The first of its kind in NZ - the Powerscreen Trakpactor 480SR impact crusher recently landed at Stevens Group's Auckland facility. Stevens Group distributes Powerscreen's full range of crushing and screening equipment, parts and service in New Zealand.

Powerscreen® Trakpactor 480SR

Product: Impact crusher overview

The Powerscreen® Trakpactor 480SR horizontal shaft impactor is designed for processing soft- to medium-hard primary and secondary materials such as natural rock and construction-derived materials like asphalt, recycling and demolition waste.

In early 2023, Infrastructure Cook Islands (ICI) initiated a search for crushing and screening equipment to support an upcoming project on Manihiki Island, part of the Cook Islands Pa Enua (Outer Islands).

The stunning atoll of Manihiki - 1203 km northwest of Rarotonga - has only been accessible to the most adventurous travellers. Fortunately, it will soon be much easier for visitors to experience Manihiki's pristine beaches with the Cook Islands Government soon beginning a large-scale upgrade to the island's airport runway. The runway upgrade will allow for larger aircraft and more frequent flights, opening up Manihiki and the surrounding northern Cook Islands like never before.

Stevens Group proudly serves as New Zealand’s distributor for Powerscreen equipment, supplying a comprehensive range of world-leading mobile crushing and screening equipment, which includes scalping, incline, and horizontal screeners.

The business has been providing solutions for more than 50 years and, along with their other leading brands, ensures there is comprehensive support for customers by carrying extensive parts in stock and having trained staff available.

Powerscreen’s large portfolio of heavy-duty, high-capacity machines are capable of separating and screening a wide variety of materials in the most difficult and demanding of applications.

In the ever-evolving landscape of recycling and waste management, the need for versatile, efficient, and cost-effective machinery is paramount. Enter the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of shredders; the EvoQuip Caiman 150, compact but packed with the best of shredding technology. Engineered by Terex, this twin shaft, slow-speed shredder has been designed to cater to a diverse array of crushing and shredding applications.

The Caiman 150 is perfectly tailored for small to mid-size demolition contractors, recyclers and waste operators. These businesses often face the challenge of processing a wide range of materials without the budget for multiple, specialised machines.

Last month, Stevens Group had another successful event at New Zealand National Fieldays® in Waikato, the largest agricultural event in the southern hemisphere.

Despite the mix of weather, the 56th annual Fieldays undoubtedly caught the attention of the nation once again in 2024.

A whopping 106,000 visitors passed through the gates at Mystery Creek where they navigated a mix of sun, clouds and rain to see the over 1000 exhibitor sites.

Stevens was back at Fieldays with an offering that’s better than ever. From lawn care & garden care, tree care & arboriculture, forestry & biomass, mining, quarry & aggregates, and recycling, there was an array of machinery on display, a whole heap happening onsite and plenty to talk about.

Decades of experience

Stevens Group has been providing equipment, parts, and aftermarket service for over five decades throughout New Zealand.

Stevens has evolved from a modest garage-based manufacturing and engineering venture into a leading force in the outdoor machinery sector.

With a proud history of importing, manufacturing, and distributing world-class machinery tailored for New Zealand's unique environmental conditions, Stevens’s mission is to perfect acclimatised performance for its clientele. At Stevens Group, sustainability, quality, and market leadership define a journey towards achieving top-tier market penetration globally.

The Terex EvoQuip Colt range of versatile scalping screens offers exceptional high capacity output and accurate separation for screening in various applications: topsoil, compost, wood, bark, green waste, sand, gravel, aggregates, recycling, construction and demolition.

These screens are highly efficient at operating in both heavy duty scalping and precision screening applications. A highly aggressive screen box is at the heart of these screening plants. The ‘G-Force’ acceleration generated by screens in the EvoQuip Colt range enables them to process a wide variety of products with high-capacity production. This includes difficult to screen applications which other machines often struggle to process. Distributed by Mobile Screening & Crushing NZ (MSC), GM Dan Meikle says: “The 6 G-force of acceleration at which the screenbox moves to the top and returns to the bottom of its respective stroke, aids the scalper to achieve very high production’’.

Mobile Screening and Crushing’s recently appointed operations manager, Matt Stone, reveals his recent introduction to the high-performance Terex EvoQuip 290R Impact Crusher and its many benefits to customer operations.

“After a hiatus of 2.5 years, my recent encounter with the Terex Cobra 290R Impact Crusher was a long-awaited moment for someone deeply rooted in the quarry industry. Witnessing this machine in action, after previously only seeing it in static displays, was truly eye-opening. As the big brother to the popular EvoQuip 230R Impactor Crusher, its performance surpassed all expectations, consistently producing high volumes of product with ease. During our site commissioning of the 290R, what struck me most was its straightforward setup process – a testament to its Terex user-centric design tailored for quarry operators. Moreover, seeing the satisfaction of the customers who hired it reaffirmed its value and practicality on the field. My first experience operating the Terex Cobra 290R reignited my excitement for the continual advancement of crushing technology, and its tangible benefits for every level of the quarry industry, from leaders to operators."

Stevens Group is proudly Kiwi owned and operated, and a growing sales, hire and rental company. Stevens takes pride in good service and building strong customer relationships. Not every client knows precisely which machinery would be the better option. The Stevens team talks with customers to work out what equipment will solve their needs. Stevens is a highly regarded and long standing distributor of many leading brands.

Stevens stocks a range of top-notch equipment.

Dan Meikle, GM of Mobile Screening and Crushing (MSC), was in the UK recently to attend the Terex EvoQuip Open Day held at Behans Quarry in Dublin, Ireland. The Open Day was an opportunity for attendees to view an impressive lineup of working screening, crushing and conveying equipment, speak to EvoQuip staff and inspect three brand-new EvoQuip releases up close. After witnessing these machines in action within a working quarry environment, Meikle was profoundly impressed by their capabilities. He explains some of their most innovative and impressive features that are set to significantly enhance customer operations.

For over five decades what has set Stevens apart is the desire to deliver outstanding service and support. In doing so Stevens develops long standing relationships with customers.

Customer care is at the heart of Stevens' offerings and it aims to give them the best possible experience by perfecting products to work optimally in the New Zealand market.
