Mini Moke the Road Marker

You might have seen this efficient little unit operating in the streets of Nelson. It's virtually a one-man-band and is one of the most compact roadmarking set-ups in the country. With all its attachments the Mini Moke is worth about $4500 but its beauty is that it can be operated by one man. The machine is owned by Permanent Markings, Wanganui, and was in Nelson at the expense of the City Council. The firm is the only one to have the machine in New Zealand.
