Nothing says winter is coming quite like throwing the chains on the loader to get it ready for the upcoming snow season! ❄️

A solid workout for the mechanic's with plenty of chain wrestling and one WA380 nearly ready to head up the hill and tackle another busy winter.

You guessed it! The newest member of the Base Contracting fleet is the Scania R620. 🔥

620 horses. Twin turbo V8. Torque for days. This rig doesn’t just move—it dominates.

Cab so comfy you might forget it’s “work,” smart tech everywhere, and suspension that makes every load feel like a Sunday cruise.

Ray’s just along for the ride… lucky bu**er.
