Ross Reid Contractors
Clayton Reid, Owner

“Our business is about passengers and planes. We needed absolute reliability in everything and that is what Jonel Hydraulics has given us. I have been dealing with Jonel for many years now & right from the first contact, they have proved to be very reliable, easy to deal with and turn around things very expediently.
They have certainly lived up to their reputation in the market place.”

Air New Zealand
Ted Harding, Garage Supervisor

“We needed to completely ensure that the cylinder was in 100% working order. We searched for a company to do this for us and were told that Jonel Hydraulics had the credentials to this for us. We were absolutely not disappointed, and received the best service. From the time the cylinder came into the facility, everything happened with the clockwork precision and we were out of there in the minimum time possible. Great stuff.”

AB Equipment

“The hire team at Jonel were responsive, informed and brought a lot of hydraulic knowledge to the table. Working with Jonel Hydraulics, it was a simple matter to agree a solution for verifying and documenting the pre-load force being exerted on the temporary screw pile props for the 132 Halsey Street apartments. The hydraulic hire equipment they supplied fitted the bill perfectly.”

Mark Turner, Project Engineer

“The manifold worked really well, as this allowed us to lift or lower each jack individually to suit our needs for each test. Having the use of the jacks and the control manifolds made levelling the shaft very easy. Thanks for all you help in organising the equipment and helping determine what the best equipment set up would be for the work we were trying to do.”

“Jonels have done a great job in supporting my crew and we really appreciate the level of effort and service Jonel has put in.”

Downer Construction
Allister Scott, Site Superintendent

“The design factor was over 600 tonnes so understanding how to do heavy lifts, and our experience in pre-stress and pre-cast concrete construction, were critical in scoping the job and coming up with a lifting system that would work. We were operating in a confined space so we needed a short, compact, lightweight jacking solution. We went with Jonel as they came up with the best solution and were able to tailor the performance of the jack to meet our specific requirements. The service was superb. They designed a specific solution for the lifting tonnes required, incorporating the cylinder types that would work.”

Hawkins Construction
Tim Jones, Engineering Manager

“Jonel Hydraulics has a highly qualified and experienced team and their skills and large facilities were essential for this project – we needed to be completely sure that the cylinder was in 100% working order.”

Porter Hire

“The team at Jonel have repaired all our hydraulic cylinders and supplied hydraulic services over many years. Down time of trucks and loss of productivity are major drivers of our transport customers and we are often under pressure to complete jobs fast.

Jonel has always helped us by being extremely flexible and delivering on their promise. We find their quality of work to be excellent and our staff work very well with them. Their close proximity, picking up and delivering our work, make it very easy for us to do business with them.”

IVE Group
IVE Tokoroa

“Sims Pacific Metals have had a long term relationship with Jonel Hydraulics. The hydraulic cylinders on our Metal Recycling Material Handlers and Car Shredder System often take a physical beating –and we require a quick and efficient cylinder repair turnaround service. Jonel Hydraulics has done exactly that consistently and proactively. Dealing with them has been hassle-free in that they will come in and pick up the cylinders and once repairs are done -deliver them back. Dean and his team are easy to deal with and are always ready to go the extra mile when required.”

Neil Staveley, Production Manager

“Jonel Hydraulics has repaired a number of cylinders for us in the past 12 months. The jobs have been delivered on time, on budget with quality workmanship. Dealing with them is easy and straight forward.”

Hauraki District Council
Peter Smith, Workshop Manager

“We have more than 300 spools – each weighing about 400 kg – that have to be continuously and precisely lifted from inventory and lowered into production positions. The hydraulic hand pumps we were using previously were excellent gear in themselves, but even strong men had to use 35-40 strokes to get the required lift and some of our ladies required up to 70 to do it comfortably and safely. We thought, ‘there has got to be a better way’ and that’s when we saw the XC Cordless pump at an EMEX engineering show, where it was being presented by Jonel Hydraulics. It was perfect.”

Cavalier Bremworth
Chris Young, Plant Engineer

“We have had excellent support from our suppliers like Jonel Hydraulics, who have been instrumental in helping us design and implement new processes to make us more efficient. We are now in the final stages of new machine development with Jonel.”

Crighton Engineering and Manufacturing Ltd
Mike Grunig, Company Manager

“Southpac is very safety conscious and efficiency aware and was actively seeking ways to make the job easier and quicker. We demonstrated to Jonel Hydraulics what we wanted to achieve and worked with them to produce this tool, which functions very precisely and reliably. We were so impressed that we subsequently got another Enerpac cylinder to draw spring bushes from most makes of trucks and trailers we repair, including our PACCAR range of vehicles.”

Southpac Trucks
John Jones, Southpac Trucks Assistant Service Manager

“Rob & Dennis have asked me to email you & your team with a huge Thank You for your outstanding service. We had our machine up and running by 8 am and this means a great deal to us. Can you please forward a credit application as we will be using your services in the future.”
