Top standards and reliability For more than 15 years Acti-Bush Ltd has been making bushes and pins for machinery operators. They have always supplied to larger players such as mining companies, crane operators and civil construction companies. Now, mainly through wordof-mouth, smaller enterprises are ordering from Acti-Bush’s extensive range. The range is made and stocked in New Zealand. Operators can order any standard bush size for almost any make of machinery and be confident that the product will be in their hand the next day. Acti-Bush general manager Steve Neville says this is particularly attractive to people such as contractors and farmers with their own bulldozers and diggers, as they’re often under pressure and need to fit the work in whenever time and weather allow. “When pins and bushes wear out, owners of smaller machinery need replacement parts. They know that through us they will get fast, helpful service and they will be able to change the part themselves rather than having to go to an engineering shop.” Acti-Bush also carries a stock of pin seals, shims and tags. Their 200-plus bush sizes are machined to strict tolerances and heat treated for hardness, and every unit is quality checked. It is common for Acti-Bush pins and bushes to last two
or three times longer than imported equivalents reducing maintenance costs and downtime. “If anything, they’re too good,” Steve says. “They don’t wear out fast enough, so people don’t need to buy replacements.” Initially, Acti-Bush products sold only in Auckland, and now it’s sold throughout New Zealand and into the Pacific region. Steve says while Acti-Bush grew out of necessity the company is proud of the product they are manufacturing and their ability to do so at a competitive price. “We’re very proud of being a New Zealand company, making a highquality product in New Zealand and employing New Zealanders.” Simple 24/7 ordering via the ActiBush website has reduced turnaround time even further. Custom-made pins can also be ordered through the website, and every one-off product is made to the same high standards of technical accuracy and reliability.
All our products are made here in New Zealand from quality materials for long-lasting performance
