OTS Group started as Onehunga Towing Services in 1969 with one truck and a phone. Today we run 55 transporters from Auckland and Christchurch, moving everything from family cars to 25-tonne excavators, and we are still family-owned.
Established in 1969, OTS Group has grown from a single Onehunga tow truck into one of New Zealand’s most experienced vehicle and machinery transport operators. Our family-owned roots ground us in integrity and reliability, and they have shaped every expansion: a Christchurch base to serve the South Island, OTS Norwest in Henderson for faster West Auckland response, a heavy machinery division, secure storage yards and the country’s first radio-controlled TowTrack recovery machines.
Through every decade we have invested in the fleet and the technology behind it, from GPS-tracked trucks to the OTS Online portal built with Fujitsu New Zealand, so that customers always know where their vehicle is.
Deliver transport that is safe, efficient and easy to deal with. We are driven by professionalism, safety and customer-first service, and we believe in continuous improvement, ethical practice and giving back to the communities we work in, including proudly employing Fire and Emergency New Zealand volunteers.
Our drivers, operators and support staff are our greatest asset. Every operator is trained and endorsed for the work they do, from Class 2 tilt trays to Class 5 heavy haulage with W, T, R and F endorsements, and our dispatch team has decades of combined experience keeping Auckland and Canterbury moving.
Consistent, high-quality service across a complete range of towing, transport and storage solutions. The ability to tailor services for dealerships, insurers, fleets and contractors. A track record of reliability that has kept customers with us for generations. We are not just a service provider, we are a partner in getting the job done.
We are investing in EV-safe recovery equipment, tracked machines for terrain a truck cannot reach, sustainability across the fleet and better digital tools for our business customers. The goal stays the same as it was in 1969: move it safely, on time, and treat people well.
Over 50 years of towing and transport experience, still run by the same family with the same standards.
Hydraulic tilt trays, multi-car transporters, low loaders and radio-controlled TowTrack machines, maintained in-house.
