With over 30 years of experience led by Gary Baker, it's no wonder the Farmec range of trailers has a reputation for build quality and the Kiwi can-do attitude
With the comprehensive Farmec range of durable tip trailers ranging from 1-25 tonne capacity, each product is designed and built to stand the rigours of New Zealand conditions and be long-lasting with minimal maintenance.
Functionality is at the heart of the Farmec design, with more than 35 years of continued success both in the UK and now in New Zealand.
“When it comes to designing and manufacturing ag machinery, my ethos is the same as when I started out fresh off the boat in 1999,” says Gary.
“Everything is built to perform, and designed to last, and we’re proud to offer a wholly built New Zealand product.
“We’ve got a great base of repeat and long-term clients, which says it all.”
Kiwi Trailer Focus
“In New Zealand, we have a few added benefits when using a farm trailer, like being allowed to build to 3.1m wide, which allows for the tractor/trailer and then digger to be moved all in one load whilst operating under 40km/hr. The tractor-trailer combination isn’t subjected to the rigorous regulations of trucks,” says Gary.
Earthworks and civil firms are now embracing the tractor-trailer combination. Farmec offers unique heavy-built contractor trailers from 8- to 25-tonne capacity specifically for this industry.
The Farmec trailer is built on Kiwi dimensions so unlike the overseas equivalent, its trailer is at least 40% volumetrically bigger than an imported one, which these days is likely the difference between making money or not.
“Because we can build wider, this increases the volume, but also the centre of gravity gain offers enormous stability when working on hills, and with farming conditions that dramatically vary from Kaitaia to Invercargill, it’s very important to get the specs right,” says Gary.
“Whether you’re buying a one-tonne tipper for your compact tractor or 25 tonnes for behind your 350hp awesome tractor, rest assured we have done the homework to make the Farmec product survive the next 30 years.”
