Queensland-based Equipment Specialists Australia (ESA) has been named Faresin Industries Dealer of the Year.
The accolade is yet another feather in the cap of ESA, which has been making a name for itself in recent years for bringing in quality equipment for the construction and earthmoving industries.
Faresin Industries, headquartered in the Italian town of Breganze, designs, manufactures and markets mixer wagons and ration analysis instruments for the livestock sector and telescopic handlers for agricultural and industrial use.
We spoke to Business Development Manager for Agricultural Products for Ahern Australia, David Soderstrom, to learn more about Faresin and why ESA were worthy winners of the award.
“The company initially started out as a supplier of components to another Italian company Laverda, which today is a part of the AGCO family,” David said.
“Faresin has sold machines in Australia since 2014, for the agricultural and industrial sectors. The company maintains strong commitments to understanding a customer’s requirements and supporting the owners through their ownership of their purchased equipment.”
The major equipment sold to the industrial side has been the telehandlers, with a range from 2.6 tonnes through to 7t, and boom reaches from 6 metres through to 17m and everything in between.
“We also have two separate lines within the telehandler range: one being the conventual diesel-powered version, and the other being the fully electric one,” David said.
“We see a strong customer base for both ranges, with some companies opting for a diesel version due to their site requirements and others opting for electric.
“Faresin was the first manufacturer to bring this electric technology to market in the world. So I’d say both ranges are important as we can tailor a machine to suit a customer’s requirements.”
David said the electric range of telehandlers was already making a definite mark in Australia.
“As we were the first brand to bring them to Australia, we have learnt about what the market is expecting with the machines, and the machines’ capabilities to do the required work. This is why Faresin has launched bigger fully electric versions to cater for the Australian market.”
In this regard, ESA has played a major part.
“Our connection with ESA is going on four years now,” David said.
“We were looking for a dealership which wasn’t connected to other brands and were willing to make inroads in the market with a product range which has a good following in the area.
“This has continued and under the influence of ESA Operations Manager Lawrence Perkins, his wife Deb and Sales Manager Lance Manning, Faresin owners are able to be supported and purchase new equipment.
“Their efforts have been impressive. Judging from the passion shown and the sales realised, ESA has done a truly remarkable job this year.
“Their commitment to the brand, the supporting of their customers and the marketing and sales strategies shown by the team made the award a foregone conclusion.
“Ahern Australia is proud to have them representing the brand and selling the machines and not only doing this but exceeding the customer expectations.
“I had one of their customers say to me ‘I’ve never got this level of service and I have dealt with some of the bigger supplies in my working career.’ With feedback like that it is hard to argue.”
The fantastic Faresins
Faresin’s telehandlers offer durable designs with reliable performance. Thanks to their compact design and excellent maneuverability, the telehandlers work without any problems in the tightest of spaces.
The range of Faresin telehandlers includes models for all needs:
6.26 Full Electric
- Maximum lifting capacity: 2600kg
- Maximum height: 5.9 m
- Weight: 4800kg
The Faresin Industries R&D centre, after years of research, developed this innovative machine on the same chassis as the telescopic handler 6.26, a model suitable for all situations in which the structures and work environments have limited space.
The fact that it has zero carbon emissions allows for it to be used even in closed environments, such as warehouses, logistics areas and agricultural activities, improving the level of comfort and safety in the workplace.
The low noise level allows for it to be used in workplaces and environments where the use of combustion engines is not recommended.
These technical solutions are perfectly in line with new green technology which provides for a reduced impact on the environment in the future.
The telescopic handler Full Electric 6.26 can be used in any operating condition thanks to its practicality and its all-wheel drive.
Middle range
The middle range of telehandlers is suitable for companies seeking a ductile machine that, thanks to the new technologies applied, ensures management savings and high performance.
The models include the 7.35 (lift capacity 3500kg and max height 7.1m) , 7.45 (4500kg, 7.1m), 8.40 (4000kg, 8m), 9.30 (3000kg, 9m) and 11.35 (3500kg, 9.9m).
Features include
- Queen Cab: comfort, visibility and ergonomics
- Stage 3A tier 3 engines
- Gear pump or load sensing pump
Heavy range
With the same features as the middle range but with greater power and handling ability, the heavy duty range was born for the agricultural, housing and construction sectors and offers power, precision and control with great handling capacities.
The models include the 9.60 (6000kg, 8.8m) and the 10.65 (6500kg, 9.5m).
Big range
And if you need even more reach, Faresin offers telehandlers that can rise to 16.4m.
The structure of the boom, built in two or three sections, is designed to ensure maximum functionality even in routine maintenance operations.
Thanks to the use of front outriggers and side levelling, the machine is the ideal choice for all material handling operations in construction site areas.
The models include the 14.42 (4200kg, 13.6m), 17.40 (4000kg, 16.4m) and 17.45 (4500kg, 16.4m).
