Avant Head to Plantworx 2017

April 21, 2017/in Press Release/by Admin

AVANT UK head to this year’s Plantworx with a host of new innovations and developments to showcase over the three days.

The team will be on hand to assist with both practical demonstrations and a show stand so there will be plenty of opportunities to find out more about the new additions to the extensive range of compact loaders.

Avant has recently had plenty to celebrate after being awarded a highly commended in the Plantworx Awards 2017 – for Innovation in the Environment section.

Said Avant UK Managing Director, Raimo Ala-Korpi: “We were delighted to receive the award from the Plantworx team. It recognises the commitment we have to the environment and ensuring our compact loaders are as environmentally friendly as they can be.”

For the first-time in the UK visitors to the stand will be able to learn more about the new Optidrive™ system which is available on the 700-series loaders. In the new system the amount of hydraulic hoses and fittings has been radically reduced and optimized, where the name Optidrive™ derives from as well.

The principal benefits of the new Optidrive™ are:

10% better performance
60% less hydraulic connections
20% less hoses
Parking brake in rear wheels
Less heat build up
Less engine vibrations in Avant 700 series
Better hydraulic connector system
Better servicing

The Optidrive™ reduces the power loss in the system by up to 1,5 kW, which is roughly 10 % of the total power used in the drive circuit. This means lower fuel consumption, less heat in the hydraulic system and more power for the actual job.

The demonstration arena will include the Avant Electric model, machines with hand drive controls system in medium and large loaders and a fleet of attachments showing the variety of systems available today.

On the show stand there will be a full range of models from the 200 to 700, again all equipped with the many attachments Avant provide.

The stand will provide a large open space to highlight the innovative Avant loaders and accessories with all the models present, ranging in size and functionality, enabling show visitors to find the right model for the job.

This range of tool carriers is extremely user-friendly, making them ideal for the construction market with a choice of some 200 attachments for outstanding on-site adaptability.

Turf Equipment SA Appointed New Jacobsen Dealer for South Australia

April 21, 2017/in Press Release/by Admin

Turf Equipment SA, the Adelaide-based turf equipment dealership, has been appointed as a Jacobsen dealer for Southern Australia.

Turf Equipment SA has been recently formed by the company Golf Car Solutions which has been selling golf cars since 2002. The new dealership has been introduced to represent products from renowned turf equipment manufacturer Jacobsen. The appointment will strengthen Jacobsen’s position in the region, and it will provide new and long-standing customers with expert product advice and after-sales support.

Jordan Ormsby, brother of Australian professional golfer Wade Ormsby, is the owner of Golf Car Solutions and Turf Equipment SA. Commenting on becoming an official Jacobsen distributor, Jordan said:
“It is a pleasure to be able to offer the Jacobsen brand to our customer base. Jacobsen products are of the highest quality and this is already showing as we have recently placed seven machines into a leading, internationally recognised golf course, as well as receiving orders for another four machines in the region.

“We moved into our dealership premises two years ago, and things have gone from strength to strength for us. Our site which is approximately 6000 sqm is centrally located within 5km of the Adelaide Central Business District, which provides easy access to all parts of South Australia. I am particularly proud of our family history; my brother is a professional golfer on the European and Australasian Tour. My father, Peter Ormsby, founded the largest golf store in the southern hemisphere, and is also one of very few Australian PGA life members who now manages two of South Australia’s leading public golf courses. Golf is very much a family affair, and we are all extremely passionate about the industry and supporting it in whatever way we can.”

Mike Foskett, Regional Sales Manager for Jacobsen, commented on the dealership appointment of Turf Equipment SA. He said,
“We are very excited about our new dealership in Adelaide. They are already doing a superb job of promoting the Jacobsen brand and our world-class range of turf maintenance equipment. We’re looking forward to working with Jordan and his staff in the years to come, and I’m sure they will continue to do a fantastic job of serving our shared customers throughout South Australia.”
