Cyril Johnston secures Schäffer distributorship for the UK and Ireland

Northern Ireland based Cyril Johnston and Company Ltd has secured the UK and Ireland distributorship for Schaffer’s range of wheel loaders and telescopic handlers. Cyril Johnston has been successfully working with Schaffer in Ireland for more than two years.

‘’We are excited by the opportunity to be involved with such an excellent product in this sector which has an excellent reputation for quality and service. Schaffer has over 50 years experience in the design and building of loaders. The loaders are characterised by the world renowned German commitment to the highest engineering standards,” confirmed Cyril Johnston’s business development manager Warren Bell
“Each model has ‘all-pivot steer’, making them extremely versatile in the tightest of spots.”

There are over 40 models with a range from 27 hp to 177 hp, which are suitable for a number of applications within agriculture, grounds care and construction. Some of the most popular models have included the 900T (100 hp) and 930T (130 hp). Both have a lifting height 5.25m and a lifting capacity of 2.6 kg and 2.8 kg respectively.

The larger machines feature a water cooled Deutz Turbo Diesel engine. Both the 900T and 930T will prove attractive on commercial livestock and arable farms. The smaller models feature a water cooled Kubota engine. These will prove attractive to owners of equestrian establishments, smaller farm businesses and other businesses such as garden centres / nurseries, etc.

“Schaffer is a proven product range and customers know they are getting an excellent product and real value for money,” concluded Warren Bell. “On the back of our experience with Schäffer to date, we are expecting strong sales during the period ahead. As a result, we are actively seeking to appoint new dealers in specific geographic locations across the UK and Ireland.
