Based in Whangārei, the 100% family owned and operated business takes pride in providing exceptional customer service. A specialist in its ield, Treadway has a wealth of industry knowledge, backed by more than 40 years’ experience as a trusted importer and distributor of trailer components, wheels, rims and tyres. “We are a long-term supply partner, helping our customers’ businesses grow by supporting them to be more e icient and produce better quality products,” says Jordon Bill, General Manager Treadway. “If you need a part for your project or a reliable supply chain partner, give us a call – we are here for your journey.” The Treadway team is proud to supply local trailer manufacturers and exporters, such as Pinto Trailers, with industry leading products like the KNOTT mechanical braking system. Safe and reliable, this European system is ive times faster to it than a hydraulic brake system and removes the need for electronic in-cab controllers. This system represents a step change improvement in trailer braking technology, giving consumers an easier to use trailer and enabling exporters to compete globally. “We’re the sole distributor of this mechanical braking system. We bundle it into kits that include wheels, axles, jockey wheels, coupling, lights and so on. As an engineer, it means you can build your Keeping loads on the road chassis and then order all the running gear from us, and we’ll deliver it all in one go on a pallet. For Pinto, this means they can manufacture high quality trailers quicker, which their customers ind easier to tow and maintain.” Treadway builds quality axles to order that are designed to make the manufacture process faster. Torsion axles by KNOTT are a premium choice if pre-fabrication is preferred. The axle, suspension and hubs are already assembled as one unit, supporting the quick build process. Treadway is proactively improving choice and quality for their customers, having also brought in a range of O The Highway Tyres (for diggers, loaders, forklifts and other vehicles). This opened up a second line of supply to the local market during Covid and has supported our export trade. In response to supply chain pressures over the past few years, Treadway enhanced their quality control processes and shifted supply lines. For example, all their galvanised rims now come from Thailand; the steel is of better quality and the supply is more reliable. At the same time, a signi icant investment in stock and warehousing meant that Treadway was able to help mitigate the impact of market luctuations on their customers.
