Turners Truck & Machinery Show 2019
The Turners Truck and Machinery Show 2019 was held at the Pukekohe Park at the end of last year. The Ed and his team were there to capture the event.
Last month the Deals on Wheels team gave us a full report on the 2019 Turners Truck and Machinery Show held at Pukekohe Park. This month, we feature some more shots of the outstanding calibre of heavy trucks on display.
There was the usual array of stunning late model and restored gear with shiny chrome and paintwork, however, what really stood out for me was a line-up of nine classic International T-Lines, most of which were in original condition and also in regular work.
What made it even more impressive was that they were all from market gardeners in the Pukekohe/Tuakau area – from the area the show was being held. Standing in the middle of this line up of T-lines, you could be forgiven for thinking you were in a time warp from 30 years ago, which was simply superb.
Arguably the biggest award of the day was the People’s Choice, and this year, the winner was Josh Hart with his Western Star tipper. The bright pink truck carries a ‘Stand Together and Stop Bullying’ theme inspired by the annual pink shirt day, which is now celebrated around the globe as a stand against bullying.
As previously reported, the forecasted bad weather stayed away for show and the day was as successful as the efforts from previous years with indications looking good for another huge event and spectacle again in 2020.
