Delivery Day ➡️ Straight Into Heavy Haulage! 💪 Quite a day at the shops for Aussie from Corbet's Group! The day kicked off at Drake HQ, taking delivery of a brand-new Drake 5x8 Swingwide Extendable and 2x8 Dolly, before heading over to CJD Equipment to collect their 100th Volvo Dump Truck. 👌 Built for serious heavy haulage, this Swingwide is every bit the beast - widening from 2.7m out to 4.6m, equipped with a hydraulic gooseneck, 3.05m ramps with pneumatic chain tensioners, and finished off with a set of chrome alloy wheels to add a little shine to the hard work ahead. ✨ Even better, Aussie made the trip himself to collect the gear 🤩 Thanks again to Aussie and Corbet's Group for choosing Drake. 🙌 🎥 @Corbets Group #DrakeTrailers #HeavyHaulage #Swingwide #BuiltToPerform #AustralianMade #CorbetsGroup #DrakeGroup #WideLoad

Haulwise by name. Wise by choice. ✅ Haulwise Pty Ltd has added a Drake 4x4 Deck Widener to their fleet - built for the kind of work where loads change and adaptability matters. The Deckie gives them the flexibility to expand when the load demands it, plus self-tracking axles for easier manoeuvrability and reduced tyre wear - a setup built to handle anything. 💪 And let’s be honest… those gangsta black powder coated wheels don’t hurt either. 😎 Thanks for choosing Drake, Haulwise! 🤝 #DrakeTrailers #DeckWidener #HeavyHaulage #BuiltForTheJob #Haulwise #TransportAustralia #WideLoads
