Event Information
Description
Experience what it feels like to be hoisted up by one the Ports of Auckland's mighty cranes! Join our Operational Performance Coaches as they talk you through what they do and the importance of safety when working at heights. As you are hoisted up into the air by the crane, you'll get to see that the port's crane drivers have an office view unrivalled by many!
In 2017 we're pleased to let you know that a portion of the funds raised through these experiences will go towards Auckland Land Search and Rescue - a national volunteer organisation providing land and rescue services to the Police and public of New Zealand.
