“Ever since Transvisual (… the Royans Group) was established in Wiri, we have been using their team to paint or repaint our fleet vehicles.

From smaller jobs like adding truck cab stripe work, or touching up chassis steelwork, up to full cab and chassis strip down and repainting on several of our refurbishment projects, nothing has been beyond the abilities of the team at Royans.….  We were able to take advantage of the newly formed graphics department and utilise the one-stop shop ability to our advantage, undertaking a full cab repaint and graphic application to a refurbished 2008 K108 Kenworth.

This was the first of many subsequent vehicles to receive the full treatment …

Logan and the team at Royans are great to work with, and are always happy to help organise, plan, and undertake the next fleet imaging project for Jackson Roadhaul.”
