Bobcat has added two new authorised dealers for the company’s telescopic loader range for the agricultural market in the UK. A&M Group is now responsible for sales and service of Bobcat telescopic loaders in South and West Wales, and Powys; and Truckmasters Handling Limited is now representing the Bobcat telescopic loader range in Norfolk and Cambridgeshire.
“We’re delighted to appoint A&M Group and Truckmasters as new dealers for the Bobcat telescopic loader range,” the network development manager for the UK & Nordic countries for Doosan Bobcat EMEA, Ewen Gilchrist, said. “Both companies are well established and well known in the agricultural sectors in their respective areas. Combining their familiarity with the local market and their dedication and passion for the Bobcat range, I am confident they will be successful in increasing market share for Bobcat in the farming market.”
A&M Group was founded in 1986 and began operating from premises at Lower Lamphey in Pembrokeshire providing agricultural engineering for local farmers and contractors. With the growth of the business came the need for better coverage in West Wales, and this led to the construction of the company’s head office at St Clears in Camarthenshire in 2006. About 10 years later, A&M Group opened a depot in Llandow, which has recently been replaced with a new depot at Bridgend, providing further coverage in South Wales.
A&M Group director James Atherton said he was very pleased to be a new dealer for the Bobcat telescopic loader range.
“We have already sold Bobcat TL30.60 Agri telescopic loaders to two large dairy farmers in South Wales, who are both very happy with the performance of their new machines,” he added.
Truckmasters Handling has been in the materials handling business for more than 45 years. The company has depots in Wisbech in Cambridgeshire and Norwich in Norfolk. Both have fully equipped workshops, parts and accessories and highly experienced manufacturer trained engineers. The company’s mobile engineers, meanhwile, have fully stocked service vehicles that carry many common parts, so downtime is kept to a minimum.
The managing and sales director at Truckmasters, Graham Elsam said the Bobcat telescopic loader range was a well-designed and well-made product that fitted well with his customer base.
“We deal with all sections of the agriculture market in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk from the field and animal farming to packaging and processing, and telescopic loaders have a role in every type of activity in the sector,” he added.
A & M Group and Truckmasters will promote the Bobcat range of seven telescopic loader models and attachments for the farming market, covering maximum lifting capacities between 2,600 and 4,300kg with lifting heights from six to eight metres. Like all Bobcat rigid frame telehandlers, these products are backed by a three year/3,000-hour warranty as standard, with the option of extending the warranty to five years/6,000 hours.
Offering more than 40 years of expertise in telescopic loaders, the Bobcat range is manufactured at the company’s plant at Pontchâteau, France.
