At Carac Group, we take pride in the innovative nature of our product lines, and TrackGrip is no exception. We recently witnessed the remarkable impact of TrackGrip on a job site with steep, muddy slopes that would typically present a significant challenge. However, with TrackGrip, the machinery moved effortlessly, providing operators with a new level of stability and confidence, even in the most demanding terrain. TrackGrip, a product line developed by Carac Group, is not just about machinery; it's about safety, efficiency, and ensuring that the job is done right. With TrackGrip, we enhance stability and ensure you can complete your tasks safely and efficiently. We are thrilled to share more field stories and illustrate how Carac Group's dedication to innovation propelled our products to create a meaningful difference. #CaracGroup #TrackGrip #Innovation #HeavyMachinery #safetyfirst #Forestry #Construction

From Problem-Solver to Pioneer | The Journey of Carac In 1988, John, a former New Zealand motocross champion, faced a common frustration with trailer couplings that just didn’t fit the tow balls. Driven by determination and a passion for machinery, he listed 10 ways to improve the trailer couplings and turned every challenge into an opportunity. The result? The creation of Carac, a company dedicated to delivering innovative, end-to-end manufacturing solutions with a strong focus on safety and quality. Carac's expertise goes beyond trailers, providing comprehensive engineering and manufacturing services across various industries. John’s journey started with a hammer and a crescent wrench, fixing what didn’t work, and now Carac stands as a testament to practical engineering and problem-solving. From building motorbikes as a kid to creating industry-first products, John's spirit of innovation continues to drive us forward. Check out John in his early days, the beginning of Carac’s incredible story. www.carac.nz #CaracJourney #Innovation #EngineeringExcellence #TrailerSolutions #KiwiIngenuity
