New EWP gets Ship Repairs off the ground

Sometimes getting off the ground to get to the high jobs entails risks we’d rather not put our people through, so Heron Ship Repair has recently purchased a new 28 metre SkyJack EWP (elevated work platform). This very practical piece of modern equipment allows our blasters and painters to get securely up to those mid-air tasks, and do them safely without the time lag incurred by having to set up scaffolding.

Our Skyjack SJ86T is an axle-based 4WD system with a telescopic boom and 360° continuous turret rotation. It’s driveable at full extension with a work height of 28.21m and platform height of 26.21m, and has a horizontal reach of 23.2m. We’re very pleased with this addition to our equipment range, and our clients will be pleased with the time=cost savings.

Deep Water Port

Located in the calm, sheltered waters of Whangarei Harbour – we are one of only four deep water ports in New Zealand. We have a large slipway for vessels up to 1800 tonne which often handles two ships at once, as well as a second 40 tonne slipway for smaller vessels.

Sheltered Harbour

Facilities onsite include showers & toilets for crew, a fully equipped office with internet access, and easy access to Whangarei CBD. We can arrange rental vehicles, accommodation, sort out crew visas and permits and look after you during your time ashore.

Full Project Management

As well as our team of specialist marine fabricators, heavy engineers, fitters and electricians, we work with our trusted specialist tradespeople and suppliers, or yours, to complete your ship repair project on time and within budget.
