About Frontline

Heavy gear, kept working

Forklift sales, lease and dealership, plus all-makes mobile servicing that travels to wherever your gear is. Old-school values, modern approach.

Our story

Built on a van, a toolkit and a standard

Frontline Services started in 2020, when Chris Allan — an auto electrician with a background in the military and the hire industry — set out to do construction-fleet repairs and servicing properly: show up on time, fix it right, and tell the customer straight.

That mobile, one-person operation has grown into a multi-technician business with a workshop at 2 Ormiston Road in East Tamaki, and it has expanded well beyond auto-electrical work — into forklift sales, leasing and an all-makes service operation covering forklifts, MEWPs, civil plant and air conditioning. The standard hasn't changed.

What we do

A dealer and a workshop, under one roof

Most companies do one or the other. We do both — and they reinforce each other. Buy through us and the same crew keeps it running.

We sell & lease forklifts

Zoomlion forklifts available now across New Zealand, backed by the established Zone range we've supplied and serviced for years. Sale or fully-maintained lease, delivered and pre-delivery inspected. Zone is the only forklift dealership badge we carry alongside Zoomlion.

We service everything

All-makes mobile servicing — forklifts, scissor and boom lifts, civil plant and heavy-machinery air conditioning. We bring the workshop to your site, handle MEWP compliance on schedule, and work on every brand, not just what we sell.

How we work

Old-school values, modern approach

Responsive

We show up when we say we will and keep machines working with minimal downtime.

All makes

We service every brand on your fleet, not just the ones we sell.

Honest

Straight communication, no jargon and no salesy runaround.

Preventative

We head off failures before they cost you a day, not just react to them.

Where we work

We travel to where the work is

Our mobile fleet goes where the gear is — right across New Zealand and, when the job calls for it, further afield (we’ve worked as far as the Pacific). Forklift sales and the dealership reach the whole country. Based at 2 Ormiston Road, East Tamaki, Auckland — got a job somewhere unexpected? Ask us.
