More than able in the Tasman Takaka-based Sollys Freight has commissioned this slick sixaxle B-train curtainside trailer set, built by that icon of Kiwi industry and enterprise in Christchurch, TMC. The 36-pallet unit looks sharp in the green and white livery of its new owner, a well-respected and longstanding family-owned transport brand. With toolboxes on both units and an east-west underchassis dunnage rack, she’s ready for anything.
Features: Hendrickson 19.5 disc-brake axles and ZMD shockless air suspension. TMC Stainless-steel light panels and toolbox doors, additional marker lights and polished alloy wheels ensure the pride and effort of generations now and in the past is not let down in the final presentation.
Hard, wide, and handsome There’s not much a Hino 500 Series wide cab doesn’t look good under, and there aren’t many trucks Mills-Tui bodies don’t look great on. So, combine the two, and you have groovy in spades! Built for Delta Contracting in Opotiki, this 500 ‘Widey’ sports a Mills-Tui tip body in Hardox steel and a double swinging tail-door, so coping with the rigours of site work won’t be a problem. A 50mm coupling at the back also increases versatility within the fleet. It’s always the details that make a difference, and life easy, like the neat pull-out and drop-down access ladder
Features: Mills-Tui Hardox steel body, two-way tailgate. Mills-Tui Mills-Tui built into the body. Oh, and let’s not forget pride and finish, with polished alloy wheels, polished hydraulic tank caver and Peterson lighting.
