We hope everyone’s enjoying the long weekend ☀️

Here are a few snaps of what the team’s been up to over the past week.

On Friday, we transported a 12-tonne vessel measuring 4m wide and 5.3m high, safely moved under permit.

If you’ve got a job coming up that needs the right gear and planning, we’re here to help.

That’s us wrapping up the financial year - just want to say a big thanks to everyone who’s supported us along the way.

It’s been a solid year of growth for us, and we’re looking forward to plenty more to come.

Big shoutout to the crew - Neil, Tony and Zeb - we appreciate the hard work as always.

Keep your eyes peeled for our gear out and about around Hawke’s Bay 👀

Cheers for being part of it!

We’ve added a Kenworth T904 to the fleet, paired with our spreading 3 rows of 4 trailer — good for up to a 30 tonne payload.

Basically… if it’s big, awkward, or someone else said “nah”, we’re keen.

Whether it’s overdimension transport or tricky heavy moves, we’ve got the gear and the team - including in-house pilots to keep everything running smoothly from start to finish.

Now for the important stuff… what are we naming it?

A big shout out to Adam and the team at Lattey Group for trusting us with this complex lift.

For this project we had the GMK5100 in full trim teamed up with the MR250, getting the job done safely and efficiently.

You’ll spot us back on Hardinge Road tomorrow working alongside the Lattey team again, so keep an eye out for the cranes in action.

Also… what do you think of the new sign writing on the GMK5100?👀

Together with Rocket Scaffolding we have set the stage for the Kingston Calling ft UB40 concert tonight.

If you’re heading out tonight, enjoy the show!

Our franna crane doing what frannas do best 💪
A challenging job tackled head-on by T.C, Zeb and Dan.
