TRN Group’s repeat order for a Swingwing

Civil engineering and haulage company, TRN Group is another one of our customers who share our commitment to customer service and quality high-spec equipment. With its head office located 60km south of Sydney, TRN Group specialises in equipment hire, earthmoving, quarrying and haulage. This isn’t the first time we’ve delivered a Swingwing for TRN Group.

But this recent delivery was for the largest of our Swingwing configurations, the 120 tonne capacity 5X8 Swingwing, featuring:

  • Stainless steel hydraulic tubing
  • Hydraulic controlled ramps
  • 5.5hp pull start hydraulic power pack
  • Drop legs
