Customer Projects
Nairn Harvesters Ltd
When Hyspecs was approached by the production manager at
Nairn Harvesters Ltd to offer a drive system for their latest grape
harvester there were 2 key criteria they stressed to us: delivery
needed to be short as the customer had requested delivery of the
completed machine in under 2 months, and the system needed to work
well right from the start (there was no time for trial and
error).
Machine Requirements:
• 4-wheel drive system with anti-skid
• Harvesting at a speed of 6km/hr on a gradient of up to
30%
• The machine would be able to climb a gradient of nearly
33%
• Under ideal harvesting conditions it is capable of removing up
to 28,000kg of grapes off the vine per hour
• Top road speed of 32km/h (could be 39 km/h with a different
gearbox/pump arrangement)

Austral Leader 2 Fishing Vessel Conversion
The Hyspecs service team was involved in the
complete conversion of the fishing vessel, Austral Leader 2 from a
purse seiner net fisher to a long liner. The job, in summary, was
the refitting of a vessel to a line hauler and pot hauler for the
Patagonian tooth fish for which our customer fishes in the South
Atlantic.
It involved several stages and over 1500 hours work by our
service technicians over the course of around 8 weeks. Not only
were we providing new equipment but also had to utilise existing
hydraulic components.
