DELIVERY PROGRESS

On January 13, 2012 (in blizzard conditions) the first components of the OKUMA VTM-200Yb started arriving. Delivery continued through January 16, with installation beginning January 17th.

JANUARY It's here!

The Okuma VTM arrives on several flatbeds and requires multiple heavy duty towmotors.











		Moving the Okuma off the flatbed and out to the shop required the awe-inspiring expertise of Brooks Rigging. The speed and agility with which Brooks Rigging operated in our shipping bay was impressive. Check back soon for video.

The Okuma fit through our bay door with inches to spare.





An excited Rich St John, patiently waiting...
