Guttridge were pleased to exhibit their Carier range of grain handling equipment at the LAMMA show this year. Carier, historically a brand well known for providing solid, durable conveying equipment, was acquired by Guttridge in October 2004. The intellectual property, all files and records and some of the Carier sales engineers transferred to the Guttridge site in Spalding, Lincolnshire, and today Carier is still providing long lasting, reliable equipment for the grain handling industry.
Our stand at LAMMA was busy both days, with many people visiting the stand to look at the equipment and chat to the sales engineers and managers who were available to offer advice and information. Carier as a brand has not been actively promoted for a few years prior to 2011 so our stand attracted a lot of curiosity with many people showing an interest in finding out about the equipment and services we offer.
A lot of individuals showed interest in our Carier spares service. Due to the extensive, easily accessible records kept by Carier, anyone enquiring about a part for their machine will simply need to give the serial number or date of purchase and the genuine Carier spare part can be supplied without complication or delay. We frequently have enquiries about spare parts from past customers with machines still running well at over 40 years old!
In addition, at LAMMA we promoted Carier Care, our new commissioning and maintenance service, with maintenance technicians available on the stand to offer advice and chat to customers. Carier Care will be available throughout the UK for any type and brand of grain handling equipment and is designed specifically to help prevent downtime during the busy harvest period.
Information about machine specifications and throughputs for both Carier and Guttridge grain handling equipment was available on the stand. Carier equipment will handle throughputs of up to 100tph but for the larger storage facilities, Guttridge equipment can handle throughputs in excess of 400tph.
Due to the interest shown and the high number of enquiries received we are planning to exhibit at LAMMA 2013 on the 16th and 17th January and look forward to seeing you there!
