Meet a customer in Ireland

This CT 6,3 – 9 is based in the lovely county of Offaly in Ireland. The trailer is owned by Tom Vaughan and his wife Petra. The trailer is equipped with pump and tank along with radio control of the crane and extension rear banks.

A vital part of Toms ever expanding tree business, not just in the local forest and plantations but lots of tree work on road side maintenance and residential work around the town. The radio steering makes it an ideal crane when working in tight and often blind spaces. Tom is satisfied with his trailer and loves the crane and would recommend both to other customers.

Thanks to our dealer Dave Power Plant and the customary Irish hospitality shown by the Vaughan family!

About Fors MW

AS FORS MW is the story of one of Sweden’s real heroes - the entrepreneur. As so often with entrepreneurs it’s not the goal in itself that is interesting, it is the journey to reach it.

Leif Fors, company founder and CEO are entrepreneur by birth. Companies being established have always been handled with the same hard work and energetic fire.

However the lack of fare entrepreneurship in our country of origin has caused problems from time to time. A true entrepreneur doesn’t ask for charity – a true entrepreneur asks for fairness and if not receiving it, you never know, he might turn somewhere else.

The story about Fors MW started with a ferry trip, destination Tallinn, at the end of the 80 - ties. The journey was conducted out of curiosity and public interest but what would reveal itself not further away then 400 km from Swedish boarder would shake the entrepreneur by his roots and he choose to stay and has not really left since then.

As entrepreneur he saw an opportunity to create something and by doing so creating a future for him self as well as for others.

Fors MW manufactures forest, agricultural and contractor machinery. Products we then market and sell world wide. The concern is the leading producer in its field and one of the most profitable companies within the mechanical industry in Europe.

Fors MW is based with part of production and most of the assembly in Estonia. The company is Swedish owned, established in 1992 and one of the oldest companies to be established by foreigners in Estonia.
