INNOVATION
Is a cornerstone of our company - every idea is encouraged to be shared.
REMOTE CONTROLLED MACHINERY
Our commitment to innovation led us to develop the first remote controlled excavators that were used for carrying out complex demolitions in the Port Hills Residential Red Zone.
In a world first, Protranz have created the remote controlled excavator, whose sole purpose was to minimise risk to operatives undertaking works on cliff tops or at the base of cliffs.Â
This technology was also used to great effect in clearing slips following the Kaikoura 2017 earthquake and in the Deans Head land clearance works. Click the photo to get further details.
