Ravensdown purchased Wanganui Aero Work (WAW) in 2004, a company which specialises in all aspects of aerial applications such as fertiliser spreading and agriculture spraying.
WAW operate fixed wing aircraft across much of the North Island and the upper South Island. These fixed wing aircraft are primarily Cresco aircraft which have the ability to carry up to 2000kg loads and have outstanding climbing performance, perfect for spreading fertilisers.
All our spreaders are calibrated and spreadmark certified as to their swath and evenness of spread so you'll be sure that your fertiliser will not be wasted.
WAW have four helicopters which operate in the King Country/Taihape/Wanganui region. These aircraft predominantly complete aerial spraying with some fertiliser spreading and other general lifting and sightseeing work.
All fixed wing aircraft and helicopters use GPS for guidance and offer full proof of placement maps for spreading and spray applications.
