10% off the Etesia Donky Electric Wheelbarrow

June 15, 2017/in Industry News, Press Release/by Lucy Nicholls

10% off the Etesia Donky Electric Wheelbarrow – Etesia UK has announced that the Donky electric wheelbarrow is now available with a 10% price discount.

Lightweight, noiseless, no fumes and big savings on fuel – since its launch in 2015, the environmentally friendly Donky electric wheel barrow has quickly become a popular choice for those responsible for landscape management.

With a powerful 1700 W engine, electronic advance management and two driving wheels with an agricultural profile, the Donky has an impressive capacity to move in difficult terrain. Unlike non-electric motorised wheelbarrows, users can enjoy up to two days of work without any harmful pollutants – in turn helping to protect the environment.

Working and moving in complete silence, and not creating any noise problems for the surrounding area, the Donky electric wheelbarrow can move up to 250 kg or 180 L (400L with the boards) in one trip. With a tank integrated in the tray and a 1″ valve, it can carry 85 L of water or liquid and a spray hose can be connected to it.

The Donky is not just comfortable, environmentally friendly and silent, it is also a true tool carrier; with its exclusive MRM tray and accessories, it will help you in a large variety of jobs throughout the year from cleaning, landscaping, snow removal, transportation of liquids and work platforms. It allows the transport of bulky products (boards, cross member, closing fabric and reel), and provides a working surface at a suitable height. The Donky also features a tray emptying function which is achieved by a central lever, with unlocking and assistance.

This versatile machine can be used in many areas including building and landscaping sites, breeding farms, transport activities, snow clearing, green space maintenance, vegetable farming and plant nurseries.

Furthermore, the hourly cost of use of an Etesia Donky wheelbarrow is approximately £0.03 meaning that the operator will notice significant savings when compared to a fuel based wheelbarrow.

Now with a 10% price reduction, the Donky is an even more cost-effective solution priced at just £3231 +VAT.

Shelton Sportsturf Drainage win Exporter of the Year Award

June 14, 2017/in Industry News, Press Release/by Annabel Gilbert

Shelton design, manufacture and sell machinery specifically for the drainage of sports pitches, turf playing surfaces and agricultural land and have over 15 specialist drainage machinery products in the range, all built in the UK by Shelton who can boast nearly 60 years of combined experience in the drainage industry.

Director Richard Clark said: “We export our machinery to 20 different countries; we have overseas dealers in USA, Australia, Germany, Denmark and Sweden which are our main markets, followed by Ireland, Belgium and France. Export sales now represent 35% of our total business with growth having largely been driven by the launch of the CT150 Agricultural Chain Trencher after we were awarded a Rural Development Fund from East Lindsey District Council enabling us to progress its development. The grant was key to the success of the project as it enabled us to use computer aided design to develop the production of the CT150 and to invest in the marketing of the product in a new market. Export sales growth has also been attributed to our ability to manufacture bespoke machinery; we can modify our machines to suit the different working conditions of our clients, i.e. in Denmark their high silt content soil can cause problems with fines entering the drainage pipes and causing a build up, leading to blockages preventing the drainage from working efficiently. We engineered our Supertrencher+760 to suit this market by adding on a reel to lay geotextile material at the bottom of the trench underneath the pipework, preventing the small fines from entering it, thereby improving the efficiency and longevity of the drainage system being installed.

We have had a positive start to 2017 with machines being exported to Hungary which is a completely new market for us and we are committed to growing our export business, so it’s great to be recognised by ELBA with this award.
