Scania has been providing Taranaki-based Symons Group with Scania rigs since the early 80s.

What makes Scania their truck of choice? It’s the ability to customise their trucks so they can be used as a tractor unit for part of the year, then converted in just a few hours to a rigid unit towing a pull trailer. For the business, this means keeping wheels on the road rather than parked up unused.

Driver comfort is important too. In owner JR’s own words, “a wheelbarrow’s about as good as the guy pushing it, and if that guy pushing the wheelbarrow isn’t happy, the job doesn’t get done.” We couldn’t agree more.
