TRT (Tidd Ross Todd) is expanding its Hiab division with the appointment of two dedicated sales positions.
Andrew Farrell takes on the North Island while Matthew Tabb is responsible for the South Island.
TRT says it’s a strategic initiative aimed to strengthen its presence in the transport and truck loader crane sectors throughout New Zealand.
Hiab is a global leading brand in on-road load handling equipment. In New Zealand, TRT is the nationwide dealer for the complete stable of Hiab products including Hiab truck cranes and marine cranes, Zepro truck tail lifts, Jonsered, Loglift log cranes and recycling cranes, Multilift Equipment, and Moffett truck-mounted forklifts.
Farrell joined the team this year and brings 17 years of expertise in the New Zealand transport and heavy automotive sectors. He has held various positions in sales, after-sales, and management.
Farrell says he’s excited about the growth prospects the product brings.
“Embracing this new role is an invigorating challenge and I am enthusiastic about making a substantial contribution.”
Meanwhile, Tabb has been part of the TRT team for more than two years.
His journey began in the warehouse, where he quickly advanced to a sales position. Tabb’s enthusiasm for the heavy transport sector drove him to seek a more direct role.
“These machines are incredible, and I am keen to grow the brand here in New Zealand.
“Selling my first crane was a significant milestone, as it validated all the time and effort I invested in this role and the product itself,” Tabb says.
TRT says its national service dealer network is fully equipped to assist customers by providing the most up-to-date software, training, and diagnostic tools for addressing crane-related problems.
Its Hiab service agents can install, service, and repair the range of Hiab lifting and transport solutions and are all factory-trained specialists. Parts and attachments are available from all TRT locations.
TRT capital whole goods general manager Glen Harnett says the restructuring of the Hiab division is about supporting the heavy transport and lifting industry with cutting-edge solutions.
“The Hiab brand has held a respected position in New Zealand for many years, and our commitment is to propel it even further.
“We have a remarkable team and an outstanding product,” Harnett says.
