Supporting the Industry Behind the Stories
Behind every successful film production is a network of people and businesses whose expertise helps bring ambitious creative projects to life. In New Zealand's screen industry, world-class crews, spectacular locations and trusted suppliers work together to create productions that are recognised around the globe. Alongside creativity and innovation, reliability is one of the qualities that keeps those productions moving forward.
For Access Specialties, supporting the film industry has never simply been about machinery. It is about people, relationships and helping productions operate with confidence by ensuring the equipment they rely on performs every day.
Built on more than 30 years of experience in access equipment, Access Specialties has grown from a specialist EWP service provider into a nationwide support network trusted across construction, infrastructure, industrial projects and, increasingly, film and television production. With workshops in Auckland and Christchurch, a fleet of fully equipped service vehicles and technicians working throughout New Zealand, the company has earned a reputation for responsiveness, technical expertise and practical solutions.
That approach has helped build a strong working relationship with Pro Services, a company deeply embedded within New Zealand's production and events sectors. Known for its specialised rental fleet, transport capability and actor trailer solutions, Pro Services supports productions of every scale, delivering the equipment and logistics that help crews work efficiently across a wide variety of locations.
The partnership between the two companies has grown naturally over time because they share a common philosophy. Both businesses are built around long-term relationships, responsive service and a commitment to helping clients achieve successful outcomes. While Pro Services works directly with productions to provide equipment, transport and site solutions, Access Specialties supports the fleet behind the scenes, helping ensure it remains reliable, compliant and ready for every production.
Every screen production relies on equipment that performs consistently. Boom lifts supporting lighting crews, scissor lifts assisting set construction, telehandlers operating across varied terrain and specialist transport equipment all play an important role in delivering complex productions safely and efficiently.
Access Specialties helps make that possible.
Its technicians provide servicing, major inspections, certifications, diagnostics and field support across a broad range of access equipment and specialised machinery. While much of this work takes place behind the scenes, it provides production teams with the confidence that their equipment is prepared, maintained and ready to perform whenever it is needed.
What makes the relationship with Pro Services particularly successful is a shared understanding that every project is built on trust. Productions value suppliers who communicate clearly, respond promptly and work collaboratively as plans evolve. Both teams understand that successful outcomes come from preparation, reliability and a willingness to find practical solutions.
The businesses also share a strong cultural alignment. Both are proudly New Zealand owned and have built their reputations through hard work, long-term relationships and exceptional service. The people behind each company remain closely involved in day-to-day operations and take genuine pride in supporting an industry that showcases New Zealand's talent, locations and capability to audiences around the world.
For Access Specialties, working alongside companies like Pro Services has provided a unique opportunity to support one of New Zealand's most dynamic industries. Film production is unlike any other sector. Every project brings together new creative teams, new locations and new opportunities to collaborate. It is an environment that values adaptability, professionalism and trusted partnerships.
That adaptability has become one of Access Specialties' defining strengths as the business continues to expand nationwide. What began as a specialist access equipment service company has evolved into a valued support partner for customers operating across some of New Zealand's most significant industries, including the screen sector.
Despite that growth, the company's philosophy has remained unchanged: support people well, respond quickly and take pride in doing the job properly.
Like filmmaking itself, success is built on collaboration. While audiences experience the finished story on screen, every production is supported by an extensive network of skilled professionals working behind the scenes. From equipment servicing and transport logistics to technical expertise and on-the-ground support, every contribution helps create the foundation for a successful production.
For Access Specialties, being part of that process is something the team is incredibly proud of. It is an opportunity to support the people and businesses that bring New Zealand stories, and international productions, to life, helping ensure the industry continues to deliver world-class productions that are seen by audiences across the globe.
