HOW THE CORMIDI C85 SELF LOADING TRACKED DUMPER BOOSTS EFFICIENCY FOR INNOFLOW
As Jacob, one of the project drain layers at Innoflow, puts it: "Services impeccable, products are impeccable."
When you're installing wastewater systems on tight residential and commercial sites across New Zealand, moving material efficiently without wrecking the site around you matters just as much as the install itself. For Innoflow, switching from wheelbarrows to the Cormidi C85 Self Loading Tracked Dumper changed how their crews move material day to day.
Who Is Innoflow?
Innoflow Technologies NZ Limited has been designing, building, and operating on-site wastewater treatment systems for 30 years, using their AdvanTex system across residential, commercial, and community projects throughout New Zealand. Their work spans everything from single dwellings and subdivisions to schools, marae, tourism sites, and commercial developments, with installation carried out by drain laying teams like Jacob's on the ground.
Innoflow's Challenge: Moving Material Without Wearing Out the Crew
Before hiring the Cormidi C85 Self Loading Tracked Dumper, Jacob's options were limited. Bring in a full sized digger, which risked damage to concrete and sidewalks on tighter sites, or load wheelbarrows by hand and run them back and forth.
Jacob says the manual option took a real toll on the crew. Shovelling material into wheelbarrows for eight hours a day was hard on the guys and hard on morale.
"The only other option to it is getting a digger out here, or just a shovel and loading our barrows and running them. And obviously it hurts the boys. It's a bit of a morale killer doing eight hours of that."
Why the Cormidi C85 Self Loading Tracked Dumper Works for Innoflow's Sites
Jacob didn't realise Pronto Hire had a machine like this in the fleet until his boss brought one onto site.
"I actually didn't know Pronto did them. I actually didn't know they existed until my boss kind of decided that. Take it easy on my back for a bit, which is good. Look after the boys."
On a recent job installing a pre-load tank, the wastewater system site sat about 50 metres from where material needed to move, all through narrow site gates the Cormidi C85 fits through with ease.
"So they fit in all of our gates perfectly. We're able to run many at a time because they're quite fast, really efficient."
The machine's self loading front end means Jacob's crew can fill it without a digger or a shovel in sight.
"It pretty much works exactly like a digger at the front. It allows us to scoop up our metal and dump it in. We don't have to shovel by hand, and we don't have to get a digger out here and ruin up the concrete sidewalk."
Once loaded, the crew can spread material straight from the machine, keeping the site clean as they go.
"We keep it off the dirt and then keeps the whole footpath nice and clean."
There's next to no learning curve either, Jacob says new crew are running it themselves within minutes.
"Real easy to use. Anyone can do it. Ten minutes. You can get used to it real fast. It saves a lot of time."
The Outcome: Less Manpower, Less Strain, Faster Turnaround
- Cut the crew needed to move material down to a third, from three men barrowing to one person running the Cormidi C85
- One load now fills their 5 ton digger bucket, a job that used to take eight wheelbarrow trips
- New crew members pick up the machine in about ten minutes, no experience required
- Narrow enough to fit through site gates, avoiding the need for a full digger on tighter sites
- Multiple units can run at once on bigger jobs, keeping material moving fast
"It takes about eight wheelbarrows to fill up our five ton bucket. And at the moment, it's taking one of these to fill up our five ton bucket. So it's third of the manpower to actually do it. You can do it yourself."

Jacob says the service extends beyond the yard too, with site visits from Pronto reps even on far north and far south jobs.
"Pronto supply us with pretty much everything we use. Machines I didn't even know that they had or anyone had. And yeah, the service is amazing."
"We get site visits from managers and agents and reps, give us little lolly bags and makes the boys happy. But yeah, services impeccable, products are impeccable. It's very easy."
