Tapper Transport Engineering presents their new tip truck, the Tapper Tipulator. The trucks are shown loading metal at Stevenson’s Quarry.

The film follows owner and driver Keith Livingstone on his job to build the new East Coast Bays Road on the North Shore of Auckland. Every morning a convoy of Tipulators travel through the middle of Auckland and across the harbour by ferry. They ascend Crown Hill into Milford and begin work laying metal on the new road.
