Kahu NZ’s innovation ‘TUU’, (Two-in-One) getting closer to certification testing here in NZ for the UH-60 Black Hawk.

Additionally ‘TUU’ aims to provide options for the likes of other helicopter types, (the AS350 helicopter is next in line after the Black Hawk), and for UAV or eVTOL aerial vehicles looking to support fire fighting efforts globally.

Come and meet the team at Verticon 2025 (IMS New Zealand Ltd Stand 11745), to discuss options and innovation.

Some heavy lifting in the Whanganui River and Ruatiti. Great rural areas of heartland New Zealand, with equally great people living there. Moving tracked post rammers, a digger and a bulldozer, across the Whanganui so Mouri Tūroa and their contractors can continue their ‘mahy’.

Thanks very much Hon Brooke Van Velden, (Minister of Workplace Relations and Safety) for your time listening to Tim Barrow, and myself, supported by AIA NZ, and its NZ Helicopter Association senior members, Simon Wallace and Scott McKenzie.

It felt good to convey our personal experiences and our concerns of WorkSafe’, prior to the Whakaari eruption and the events thereafter.

We are hopeful of a major change in culture and a shift to personal interaction with everyday Kiwis, that actually fosters relationships to grow desired outcomes for safe and healthy work environments.

One of our local students going solo. Well done Jase. Tidy

Pete setting the second tube onto the base tube.

Logs and slash coming out of a stream. The Hawks lifting capability allows the removal of large and small woody debris where ever we can get the grapple and longline down into.

Back into it after a re-fuel.

Give us a call if you want a hut, house, caravan, maimai, tiny pub, container home, cabin or anything that might require a heavy lift into any tricky location. We just might be able to crack it for you.

To the log pile.

Swimming Pool install. Needed to say a big thanks to Rick Everett and his team from Auckland District Council and Chris Horner of Omexom. Thanks also to the wonderful neighbours around Seacliffe Rd.

South Island New Zealand, majestically looking magnificent. Our country is everything inspiring when you get out and about and absorb yourself in this environment.
