About Us.

We are a New Zealand-based, family-owned forklift company specialising in new and used Bendi forklifts.

Our parent company, Camson Hoist Hire, was established in the 1970s by Blair Robson. Originally, Camson provided fork-lift rentals and new and used fork-lift sales. However, due to considerable growth over the years, which led to Camson becoming no. 4 in New Zealand, Bendi New Zealand Ltd was formed to focus on forklift sales.

Paul Robson, Owner

Paul Robson began his career working for his father, Blair. Paul has now been working in the forklift industry for over 20 years and with degrees in engineering and computer science, he is one of the leading materials handling specialists in New Zealand. With public or offshore-owned companies, decision making is often slow because head office or a Board of Directors must be consulted. In contrast, Paul is very much hands-on and involved in every forklift sale. So, decisions are made quickly. And if you have a problem or need information, you can talk with Paul directly.

Premium Bendi Forklifts At Affordable Prices

As already said, we are a family business based right here in New Zealand. What does this mean for you? Well, our overheads are low. So, while Bendi forklifts are sold for a premium in other parts of the world, through us they are highly affordable. In fact, in almost all cases, the prices of our parts and tyres are lower than any other New Zealand forklift company.
