Glenbrook Machinery are the leaders in New Zealand for all terrain handling equipment, and in particular dumpers and telehandlers for contractors. An AUSA site dumper offers extensive benefits, particularly to Kiwi contractors who may not have considered site dumpers as a competitive advantage before.

When comparing the hourly operating cost of an AUSA
 site dumper, in comparison to using a road or dump truck, the benefits are obvious. Often loading times can run from hours into days, depending on the type of construction being managed. With an AUSA site dumper, material can be stockpiled and disposed of when convenient.

Add to this the extra mobility and manoeuvrability that a 4WD AUSA dumper offers over that of a truck. The articulated and oscillating chassis keeps the four driving wheels in constant contact with the ground. This allows the dumper to move around difficult sites easily without damaging existing infrastructure, as well as parking closer to off-loading points than a truck can. The safety benefits of a machine built for purpose, with 360° views for the driver will satisfy managers looking to improve work place safety.

The D1000A (New Zealand’s biggest dumper) is a high performance, 4WD 10 ton dumper (6.5m3 capacity) with an articulated chassis, outstanding speed, and rough terrain capability. Two options are available, a swivel dumper, and a front tip dumper. The D1000A features a quality Kubota diesel engine, torque converter transmission, axles with epicyclic wheel reduction and watertight brakes, and safety features include a large size rear counterweight for better stability, excellent all-round visibility, and ergonomic seat and controls.

Need a crane? Need a forklift? Why not have both in one versatile machine? A telehandler has the advantage of offering the extension capabilities of a crane in addition to the mobility and manoeuvrability of a forklift. Glenbrook Machinery’s most popular telehandlers are designed with a small, compact cab to allow the machine to move through doorways and access points so it can operate both inside and outside.

The front mounted cab and rear engine with counter-weight allows the operator excellent visibility and allows heavy loads to be managed safely. Permanent 4WD combined with a good ground clearance allows the telehandler to operate in rough, slippery, and uneven terrain, and a tilting cab ensures easy access for routine maintenance. For even more versatility the front plate with hydraulic quick tach provides an easy and safe interchange of attachments to allow a range of tasks to be handled easily.
