About Us
Our South Island Team
Based in Christchurch, our South Island team brings together decades of hands-on experience across heavy machinery, trucks, transport and the industries that rely on them.
At Independent Equipment, we understand that selling heavy machinery and fleet assets is a significant decision. Whether you are upgrading your fleet, downsizing, or simply looking to turn unused assets into capital, you need a team that understands your equipment, your industry and the importance of achieving the right outcome.
Our South Island team combines practical industry knowledge with a strong commitment to service. We don’t just list assets and wait for results — we manage the process from start to finish, keeping clients informed, finding the right buyers and doing what we say we will do.
Rob has spent his entire career around heavy machinery and trucks. With years of experience operating machinery and driving trucks, Rob has developed strong relationships throughout the industry and is well known for his practical knowledge, honest approach and ability to connect with people.
Amy joined Independent Equipment eight years ago and has helped grow the business from a one-person operation into the nationwide team it is today. Responsible for managing the day-to-day operations, Amy’s focus has always been on looking after people and making sure clients are supported every step of the way. She enjoys building relationships, solving problems and finding a way to help get the job done.
Shane brings extensive experience from the roading industry, along with valuable practical knowledge of heavy machinery and the challenges faced by contractors. Known for his friendly approach, positive attitude and ability to build relationships, Shane enjoys working alongside clients and helping achieve successful outcomes.
Supporting the team behind the scenes are Sarita and Jules, who keep the business running smoothly every day. Sarita, our Office Manager, and Jules, our Client Support person, manage client communication, transport coordination, invoicing and the many details involved in successfully moving heavy machinery and trucks from seller to buyer.
Together, our South Island team is focused on providing a helpful, friendly and reliable service. We pride ourselves on being approachable, responsive and willing to go the extra mile for both our clients and customers.
Whether you have one asset or an entire fleet, we have the experience, network and commitment to help you get it done.
From appraisals and marketing through to transport, finance and completing the sale, Independent Equipment is here to make the process simple and deliver the best possible result.
