Council maintain coast with Ransomes

January 23, 2017/in Press Release/by Admin

The council has implemented a new grass cutting regime, which now sees the borough’s green spaces being cut six to 12 times per season. With a total of 650 acres to maintain, the council chose to purchase the Ransomes Parkway Meteor flail mowers to increase productivity whilst maintaining a high-quality finish.

Chris Durham, operations manager for the Borough of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk, commented on the decision to purchase the Ransomes machines:
“The council has used Ransomes mowers for many years now, and they are by far the most reliable and durable that we have used. As our requirements have changed over the years, Ransomes has been able to provide us with the right equipment for the job without compromising on quality. For us, there isn’t another machine that could replace the meteor; the build quality is in a league of its own.

“One meteor machine will maintain an area of 82 acres, which is quite a considerable distance. The council is trying to be more efficient and economical, which has been achieved by decreasing the number of machines, but increasing their productivity. We now spend less time cutting grass, and the savings we make are able to be invested into other projects to benefit the community.”

Steve Appleton is the operations assistant and mechanic at the borough of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk. Commenting on the new machines, Steve said:
“The flail mowers are doing a great job for the council. They’re able to plough through anything in front of them in a way which I personally haven’t seen with any other machine.

“The overall feedback from the operators has been very positive. They have all commented on the ease-of-use of the Parkway Meteors and how comfortable they are to operate, which is also very important.”

Highspeed Group’s ClearWater system was the focus of much attention at BTME this year and was a winner in more ways than one!

MD, David Mears said: “BTME is always an excellent show for us and this year proved no exception. We were most impressed by the large number of enquiries taken for our ClearWater washpad water recycling system from home and abroad. Our all-inclusive prices and show discount proved popular and our prize draw certainly was the big attraction for those serious about upgrading their wash facility to a full water recycling system! Many thanks to Jim Croxton, BIGGA’s CEO for drawing the prize.”

The prize of a ClearWater system was won by Steve Lloyd, course manager of The Worcestershire golf club. Steve, fortunately still in Harrogate after the draw, was pleased to accept the prize and commented: “Thanks to everyone at Highspeed for this great prize. Can’t wait to get it installed at the club. This self-contained wash system meets all the latest regulations to wash all our machines!”

It was interesting to learn at the show that many now do realise that compliance with legislation is of prime importance and that action is a must. Alongside many new enquirers were a number of visitors who had enquired in previous years!

ClearWater continues to offer exceptional value for money particularly as it is available for self-installation enabling costs to be reduced.
