Luke Heesterman this year’s Isuzu Trucks I1-GP national technical skills

On September 10, CablePrice’s Wellington branch entered 4 technicians in this year’s Isuzu Trucks I1-GP national technical skills competition taking out 4 of the 5 top spots including Luke Heesterman coming first place!

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, this year’s competition was held in a new format. All competition tasks had to be completed remotely at dealerships and the contestants were supervised by their Service Managers. This year saw 11 contestants from two dealerships. CablePrice Wellington had 4 participants while CAL Isuzu Hamilton had 7 participants.

The competition consisted of two parts – Theory Exam and Practical Scenarios. During the Theory Exam each contestant had to answer 25 general mechanical knowledge questions in no longer than 75 minutes. Exam questions were borrowed from past years worldwide I1-GP Tournaments. This gave the Contestants a taste of language used by Japan and the level of knowledge expected to be seen by Isuzu Motors Limited.

For the practical part, contestants had to troubleshoot two real breakdown situations seen in New Zealand earlier this year. For the first scenario, it was necessary to troubleshoot a DPD (Diesel Particulate Diffuser) fault, and for the second they had to identify a faulty component in an electrical system. Contestants had not only to identify the malfunctioning component, but also explain the mechanism of the failure and describe how the faulty part affects the operation of other systems in the truck. Luke scored top points from the practical section, while Paul Everson from CAL Isuzu Hamilton, was the best in the theory exam.

“CablePrice Wellington has a strong record with 3 technicians attending the world finals over the past 5 years, including Luke attending the 2017 world finals. Now he’s back again to give the 2020 Isuzu I1-GP e-Competition a shot” Says Matthew Dittmer, CablePrice Wellington Branch Manager

Luke and Paul will make a strong team, which will be representing New Zealand in the international final of the I1-GP e-Competition against 86 participants from 43 countries.

The New Zealand team will travel to the Isuzu NZ Auckland Training Centre in November and will be completing tasks online while they are live streamed to Japan.

A big thank you to David Brown and the team at Timberwolf Logging, who have recently taken delivery of a new Tigercat 632H Skidder for their Taupō operation.
It didn`t take long for operator Jake to put the 632H through its paces, and his first impressions were extremely positive. Jake was particularly impressed with the machine`s increased arch power and overall performance, along with the intuitive controls that put everything within easy reach.
Tigercat continues to set the benchmark in the skidder market, delivering the power, productivity, and operator comfort that logging contractors rely on.

South Waikato’s Central Coast Harvesting recently took delivery of a new Tigercat LS857 purpose-built Feller Buncher for their harvesting operations.
The Tigercat LS857 is designed with safe steep-slope operations in mind thanks to key features like its extreme-duty levelling system providing increased stability, even ground pressure at all angles and combined with its sloping tail, providing for increased clearance for rope when operation in tight spaces all giving the operator piece of mind on any slop.
Big thanks to Blair and Danny of Central Coast Harvesting for choosing CablePrice and Tigercat.
