"The last of the Pacifics" (2002 - 22 years ago) 12 minute short  film on the last of the NZ off highway Pacific trucks. The truck 'Double Trouble' was probably around 14 years old at the time of filming.

The film also has the notorious Halla excavator conversion log loaders.

The Kenworth offroad trucks that are close to new at the time.

The Wagner log loaders.

A rare Peterbilt in NZ (9 minutes in). Looks to be a right-hand steer conversion.

This came up on the local FB page as a "cutting to order" sale. Redwood of course, but not anything "old growth". Maybe 100-150 year old ?

Log trucks crash, a miracle no one is hurt. The Camera car(A) is following a loaded saw logs truck.On the other side of the road, a self loader crane truck with what appears to be pulpwood, loses the loaded trailer. The loose pulpwood trailer smashes the sawlog trailer, damaged tires and parts of rims are scattered. The pulpwood trailer turns on its side. A car(B) following behind the camera car(A) gets damaged by pulpwood. I don't know what the police crash unit will say about the pulpwood truck driver using the truck crane to start the cleanup before the police arrive. Obviously, a bad outcome for the sawlog (green) truck driver and car(B) driver, getting caught by the other truck's problem. The blue entrance is to a school, fortunately school is still out for summer.
