TotalEnergies and McLeod:
Building a Partnership on Performance, Reliability and Service

We are proud to announce our recent partnership with McLeod Cranes Ltd, McLeod Hiabs Ltd and McLeod Transport Ltd (“McLeod”), one of New Zealand’s most respected providers of crane, transport, Hiab and specialist logistics services.

Following a comprehensive evaluation process in 2025, TotalEnergies was awarded the lubricant and oil supply partnership for McLeod.

At TotalEnergies, we understand that businesses operating in demanding environments require more than just quality products. They need dependable technical expertise, responsive support and a supplier committed to helping maximise equipment performance and reliability.

We are delighted that McLeod has chosen TotalEnergies as its lubricant and oil supply partner. We look forward to building a long-term partnership founded on trust, performance, and shared success for years to come.

Get to know McLeod Cranes

McLeod is a proudly family-owned New Zealand business with a rich history and a reputation built on reliability, safety and customer service. Established in 1996, the company has grown from its Bay of Plenty roots into a leading provider of crane hire, Hiab services, transport and drilling rig logistics throughout the North Island. Today, McLeod operates from strategic locations in Mt Maunganui, Hamilton and Taupō, supported by a team of more than 170 dedicated professionals.

For more than three decades, McLeod has earned the trust of customers across construction, infrastructure, industrial, energy and transport sectors by consistently delivering safe, efficient and innovative lifting and logistics solutions. Their commitment to operational excellence, investment in modern equipment and unwavering focus on customer satisfaction have established them as an industry leader throughout New Zealand.

What sets McLeod apart is their dedication to building long-term relationships and their ability to tackle complex projects with professionalism, expertise and a strong safety-first culture. These values closely align with our own approach to supporting customers across New Zealand.

How TotalEnergies are Supporting McLeods

Supporting a fleet as extensive and specialised as McLeod requires more than simply supplying lubricants. With 32 cranes, 50 Hiab trucks and 16 semi-trucks operating across New Zealand, equipment reliability, uptime and performance are critical to the success of the McLeod business.

Backed by our technical expertise, responsive service and nationwide supply capabilities, we work closely with the McLeod team to optimise equipment performance, reduce wear, and ultimately extend the life of their equipment. Through ongoing technical assistance and proactive support, we are proud to help McLeod maximise the reliability and productivity of the equipment their customers depend on every day.

Scott McLeod, Managing Director shares that
“McLeod relies on well-maintained equipment, strong supplier support and practical technical advice to keep our crane, hiab and transport fleet working safely and reliably. TotalEnergies has taken the time to understand our operation and provide product recommendations suited to our equipment and working conditions. We value their responsive service and look forward to building a strong long-term supply partnership.”

The future of our Partnership with McLeods

Partnerships are built on shared values, trust and a commitment to delivering exceptional results. We are excited to be working alongside the McLeod team and supporting a business that has become synonymous with professionalism, safety and operational excellence throughout New Zealand.

As McLeod continues to grow and deliver outstanding lifting, transport and logistics solutions, TotalEnergies is proud to provide the technical support, expertise and premium lubricant solutions needed to help keep their fleet performing at its best.

We thank the McLeod team for the opportunity to support their operations and look forward to building a successful partnership for many years to come.
