Engineering Services for Palmerston North and the North Island
FLEX Engineering
We offer a wide range of engineering services to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Whether it’s one-off repairs or full-scale design and fabrication, our team delivers practical, high-quality solutions across a variety of materials and industries.

Transport
With a strong background in transport, we specialise in modifications, custom builds, and repairs for trucks, trailers, and transport equipment. We work closely with local certifiers when needed to ensure the highest standards are met.
We design and build transport setups from start to finish. From initial layout through to fabrication and fit-out, built to suit the job and compliance requirements.
We provide CAD drawings for transport builds, modifications, and repairs. Useful for design approval, certification, and workshop fabrication.
We build and modify crane trucks, tip trucks, and other custom truck setups. Work includes bodies, subframes, mounts, structural repairs, and general fabrication for new builds or rebuilds.
We carry out the fabrication work required for LT400 certification and work with certifiers to ensure the build meets compliance.

Laser Cutting
We cut plate to size with clean, accurate results. Suitable for one-offs, custom work, and repeat production.
We can work from a sketch, idea, or measurements and turn it into a cut-ready file. Drawings are set up properly so parts come out right first time.
We cut custom shapes, patterns, logos, and detailed designs from your files or ours. Suitable for panels, signage, decorative work, and general fabrication parts.
| Material | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Mild Steel | 25mm |
| Stainless Steel | 16mm |
| Aluminium | 12mm |

Structural
We fabricate and install structural steel for commercial and residential projects, along with earthquake strengthening work. Jobs range from simple beams to full structural packages.
Structural steel fabrication and installation for commercial buildings, including beams, columns, bracing, portals, and general structural work to plan.
Steelwork for residential builds and renovations, such as beams, portal frames, lintels, and support steel installed to drawings and site requirements.
Fabrication and installation of steel components for seismic upgrades, including braces, brackets, frames, and strengthening elements designed by engineers.

Tube & Pipe Bending / Handrails
We provide tube and pipe bending services, including custom and mandrel work, and we fabricate handrails to suit site requirements. We can work from sketches, patterns, or measurements for single jobs or larger runs.
We have a wide range of mandrel dies for tube and nominal pipe. Mandrel bending keeps the material round through the bend. If a job needs a die we don’t have, we can machine custom tooling in-house.
We can bend to patterns, templates, sketches, or supplied measurements. Bending software is used to convert data into clear instructions for the operators. Suitable for single items or larger quantities.
We fabricate handrails to suit residential, commercial, and industrial jobs. Straight, curved, or multi-section rails can be made to match site dimensions.

CNC Plate Pressing & Folding
We press and fold plate to spec using CNC equipment for accurate and repeatable results. We handle mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium in a range of thicknesses and profiles.
CNC pressing and folding of mild steel plate for structural, general fabrication, brackets, covers, and formed components.
Pressing and folding of stainless steel plate with clean, accurate bends suitable for food, commercial, and general stainless fabrication work.
CNC folding of aluminium plate for light fabrication, trays, covers, and formed parts where low weight and corrosion resistance are needed.

Repairs & Maintenance
We repair and maintain fabricated components, machinery, and structures. Work carried out on-site or in the workshop, depending on the job.
Repair of damaged or failed components to get equipment back up and running. Suitable for urgent jobs and unexpected failures.
Ongoing maintenance, wear repairs, and replacement of parts to keep equipment and structures in working condition.
Alterations to existing equipment or structures to improve function, fit new components, or suit updated requirements.

Stainless, Aluminium & Mild Steel
We work with mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium depending on the job. Built to suit application, environment, and finish requirements.
Fabrication in stainless for clean, corrosion-resistant applications. Suitable for food-grade, outdoor, and exposed environments where finish matters.
Lightweight fabrication for general and structural use. Suitable for transport, marine, and jobs where weight is a factor.
TIG and MIG welding depending on the job. Welds cleaned and finished to suit the application, including visible and exposed work.
