehicle hoists, including 2-post, 4-post and mobile types ideal for dealerships and large auto repair shops, to specialised lifts for low workshop ceilings. We also supply premium equipment for vehicle testing and inspection.

We’ve got top-rated exhaust tube benders, vehicle AC service machines, and tyre, wheel, and brake servicing equipment. Where necessary, the power supply on imported machinery is converted for safe operation in New Zealand.
