Some of
the world’s top names in groundcare machinery – including Ferris and Wright
mowers, Spider slope mowers and Jensen woodchippers - are now being imported to
the UK by T H WHITE Machinery Imports.
To reflect
the rapid growth of the business, T H WHITE is taking not one but two stands at
SALTEX 2017 to showcase the latest developments and user benefits now available
from these respected brands.
The
opportunities that have come with these new brands mean that T H WHITE is now
seeking the right dealer partners in certain areas of the UK with whom
mutually-beneficial relationships can be built.
American-built
Ferris zero-turn mowers with patented independent suspension have long been
recognised as supremely comfortable ride-on mowers, but the range also includes
stand-on models with class-leading balance and manoeuvrability, as well as
walk-behind mowers with intuitive and user-friendly controls. On Stand H190
visitors will be able to go hands-on with three Ferris ride-on mowers – the
petrol 52in IS®2100Z, the new 61in
diesel-powered IS®2600Z and
top-of-the-range V-twin 72in IS®3200Z
which combines power with dual, commercial Hydro-Gear® ZT-5400 Powertrain®
transaxles for tough, durable performance. The choice of diesel and petrol
means you can match the mower to your work patterns to achieve the best
economy.
Also on
display from Ferris, the Soft-Ride Stand-on SRS™ Z1 brings together balance,
stability and safety in a package featuring a patent-pending adjustable
operator platform and suspension technology, while the Ferris FW35 dual
hydrostatic walk-behind has easy-to-use controls, electric start and a top
ground speed of 9,6 km/h, making it all your operatives or crew need to breeze
through lawn jobs with little effort. Completing the Ferris line-up is the all
new 400S light commercial zero turn. This mower features all the benefits of
its larger commercial family but with the price point and warranty to suit the
light commercial market. This product is set to transform this area of the
market, bringing affordability, durability, and comfort not currently seen in
any competing products.
Also built
in the USA, Wright mowers are well known for the Stander range, driven from a
standing position. This makes the mower extremely compact and allows the
operator to shift weight instantly for changing terrain. A Wright Stander 32in
will be displayed at together with the Stander i36in and Sport i48in models
which are unique in the market in offering the option of comfortable seating
for longer jobs, putting them among the most flexible commercial mowers in the
industry.
Spider
remote-controlled slope mowers are often termed the ‘safest mowers on the
market’. These innovative machines from the Czech Republic are perfect for a
wide range of applications involving steep, uneven or sometimes dangerous
terrain.
Visitors
will be able to see the original 18hp ILD-01 and the super-powerful ILD-02
models, both of which feature patented 360 degree unlimited steering, forward
and reverse 4wd, an integral mulching kit, low fuel consumption and fantastic
manoeuvrability. With the optional winch they can operate on slopes up to 55
degrees.
For
smaller tasks there is the Spider Mini – an outstanding machine for general
landscape work that’s more compact and lighter than the ILD-01 and ILD-02 yet
with almost the same climbing ability.
The superb
engineering and lightweight construction ensure the Spider is still the
lightest, commercial, wheeled remote-controlled commercial mower on the UK
market. The latest machine in the Spider range is the 3RIDER which offers the
choice of operation as a ride-on mower on slopes up to 15 degrees, or as a
remote-controlled slope mower on steeper terrain.
Three
steering configurations can be used for maximum manoeuvrability, including zero
turn in which all four wheels can be positioned at 45 degrees allowing the
Spider 3RIDER to turn around its vertical axis without damaging the grass or
soil. Powered by a 24.8HP diesel engine, this fully-professional model is
suitable for extra large sloping areas and offers the possibility of both
cutting and mulching.
Newest
addition to the brands imported by T H WHITE is Jensen woodchippers, sturdy,
high capacity chippers that represent German engineering at its best. Jensen is
well known on the Continent and has been manufacturing quality woodchippers for
more than 130 years.
Until now,
Jensen’s presence in the UK has been limited, but T H WHITE is not only
importing Jensen machines, but it also stocks all necessary parts in the UK and
is rapidly developing a dealer network to deliver sales and service across the
country. At Saltex Jensen will have it’s own stand, H202, directly across the
aisle from the main T H WHITE Machinery Imports stand.
On show
will be three of Jensen’s most popular and competitively priced machines – the
A530 petrol, A530L diesel and the A540 Spider (tracked). All Jensen chippers
are available in tracked, trailed or tractor-mounted versions and all are
covered by a three-year commercial warranty. Jensen offers one of the most
adept ranges of wood chippers on the market with some clever engineering
principles unmatched by other makes.
