Join the Peddinghaus family of fabricators and friends as they roar down the roads of the south island of New Zealand with 1750 CC of raw American power. From the Pegasus shop in Christchurch and their entire fabrication system, to helicopter rides, mountains tops, jet boats and visiting their friends at John Jones Steel and Chapman Engineering.

At Pegasus, what we both found to be very intriguing was that it was actually really well done with their flow. Very clean. Very simple.

Well, this whole Harley tour with Peddinghaus is bringing together other fabricators who are essentially, could become competitors. We're really not and we are. Not only that, with the comradery between all of us, if I have an overflow of work I'm going to be calling other people and maybe they will be doing that for me also.

The beauty of the Peddinghaus Harley tour is you do develop brilliant relationships with fabricators from all around the world.

The culture at Peddinghaus is on building relationships with suppliers, with their clients, with resellers. I find that my personal body at experience with them has been tremendous as far as their service, sales and warranty. And their break down divisions have been all interacting. They've been very helpful with problem solving straight away. We're having no issues. We're finding that moving forward has been fantastic. They're very proactive in design. Their new machines are amazing and their technology steps are huge.

That's what the visit is all about. That you're out looking to see what others have done. You know what you want to do so you're going to pick ideas, take photographs and you're going to go back home and you're going to maybe redesign your workshop. And try to do it the best you can for the type of product that you want to fabricate.
