In a tough economy, farmers have to think hard before deciding to make a capital purchase and which brand to buy. While price will understandably dictate these decisions, it cannot be at the expense of quality, according to Goscor Power Products Managing Director, Mark Bester.
Bester says the company’s Subaru firefighter, for example, has been specially designed and engineered to deliver cost saving as well as safety benefits to end-users. Water stability during transport is vitally important especially due to the fact that the terrain is normally rough on farms. With unique designs such as the step-tank, struts on the tank ceiling and sides and baffles on the bottom of the tank interior, water movement is limited. Corner struts facilitate safe and secure tie-down of the unit on the back of the vehicle, while the black tank interior blocks UV rays to prevent algae build-up which can block the pump. The large tank lid (approx. 450mm dia) allows for fast filling and easy cleaning.
“Our products are remarkably affordable without compromising on quality, performance and reliability. Take our range of Rato fertilizer pumps. Fertilizer ingress will cause even the most expensive motor to fail. Our pumps will last as long as their nearest rivals in this extremely harsh environment, but at half the price, the farmer can afford to buy two, ready for next year’s season,” Bester says.
Goscor Power Products will be showcasing these as well as electric and engine driven industrial and DIY high pressure cleaners, petrol and diesel water pumps and generators, welding machines as well as fertilizer pumps at Nampo 2016. Alongside Goscor Power Products, two other companies in the Goscor Group, Bobcat Equipment and Goscor Hi-Reach, will also exhibit their agricultural product offerings
The company will be giving away products to the value of R25 000 in a daily lucky draw. Visitors to the stand will have the chance to win one of three DIY high pressure cleaners with the grand prize, a firefighter, up for grabs on the last day of the show.
