PERFORMANCE FROM THE GROUND UP

In New Zealand (and in Australia through Waco Kwikform), APL Kwikform is recognised as a leading supplier of scaffolding and falsework to both construction and industry supplying some of the largest commercial and residential construction, mining and petrochemical, civil engineering and entertainment projects.

Products and Services

APL Kwikform manufactures, hires and sells a range of scaffold and falsework products that include some of the industries best known brand names such as Kwikstage and Wedgelok; and has the people and equipment capable of providing scaffold and falsework solutions that embody service and quality from the ground up.

To achieve this APL Kwikform has a highly effective operations and stock control system supported by an inventory of over 6 million items through its association with Waco Kwikform in Australia. This gives us the capacity not only to handle the largest projects but many individual projects at the same time.

Design and Technical Support

Behind the scenes APL Kwikform has the capacity to provide safe and practical scaffold design, high quality equipment and first class technical support to the largest of projects.

We use state of the art CAD software to design scaffold structures that always meet and constantly exceed regulatory standards. Where an unusual project calls for a solution that falls outside our standard product range we have the ability to design and manufacture the equipment required “in-house” ensuring continuity of design and manufacturing standards.

APL Kwikform works closely with the department of Labour (OHS) and ensures its operations conform to the Best Practice Guidelines.

Commitment to Quality and Safety

Our commitment to quality and safety is reflected in the way we operate our branches and the stringent quality controls and performance standards we impose on our products.

APL Kwikform’s procedures are accredited to Quality Standard AS/NZS ISO 9001-2000, and the way we do business is regularly and independently audited by NCS International (NATA) to ensure a consistent high standard. At APL Kwikform we believe quality assurance is more than an accreditation it is an integral part of everything we do, not just in manufacturing but in design, estimating, supply of the product and technical support at every stage of the project.

APL Kwikform operates in many diverse industries each with its unique OH&S requirements. We are committed to managing our activities having regard to the health and safety of our employees and the people that rely on our products.
