Looking resplendent at sunrise

HT Transport in Opotiki recently took delivery of this stunning-looking log combination. The Mills-Tui log truck set-up and F135 5-axle multicombination trailer sets off the whole unit. It’s a well speced unit with a Hendrickson TIREMAAX tyre pressure control system, an addition that’s quickly becoming a staple. The high-tensile chassis and bolster mean the trailer imposes little burden at a mere 5700kg. Features: Hendrickson INTRAAX disc-brake axles, Hendrickson TIREMAAX, Knorr-Bremse EBS.

Mills-Tui

No getting lost in the woods

Keenan Forestry’s new Kenworth and Patchell Industries log truck and trailer combo is one of the most striking you’ll ever see. The truck is kitted out with double foldover bolsters and pulls an EVO4 I-Beam lowheight 5-axle billet trailer. SI-Lodec scales keep the ‘long arm’ happy, and the whole unit glides along on Alcoa Dura-Bright alloy wheels. Features: (Trailer) Hendrickson INTRAAX axles and suspension, WABCO braking system.

Bellissimo!

Looking superb with its Craigpine graphics, this fantastic new curtain-side truck body and 5-axle curtain-side trailer combination has recently left TMC’s Christchurch factory for a life in the deep south. McNeil Distribution will run the Iveco led combination in its Tulloch Transport operation. The trailer was built to accommodate timber packs, with a clear internal measure of 12,050mm and, at a slender 7110kg tare. It won’t be signing up for Weight Watchers anytime soon. Features: 19.5” SAF disc brake axles and air suspension. Alux polished alloy wheels.
