Blog Header_1

Whether you’re working among orchard rows, vineyard vines, or navigating an industrial site, Hydralada has been helping Kiwi businesses get the job done - safer, smarter, and more efficiently - for over 50 years.

And now? Thanks to the New Zealand Government’s new Investment Boost tax initiative, there’s never been a better time to upgrade your gear and invest in the future of your business.

So, What’s the Investment Boost?

It’s a brand-new tax incentive designed to encourage local businesses to invest in new equipment.

Here’s how it works:

  • You can claim an immediate 20% tax deduction on the cost of any eligible new asset.
  • Plus, you still get to claim standard depreciation on the remaining amount.

There’s no limit on how much you can claim or how many assets - and it applies to a wide range of essential business tools, including Hydralada’s elevating work platforms.

Why This Matters for Horticulture, Viniculture & Industrial Businesses

Whether you’re running a high-performing orchard, managing a busy vineyard, or maintaining critical industrial infrastructure - now is the time to invest in equipment that delivers both productivity gains and real financial benefits.

  • Stay hands-free and efficient with foot-controlled operation
  • Confidently work on slopes up to 20°
  • Choose models tailored to your crop, canopy, and terrain

  • Get precise, safe access for canopy work and harvesting

  • Ideal for building maintenance, access, and more
