Spring show at Staffare, Sweden!

The annual spring show of Staffare in Hudiksvall was a huge success. Despite the varying weather, with sunshine and rain, there was a great interest.  The yard was filled with both agricultural and construction machinery, which attracted the attention of the visitors. Hundreds and hundreds of burgers were served to happy, hungry and grateful guests.

There were several FARMA and BIGAB trailers at display. Great interest was shown in our new G2 products that we were able to display both in regard of FARMA and BIGAB.

Many thanks to Staffare for a successful show and good luck with the sales!

Serial production of FARMA T 16 4 WD is on the way!

This FARMA T 16 4 WD trailer with a C 8,5 will be ready this week and transported to a customer in Norway. We see quite a huge interest in our Generation 2 trailers spreading from models T 10 – T 16 4 WD. A few weeks back we started the serial production of T 10 and T 12 trailers and now it is time to do the same with the 4 WD trailers. This T 16 4 WD is the first serial produced trailer. That means that we have them in order and that we need to increase productivity in order to deliver. So we are proud of the market receiving of the Generation 2 FARMA trailers and that we now need to produce them in serial production. 

Russia says Hello!

Russian company Remteсhstroy, which supplies road construction equipment, has found a nice way to use our FARMA crane C 5,3. They have mounted it directly on a wood chipper. The combination saves time by loading the logs of wood straight into the wood chipper.  Paving a road through forest, different sizes of the log can on – site be turned into chips. The combination of crane and wood chipper is very popular in Russia, in a country where the road and infrastructure building is more than ever developing in a really brisk pace.

Remtechstroy is really satisfied with the result of the combination Farma crane C5,3 and wood chipper and is pleased to offer this advantageous and user-friendly set to their  customers!

Spring show at Traktorcentralen, Sweden!

When Traktorcentralen, Sweden opened their doors to the annual spring show last week, they did so in newly opened premises. It is a fantastic workshop, well-stocked shop and a hall that can accommodate most things in terms of machinery, all perfectly arranged with space to grow in.

Interest was high and the overall response from all the visitors was extremely positive for this initiative.  Saturday’s big crowds event were tractor pulling and the whole event could probably be described with the word “folk fest”.

We wish Traktorcentralen best of luck in the new premises!

All the best, Anders Svensson

The fastest FARMA around!

As in other years a rider for the Scunthorpe Speedway team carries a Fors MW logo on his bike. This time it is 18 year old Australian “Flyin” Ryan Douglas. Ryan is from Brisbane, Australia. He starts his first year at speedway after winning multiple dirt tract races in his home country. The high light of his stay so far was when he saw his first snow and sub zero temperatures. Being based in UK the strange weather is something he will have to get used to. He must carry what we think is the fastest FARMA logon in Europe.

We wish Ryan a successful season and will update on his progress throughout the summer!

Spring weather with a bit of a surprise at Sunne Bil & Maskin, Sweden!

Sunne Bil & Maskin held their traditional spring show and as always a lot of customers came by to pay a visit and they surly had lots of machinery to take a closer look at. For the first time in this part of region we presented our new Generation 2 trailer. This time a 10 ton trailer with a 7 m FARMA crane mounted on it.

To my delight many positive reviews was expressed, and some of these positive clients discussed deals direct at the show. It is so fun to represent our company with such response to our ventures. As usual Sunne Bil & Maskin had a wide range of FARMA models to offer their customers different needs.

We thank Sunne for their nice show and the family atmosphere and wish good luck with the deals to be made!

By the way, Saturday offered a bit of a drama in form of heavy wet snow which crashed the tent that provided roof for dining out doors but bad weather could not destroy the good mood of most visitors that weekend.

Demonstration days at Gilholms Maskiner in Kungälv, Sweden!

Last week Gilholms Maskiner in Kungälv, Sweden had their annual demonstration days with loads of machinery that filled the yard. The weather was mixed and you could not really feel spring in the air. You actually saw some snow which even for these parts of Sweden is a bit rare by middle of April. The visitors who came had lots of equipment to get better acquainted with. BIGAB G2 attracted, as usual, many questions and great interest. A couple of FARMA and BIGAB were sold directly on site during the days.

We thank Roger Gillholm with staff for a pleasant show!

Soon summer and loads of fairs to attend!

Summer fairs are fast approaching. There are many pieces that must fall into place and a lot to prepare. This week, Anders Svensson and Göran Carlsson visited our stand at MaskinExpo. We measured and planned to make room for all the trailers we want to show you. It is hard to imagine how this location, which is empty and quiet in the sun, just about a month from now, will be full of people and machines in a wonderful mix. We at Fors MW will do everything we can to give you a fair of extraordinary experience, so we want to greet you welcome into our stand!

The picture shows Göran Carlsson with his dog Vilda in the Fors MW stand.

In Mantorp we received a grand reception of the entire sales organization. It was also an opportunity to get to know Johan Rangskog a little closer. He is relatively recently employed as a salesman.

HÄGGBERGS, Sweden

We visited Häggbergs Traktor och Maskin in Motala and Norrköping, Sweden last week. In Motala, they had built a new workshop good in size for both square meters and height to satisfy customers demands for good service and that is not the only thing that shows good faith in the future for this company. For several years the company has grown and we congratulate them on this achievement.

In Norrköping the sales guy Christer Andersson will earn his well-deserved retirement this summer and a new sales guy is on the way in. We want to thank Christer for a very nice collaboration over the years and wish Christer successor best of luck.

Spring show at Maskin Väst, Karlstad – Sweden!

Even though spring is a bit late this year in Sweden there were lots of visitors when Maskin Väst opened the doors to this year’s spring show. Everywhere you looked, were machines standing in long lines. The cold made itself constantly reminded so lots of coffee was served during the day to stay warm. Despite the cold we were able to notice a great interest in our products at show!

The picture shows the row of BIGAB trailers awaiting delivery to their new owners!

We thank Maskin Väst for a well – executed event!

Meet yet another satisfied BIGAB customer from Holland!

Our dealer Hissink & ZN prefer to sell the BIGAB model 14 – 17 to their customers. It seems as if the size fits the Dutch customers perfectly. Adding a crane to the model, which Hissink usually do, you have a hook lift trailer up for most tasks.

This BIGAB 14 – 17 equipped with a BIGAB Z crane 6,6 is supplied to Ter Braak cultuurtechniek. They use it for maintenance of parks, nature and recreation areas. They also use if for the construction sites. Flexibility and self-sufficiency have been the factors to buy a BIGAB with Z 6.6 crane. 

AGA cryogenic tank 6000 l installed!

Today we installed AGA cryogenic tank 6000 l. It will provide oxygen through central pipeline for laser and gas cutting. Quite a lot of work but worth it! We use a lot of gas!

Traditional machine show at Andresens Maskiner in Uddevalla, Sweden!

From the 22 – 24 of March the traditional spring machine show were held under the concept American Auction at Andresens Maskiner in Uddevalla, Sweden. It was three days with lots of visitors.  American Auction sale is as follows, there is a price on the first day, and then the price drops every day. So those who can act cool waits and might by the end of the three days make a really good deal.

Fors MW was of course represented with several BIGAB hook lift trailers for prospective buyers. As usual, attracted BIGAB 10 – 14 G2 considerable interest a trailer which apparently takes the market with great interest.

A great thanks to Andersen’s with staff who arranged a really good show!

Machine demonstration days at Sundahsl, Växjö!

On the 24 of March, it was the traditional spring show at Sundahls, Växjö. The day offered cold winds but also lots of visitors (about 1500) who were treated a nice show of machinery at the yard on the nice premises of Sundahls. There were of course also several FARMA and BIGAB trailers on show. I mean you need to have one FARMA to bring the timber out of the forest, one BIGAB container to load the sawed goods on and one BIGAB trailer to drive it off with. The interest on this day was great for Fors MW products. It´s always nice to come out and meet our users there is so much knowledge and experience to be gained.

I thank Jan and Evert Sundahls with dedicated staff on a well organized day that certainly gave many ideas and surely business!

Sincerely, Eric Queckfeldt

Meet Lars & Christian from Sewage & Drainage in West AB, Sweden!

The other day when we were out and drove, we passed by this fine equipage of a BIGAB 12 – 15 that currently was loaded with an excavator and lots of accessories, on the way to a new job. It was the gentlemen’s Lars and Christian who runs the runs the Sewage and Drainage Company in Skara, Sweden. We took the time to get acquainted a bit with them. They were very satisfied with their BIGAB and though to purchase yet another one, this time BIGAB 15 – 19. We thank Lars and Christian for the short visit and wish you good luck! It was as always nice to take the time to listen to this entrepreneurial story. We do hope that you know that without entrepreneurs all countries would stop!

Meet a BIGAB customer from Holland!

BIGAB is the number one hook lift system of Europe and sold in several European countries. Now it is time to meet one of our users in Holland. The BIGAB model 14 – 17 is bought from our dealer Hissink & ZN.

This is a BIGAB equipped with a Palfinger Epsilon C80 Z crane with a scope of almost 9 meter. This BIGAB was supplied to the local authorities of The Hague. The choice for the BIGAB came from being in need to manage with their own waste handling. Along with the Z crane they have a trailer equipped to manage a number of different jobs. 

Visit to Skellefteå Traktorekonomi, Sweden!

With a newly renovated shop and brand new sales office they become more efficient and welcoming. The yard has both FARMA and BIGAB at place. The picture shows Traktorekonomi sales guy Patrik Boström with a concept that challenges the ATV´s of the forest. A FARMA lumber trailer attached to a single tractor without cab! A smooth and good equipage that makes a difference in the forest.

We wish Totto and Mattias with staff good luck with the venture and look forward to continued cooperation.
