Bad weather was our gain — what a truly magnificent and iconic Australian landscape you were able to capture. Goosebump stuff! Thanks to the team at Plant Haul Pty Ltd for showcasing our Drake Trailers out there in the great southern land. This is Australia.
Epic footage captured by our team just after being loaded in the Australian outback with these 32 tonne excavator tracks and were advised to leave due to the incoming storm. Our drivers Ben & Jeff could have been stuck for days if there was a downpour at the mine site. What a way to capture this great southern land 🇦🇺⛈️🫶🏼 #thedrakegroup #volvotrucksaustralia #outbackaustralia #heavyhaulage #planthaulheavyhaulage

We recently welcomed the team from BlastOne International to Drake HQ, where they caught up with our Paint Operations Manager, Daniel Neilson, to discuss why we choose GMA Garnet for our blasting process. Using GMA Garnet has made a real difference in our production—saving time and costs while delivering an exceptional finish. Our team has also noticed a significant reduction in dust, improving workplace conditions and making it a product they genuinely enjoy using. The quality speaks for itself and we’re proud to use a solution that enhances both efficiency and safety. Check out the video to hear more! 🎥👇 #TheDrakeGroup #BlastOne #GMAGarnet #QualityFinish
Drake Trailers halved their production time using GMA Garnet
