Heavy Hitting 909

Together with a team of dedicated staff they provide property developers, homeowners and housing companies with a comprehensive range of expert civil works and housing site development.

The new rig can be seen towing either three rows of eight low loader or a triaxle tipulator bathtub trailer around the Wellington area.
