Welcome to the Pronto team, Aaron! ππ§
Aaron just joined the workshop team here at Pronto. He came looking for a change and landed somewhere that suits him well - hands-on work, machinery, and a knowledgeable team.
Outside the workshop, you'll find Aaron out with his mates; four wheel driving, camping, barbecuing, and working on their four wheel drives.
That same curiosity is what brought him here. He's keen to get into it, learn about machines, and build his skills as a mechanic.
Great to have you on board, Aaron π―

Getting material out of a tight spot is one of those jobs that slows everything down π
You can't swing a bigger dumper around. The skip won't reach. So you're shovelling by hand, using a wheelbarrow, or shuffling the machine back and forth just to tip in the right spot. Just burning time you don't have.
The swivel skip on this 1.5T NC site dumper fixes that. It rotates left or right from where you're sitting, so you tip exactly where you need to without moving the machine. Job keeps moving.
It's compact enough to get into spots a standard dumper won't touch, and the hydrostatic drive means smooth, controlled movement on rough or uneven ground.
Brand new in the fleet π and ready to go!
Perfect for:
π Residential builds and house cuts with tight access
π³οΈ Basement pours and confined excavations
π§ Drainage and trenching where space is limited
π§± Any job where you're shifting material but can't reposition constantly

π·Did we catch you in these shots? Maybe mid-bite on a Pronto burger or holding a warm coffee βπ
We didn't? Afraid we missed you this time, you'll have to come along next year!
Just reflecting on our Warkworth Trade BBQ we had at the start of the month and what a day it was. Good feed, good people, and plenty of good chats.
Thanks to everyone who came, it means a lot and we'll see you at the next one π

PRONTO PICK #10 IS HERE! π
This time, Transport Manager Wayne breaks down why the 14T Wheeled Excavator is the machine he backs for any contractor working on sealed surfaces, active urban sites, or industrial yards π·
Rubber tyres on a mid-sized digger sounds simple. But on the right job it means no surface damage, faster repositioning along a corridor, and one machine that can run a breaker, grab, or auger in the same shift.
Click the link in our comments below π if you are a:
π§ Road or utility crew working along sealed streets or closed corridors
ποΈ Urban contractor where protecting the finished surface is non-negotiable
π Industrial or yard operator who needs digging power without the mess
π¨ Demolition crew breaking, loading, and sorting in the same day
The 14T Wheeled Excavator will protect your surfaces, cut downtime between locations, and keep your job running without the reinstatement headache.

Some jobs just won't fit a standard machine. The bank is too high, the edge is too far, and repositioning every few minutes costs time you don't have.
For jobs like this, our Doosan 20 Ton excavator fitted with an 18 metre long reach arm from Bedrock Machinery is the perfect fit π¦Ύ
Here's why we run Bedrock:
π© Robotic welding with full weld testing on every unit
π Computerized stress analysis to optimise the structure under real load
π’οΈ Precision steel pipes for smooth hydraulic flow and less oil circuit wear
β
CE marked and sandblasted finish
Got a job that needs reach beyond what a standard machine can handle? Get in touch and we'll sort it π
