Pellenc UK
has welcomed Terra Firma and Greenlay to its ever-growing dealership network;
both of which will be distributing the full range of Pellenc professional
battery powered equipment.
Terra
Firma, part of Agrovista UK, is quickly developing into one of Scotland’s
largest specialist suppliers to the amenity and local authority markets.
After
going from strength to strength over recent years and significantly expanding
its machinery portfolio, the company prides itself on providing only the finest
equipment and products and this means that they have to be very selective
according to sales advisor Allan Wright.
“We have
no ambitions to become a normal grass machinery company,” he said. “It is for
this reason that we are expanding the range of specialist equipment we offer
and Pellenc is a perfect addition.”
The
extensive Pellenc product range features an impressive portfolio - from
chainsaws, pole saws and hedge cutters to grass strimmers, brushcutters,
blowers and mowers and Allan claims that his mind was instantly made up as soon
as he saw the products being demonstrated.
“We
organised a few demonstrations and it was obvious that these were the kind of
products that would be incredibly hard to not take on-board especially with the
green credentials and the low vibration and noise levels.
“These
features are a massive benefit, not just to the local authorities, but to
everyone who operates them – they are so quiet you can actually have a
conversation while using the machine. Performance wise, there is no difference
from the Pellenc range to a normal two-stroke strimmer or hedge cutter. They
will do exactly the same job, but when you look at the costs then there are
massive savings when it comes to the Pellenc equipment. Users will save an
incredible amount on fuel and it will also mean not having to worry about
filling up or carrying lots of fuel in a van.”
Greenlay,
based in Cramlington, Northumberland has been serving both the professional and
domestic turf markets since 1971. Boasting a 2000sq ft showroom displaying a
huge range of equipment, the company strives to ensure that the customer gets
the best machine for the job at all times and sales administrator Harry
Pattinson is delighted to have added Pellenc to the collection.
“We never
thought the opportunity would come about so we were delighted when we were
approached by Pellenc,” he said.
“Pellenc
is a leading brand in the battery powered range and it is the only battery that
can last as long as it does in the professional range. Plus, with a three-year
warranty on the equipment I just know that it will sit well with our customers.
“It has so
many benefits and I particularly like the fact that the battery can be
transferred from different machines – so you can use it in a strimmer as well
as a blower or a hedge cutter. The power on the equipment is instantaneous and
the performance is very similar to two stroke. Yes, the price might be slightly
higher but because you are not using fuel you will find that it does pay for
itself very quickly.
“Pellenc
is aimed at the professional market which we want to continue to grow in, so it
absolutely suits the quality product range that we already offer here at
Greenlay.”
With
immediate effect the Pellenc range from Terra Firma is available in the areas
of central Scotland, the Scottish borders and the west coast; while Greenlay is
distributing the Pellenc equipment to Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, Co
Durham and Teeside.
All
Pellenc batteries and tools come with a three-year commercial warranty and are
distributed in the UK and Ireland exclusively by Etesia UK.
