If your job requires transporting loaders, graders, rollers or tracked machines on public roads, you need the right endorsement on your licence. Our NZTA-approved WTR course (also known as WRT) runs from our Porirua training facility and covers all three endorsements: Wheels (W), Tracks (T) and Rollers (R).
Our prices are highly competitive and won't break your bank.

A WTR endorsement is a licence add-on, not an operator qualification. It proves you’ve completed a theory course and shown you can move a special-type vehicle safely on and off a road.
Without certification, operating these vehicles on public roads, carparks, beaches, riverbeds or unlocked private yards is illegal; this applies to individual operators and civil crews alike.
You need a W, T or R endorsement if you drive any special-type vehicle on a road. This does not include agricultural vehicles, tractors or forklifts (forklifts have their own separate F endorsement).
Here’s a quick breakdown:
The endorsement alone isn’t enough. You also need the right class of full licence based on the weight and speed of the vehicle.
| Special-Type Vehicle | Class 1 (Full) | Class 2 (Full) | Class 4 (Full) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rollers or self-laying tracks | Up to 18,000 kg GLW | Over 18,000 kg GLW | — |
| Wheels — up to 30 km/h on the road | Up to 18,000 kg GLW | Over 18,000 kg GLW | — |
| Wheels — over 30 km/h on the road | Up to 4,500 kg GLW | 4,500 kg to 18,000 kg GLW | Over 18,000 kg GLW |
GLW = Gross Laden Weight
You must hold a full New Zealand Class 1 (car) licence to sit this course. If you’re operating heavier machines, you’ll need the appropriate higher class licence as shown in the table above.
$525 incl. GST for all three endorsements (W, T and R).
