See an Arborist Unit Come To Life…

Here’s a new build coming to life! 

We’ve designed and built this specialist unit for global arborist client Asplundh, with 5 additional units for the company being completed by Waimea.  

Take a look inside our engineering workshop where these impressive machines are constructed from scratch and finished to perfection.  Many years of experience has provided us the knowledge required to design and build these turn key units that are compliant, reliable and fit for purpose.   

This build is everything an arborist needs in one smart package: This Versalift VO255 Over-Centre booms fits well on the Hino 500 6×4 and offers ample payload in the chip bin and all the on-board storage you need. Everything has a home including hydraulic pole saws, fuel and oil storage, climbing gear and of course chainsaws, not to mention fold down vise, compressed air outlets, and a hand wash station.
