About to move a transportable into a hard to get to location. You can see in the foreground our lifting frame that locates above the structure (when lifted by the heli) which ensures the strops don't pull in and crush or damage the building whilst transporting it to site.

Last of the trees from Valley Rd Whakatane, now removed.

Thanks Whakatane residents for your patience and support.

The contractors, Council and ourselves had a difficult job within the bounds of restrictions, conditions and other requirements to ensure all the trees were removed professionally.

Thanks Phelan Logging 13, Rob, Ash and Oak Arborists and Kevin Hogg (Whakatane District Council) for gluing this job together.

Kahu NZ’s innovation ‘TUU’, (Two-in-One) getting closer to certification testing here in NZ for the UH-60 Black Hawk.

Additionally ‘TUU’ aims to provide options for the likes of other helicopter types, (the AS350 helicopter is next in line after the Black Hawk), and for UAV or eVTOL aerial vehicles looking to support fire fighting efforts globally.

Come and meet the team at Verticon 2025 (IMS New Zealand Ltd Stand 11745), to discuss options and innovation.

Some heavy lifting in the Whanganui River and Ruatiti. Great rural areas of heartland New Zealand, with equally great people living there. Moving tracked post rammers, a digger and a bulldozer, across the Whanganui so Mouri Tūroa and their contractors can continue their ‘mahy’.
