Compact loaders and telehandlers added to southern dealer network
Kirkland UK has been appointed official Weidemann distributor for the South of England, giving customers access to a range of compact wheel loaders, telehandlers and attachments.
The German manufacturer’s equipment is being added to Kirkland’s specialist machinery portfolio, with particular relevance to fruit growers, vineyards and other businesses where manoeuvrability and compact dimensions are important.
The range includes articulated wheel loaders, telescopic wheel loaders, telehandlers and attachments. Articulated steering allows the machines to work in confined areas and between narrow orchard and vineyard rows, while their lifting capability makes them suitable for handling harvest bins, pallets, pruning material and other loads.
The machines also have applications across livestock, mixed and arable farms, including bale handling, feeding, mucking out, grain and fertiliser handling and general yard work.
Kirkland UK will supply the complete Weidemann range, supported by its sales specialists, service engineers and genuine parts operation.
Scott Worsley, managing director of Kirkland UK, said the range complemented Kirkland’s existing specialist machinery portfolio and offered customers compact handling equipment with the versatility to work across a range of applications.
Kirkland will also offer on-site demonstrations, allowing customers to assess machine performance and select appropriate attachments for their individual requirements.
The new franchise replaces Kirkland’s previous Giant loader offering, although the company says it will continue to provide parts and aftersales support for Giant machines it has already sold.
The Weidemann appointment follows a period of expansion for Kirkland, which has also added Deutz-Fahr specialist tractors and Vitibot autonomous vineyard machinery to its portfolio.
The company is based at Sutton Valence, Maidstone, Kent, and will provide sales and aftersales support for Weidemann customers across southern England.
