Built for
Major construction
Multi-trade sites with simultaneous tool, lighting and refrigeration draw. Long-term hire with quiet variable-message-board and tower-light power for night work near homes.
Multi-day festivals
Splore-grade vendor row, full event power, EV-arrival charging on a single chassis. Splits across 6 × 15A and 2 × 32A 3-phase outlets.
Film unit base camp
Silent on-set power for camera, lighting, base-camp catering and crew charging. Fits inside council noise limits where diesel cannot.
Civil-defence response
Marae, community deployments and emergency-response staging. Drops in to a hub with comms, lighting, charging and refrigeration in one trailer.
Compliance & towing
Tier 3 is transport-engineer certified, NZTA-registered as a Class TD trailer, with a current WoF and CoF where applicable. The electrical stack carries an NZ Electrical Safety Certificate. Tier 3 needs a Class 1 with HT endorsement for the braked tandem — confirm tow-vehicle rating before despatch.
