Fourtec is building a formidable reputation thanks to i3 Santana and Bremach ranges of go anywhere machines. Look out for them at this year's SED.
Abusy show stand is usually the sign of a company going places and Fourtec's stand in the Truckzone is always guaranteed to attract the masses_The Norfolk-based company is the importer of the Spanish-built Santana and Italian-made Bremach range of off-roading products and these stylish, costeffective machines have become a big hit in the UK since their introduction three years ago.
During that time the vehicles have made inroads with a number of big companies and sales volumes are rising steadily. Indeed we liked the Santana product so much we elected it our Testers' Choice for 2005 in the 4x4 and Pick-up class, being particularly impressed with the build quality, rugged off-road ability and general in-cab comfort But it's not only the press reports that matter and the Fourtec team haven't been sat on their hands. The management team has kept listening to the views of current and future customers, which has ensured the product has been adapted and developed to suit the needs of the demanding UK construction user.
This user feedback has led Fourtec to launch a new range of Work4orce branded Santana products which feature some notable product improvements. Chief among these is an improved turning circle, the technical developments to the steering set up give the Santana PSI 0 a smaller radius lock than a short wheelbase Land Rover, says Fourtec,providing both vehicles are shod with the now standard 235/85 R16 tyres. In addition the Santana is now equipped with anew ZF gearbox to reduce shift effort and improve the gear layout.
There will be a number of Santanas on display on the stand in the Truckzone as well as demonstrating on The Edge, where you can take a ride in a Santana station wagon doing the circuit. On the stand is a Santana pick-up equipped with 'Sky High' Gardner Denver access platform. a Santana twoseat van fully equipped by SVP for EDF energy and displayed in its livery.
Fourtec is also making a big push with the Bremach range of products at SED, with a particular emphasis on the road-rail sector.The dedicated Fourtec demonstration area, located in front of the stand will be showing a Bremach operating off road and along a section of rail track.The vehicles seen going through their paces demonstrating stability, axle articulation and approach angles, will he examples from the Bremach Extreme range at five and six tonne gross vehicle weight. The road-rail conversion is carried out by LH Access. In addi tion a Bremach equipped with Versalift Access platforms will also be on display.
Fourtec has now established itself as a supplier of specialist 4x4 vehicles with both Santana and Bremach into the utility and civil engineering sectors, with sales made to Scottish Coal, United Utilities, EDF energy and Rutland Council.To find out more about the exciting range of products on offer, visit the Fourtec stand, number 508.
