Tandem lift sends Auckland ferry pontoon on its way

Our team is proud to have played an important role in the development of the new ferry terminal in central Auckland.

Nine modules for the terminal’s pontoon were built locally by Ruakaka-based SPIIND Industrial Engineers at its facility on Marsden Point Road. These were all put into the water at Northport and towed by tug to Auckland.

The heavy modules were lifted by our two mobile harbour cranes which, between them, can manage loads of 225 tonnes. We conducted six tandem lifts over an 18-month period.
