Shhhh! It's night time at the Port of Auckland and Axis Intermodal's Fergusson and Beldsoe container terminal and truck parking grids. And they won't thank you if you wake anyone up who's having a well-deserved snooze. Either but (quietly) for a pie, identify these trucks more me--and especially the one at the front..now that IS a tough pie quiz!
And this is impossible isn't it? Anyway I can't recommend the Axis Intermodal website enough. Not only does it have four great webcams it's full of interesting facts and a great way for shippers to track the progress of their boxes. The truck turnaround times at Axis are certainly impressive too--not least when compared with some UK ports I won't mention http://www.axis-intermodal.co.nz/About/About.aspx Meannwhiel click through here for a couple of daylight shots I captured last night....
Here's a busy bunch at Beldsoe Grid...so what are they?
If you can tell me what this is you;re a real Biglorryblog anorak---and the recipient of a pie too! Nice Swinglifter by the way too.....

Brian-the nice people in white coats will be round to see you soon, they have a special place for people like you................
That last photo's an Argosy quad tractor isn't it? Have to say I'm a fan of those NZ quad quad trucks - a lot of presence on the road.
Just a point, Brian, the 2 container terminals on this site are Fergusson and Bledisloe (not Beldsoe). Naturally enough, Bledisloe Terminal is always referred to by drivers as Bloody Slow.
