Bonney's Specialised Bulk TransportBonneys currently boasts around 80 tankers of all shapes and sizes, including four B-Trains and what management loosley refers to as "all sorts of odds and ends" - tankers made for very specific jobs.

Then there are others carrying grapes, wine and milk and still more moving paint resins from Auckland to Wellington.
In addition to the tankers theres probably another 80 trailers, loaders and the like. The variety in the gear shows in the five or six swinglifts, skeletal trailers, flat tops, container-tipping trailers, tippers used for bulk metal, others for scrap and yet another dedicated to "chicken-manure" namely carting it from chicken farms and putting it on farmland.
