At Palfinger New Zealand, we are proud to announce the delivery of the Palfinger T22 SLD3 hookloader to Tararua District Council. In collaboration with TR Group and Entire Engineering, this bespoke solution exemplifies our commitment to quality, reliability, and exceptional service.
Tararua District Council is set to benefit from the robust performance of the Palfinger T22 SLD3 hookloader – a key addition to its fleet that underscores our dedication to delivering dependable solutions. Guided by our North Island Sales Manager, Michael Bird,, and with the expert insight of TR Group, the council’s requirements were met with a machine designed for demanding operational needs and backed by the renowned Palfinger after-sales support. Extensive collaboration was at the heart of this project. Our teams, alongside partners Fuso, Entire Engineering, and TR Group, held thorough discussions to ensure every detail was finely tuned. As Scott Penny, Build Manager at TR Group, stated, “We had a great team of contributors with open minds, which has resulted in the final product.”
A Partnership Built on Trust and Collaboration
The journey began with in-depth assessments of the council’s operational needs. Every stakeholder contributed valuable expertise, ensuring that the hookloader was not only “fit for purpose” but also primed for long-term performance and safety. This collaborative process—from initial consultations to the final build—has set a new benchmark for quality.
Enhancing Public Service Operations
Jo Neilson, Solid Waste Manager at Tararua District Council, said “This new build was designed to support key municipal services and will play a vital role in Tararua’s drop-off bins for recycling, as well as our Transfer Station Refuse Loads to Landfill.”
Further insight into the project reveals why the T22 was the ideal choice. TR Group highlighted that “The Palfinger brand is synonymous with quality and after sales backup,” a key factor in their decision-making process. The extensive behind‑the‑scenes work —with regular meetings involving Fuso and Entire Engineering— ensured that the hookloader was meticulously tailored to the council’s operational requirements.
From Tararua District Council’s perspective, this is a strategic milestone. As their first addition since transitioning these services in‑house, the council is confident that the T22 will deliver “stress‑free operations for a very long time” a sentiment that reflects both Palfinger’s robust performance and industry reputation for reliability.
