GGM Group are celebrating huge success at APF 2024, which was held at Ragley Estate, Warwickshire last month with fantastic footfall, demos and connections made.
The APF Exhibition is the UK’s largest forestry, arboriculture, firewood. fencing, trade show. It attracts over 320 exhibitors and 23,000 visitors.
The APF was an opportunity for GGM to showcase its product range aimed at the woodland and tree-care industries.
The range showcased included the TP280 tracked chipper which generated a huge amount of interest and requests for demos and just prior to the show, GGM had made a sale of a new TP280 tracked chipper and the event allowed for a handover to the customer with the technical team from TP.
Key features of the product include:
- A large, 11” in-feed with aggressive ”shark teeth” vertical rollers generating a strong and effective in-feed
- TP “Fast Feed” option giving the chipper the safe hand feeding as well as the benefit of excavator feeding for larger timber
- Full radio remote operation for controlling the chipper from the excavator seat
- No need for HGV transport, the TP280 chipper can be transported on a suitable 3,500kg GVW Plant trailer behind a capable pick up or van.
The event also provided an opportunity for the business to showcase the Cast SSQ Worky-Quad skidsteer loaders which revolutionize on-site working where narrow access and confined workspaces are an issue. Thanks to the interchangeability of multiple attachments, the SSQ Worky-quad can complete a large range of tasks throughout many different industries
The addition of Worky Quad to the product range follows significant developments in GGM’s entry in to the Arb market, including the expansion of their FSI territories with the addition of Yorkshire to North Wales and North of England. FSI is Europe’s largest manufacturer of stump cutters and becoming the FSI Stump Cutter Dealer for most of the North of England along with TP and Workyquad is a large step towards the company’s ambition to become the tree surgeon’s dealer of choice in the North.
The GGM range of Ag & Arb equipment also offers high-performing solutions from manufacturers including Kubota, Knegt, Major, Eliet, Echo and Husqvarna amongst others.
Phil Edmondson of GGM said: “It was fantastic to exhibit at this national show allowing us to showcase our range in the best possible way. We had a huge number of visitors with enquiries right across our product range.
“With FSI and TP also having stands at the show, the added benefit of having manufacturers present to offer hands-on advice direct to the end users proved theirs, and GGM Groups commitment to the arb industry”.
