Hi-Quality Heavy Haulage has taken delivery of a new Drake 4×4 Full Widener and 2×4 dolly following a period of significant growth and its recent expansion into Central Queensland.
The new Full Widener features a deck length of 13 metres with three-metre ramps, multi-position ramp props and light boards.
Its specs include a hydraulic neck which is used for self-loading suitable freight, drop deck which reduces overall travel height for higher loads, hydraulic suspension, auto greasing system for less maintenance, 3-way container pins and more.
Hi-Quality General Manager, Mitchell Gregory, told Trailer the Full Widener was designed in line with a tried and tested spec which has proven to be very successful.
“This is our second brand-new Full Widener which is identical to a unit we purchased four years ago,” he said.
“Its most important features are a drop deck which helps reduce height when carrying higher cargo and a hydraulic neck which makes hooking up vehicles and adjusting load height much easier.
“It’s a fairly standard spec, but it works very well for us.”
Hi-Quality services a range of sectors including mining, earth moving, oil and gas, renewable energy, engineering, heavy manufacturing, civil construction and infrastructure.
The Full Widener has become an extremely versatile asset to these industries – having been deployed in operations Australia-wide.
“This is a trailer we heavily rely on because it’s one we can trust,” Gregory told Trailer.
“It has a 46-tonne payload and it will move whatever falls within that criteria.
“We just used it to transport a Caterpillar scraper from Queensland down to southern Victoria, and it’s been up to Cairns with a 25-tonne generator on it as well. It isn’t restricted to any specific state.”
Hi-Quality Heavy Haulage has undergone significant growth over the last five years.
The business is now operating across three sites in Mackay, Brisbane and Port Kembla with a fleet of 20 trucks.
