Hi everybody, I have not posted anything about Golo for a while but I’ve noticed a lot of views happening every day.
So here’s an update...
Since lockdown forced the Gumboot Friday roadshow to stop in New Plymouth, the trailer was towed back to Auckland and parked up, where it has been parked up since.
I have a lot of confidence with the performance, especially as I towed it all the way to Bluff from Auckland, I learned and confirmed how well it performs on the road, in particular how well the hydraulic suspension handles. Mike King towed it back from Bluff and had the same glowing report.
Now, I’m regathering my thoughts and energy about the trailer and the business around it, the opportunities it opens up and how relevant it is post-covid.
I have been networking to ensure that the chassis and body can be fully manufactured in NZ, systemising and refining the build IP and techniques, securing the premises to manufacture and getting my head sorted.
I have approached the Ministry of Health and DHBs to look at the idea of using the trailers as Rapid Response Units for COVID community testing facilities that can be quickly deployed and set up where they are needed, without any fuss.
That’s just one idea, there’s loads of uses for an easy access, mobile flat platform capable of carrying a decent load and being a mobile billboard.
Thanks for reading, any ideas and offers are welcome, I need help to get going.
Namaste
