Alexandra Truck Show 25!
A huge weekend for the team who proudly brought home the “best specialised” category trophy!
We had a great day at the show and it was great to see people’s interest in the gear on show. A big shout out of appreciation to the team who made it happen, Marcus, our operator spent countless hours preparing the Spider excavator, and our drivers Teaghan & Matt, who put in the extra mile to make this day happen for us. We can’t wait for next year and hope to see you all there!
