Why Longridge Engineering?

Longridge Engineering is based in Waipukurau and works with private vehicle owners, farmers, trades and commercial operators across Central Hawke’s Bay.

Tow bar supply, fitting, wiring and any required fabrication are handled by our local team, so the job is not passed between different suppliers.

We recommend a setup based on the vehicle, the load and how it will actually be used. Parts, pricing and timing are confirmed before the booking, and the installation is tested before the vehicle leaves the workshop. Once the job is done, you also know exactly where to come back for advice or support.
