Attachments for heavy equipment

Attachments for heavy equipment in New Zealand

Updated 5 November 2026

An attachment for heavy equipment in New Zealand usually costs between NZ$540 and NZ$13,500, depending on the type and the machine it fits. Grapples and log grabs sit at the top of that range, while pallet forks and tooth bars are the cheapest. For a price that fits your exact machine, describe it on BlaBlaPrice: the request goes to sellers registered here, and the AI also checks sellers' websites in New Zealand.

Rules and warranty to check

WorkSafe's guidelines explain how to manage health and safety risks around machinery at work, so ask the seller which attachment is rated for your machine and how it is fitted. If the attachment goes on a truck or trailer, check its gross mass, because NZTA's heavy vehicle safety rules apply to vehicles above 3,500 kg. For goods bought in New Zealand the law already gives you rights, so an extra manufacturer's warranty matters only when it offers more. Some attachment makers offer a 36-month warranty, so ask for the terms in writing before you pay.

Season and when to order

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August, so November is late spring. Order now and the attachment can be on the machine before the summer work season. Winter is the wet, cold part of the year, when ground work is harder, so plan heavy jobs for the drier months.

Delivery and specifications

Sellers list attachments in metric units: a tractor bucket is 1.8 m wide, an excavator pallet fork is rated for 3000 kg, and a dirt scoop suits a 20 to 35 HP tractor with a three-point linkage. Check the fitting, the lifting capacity and the machine's power, then ask for delivery to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga.

What to write in your request

Name the machine and its model and weight, the attachment type, the fitting, and whether you want to buy or rent. Add the condition you accept (new or used), the delivery city and your budget. Sellers reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to exchange them.

Offers for attachments come through BlaBlaPrice, and it is free for buyers. Write the machine and the job in the chat on the home page, or first read how BlaBlaPrice works. If you are still choosing the machine, compare bulldozers and tractors.
