📍 Whether your project is in Napier, Hastings, or anywhere across Hawke's Bay, we've got you covered.

The team has been keeping busy lately, and last week we completed a 28-tonne transformer lift within a live substation.

The project involved relocating the transformer to a new position before safely reinstating it. Thanks to careful planning, the right equipment, and an experienced crew, the lift was completed safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.

It's another great example of how the right preparation and the right team make all the difference.

A big thanks to everyone involved for another successful job! 👏

🚂 A wee derailment at Splash Planet this morning had our team on the job!

With the train needing to be relocated further down the tracks, our Franna crane was the perfect machine for the task, showcasing its impressive pick-and-carry capabilities.

A great example of using the right equipment for the job, completed safely and efficiently by the team. 👏
