Barford Equipment to enter US market
Two new track-mounted screeners to be previewed then auctioned by Yoder & Frey
BARFORD Equipment, the UK-based manufacturers of mobile screeners, trailers, screenboxes, and wheeled and tracked conveyors, are to enter the US market this year with the launch of two new track mounted screeners – the SR124 and the S104.
The company will be using Yoder & Frey auctioneers to preview both of the new mobile screeners to the US market at their upcoming 2018 spring sale in Kissimmee, Florida (from 13–17 February). Both models will then each be sold at the auction, without reserve, to the highest bidders.
‘The world’s construction machinery, aggregate, quarrying and mining markets will all be focusing on the Kissimmee auction, so this is a great opportunity for us to meet potential distributors and probable buyers, and gauge the appeal of both our new machines,’ explained Stephen Murphy, distribution manager for the Barford product range.
‘Barford is a well-known brand in the UK and across Europe, having built an enviable reputation and possessing a long and illustrious history, but it is currently relatively unknown in the US market; but that’s about to change.
‘Yoder & Frey are well known for organizing prestigious equipment auctions that draw the attention of the types of buyers we are looking for and are the ideal match for us entering this sector.’
The two Barford models being launched in the US are: the SR124 (pictured), a tracked three-way-split screener with a 12ft x 4ft screenbox that fits into a 40ft HC container; and the S104 a tracked three-way-split screener with a 10ft x 4ft screen box that again fits into a 40ft HC container.
The 400 tonnes/h capacity SR124 is built around a Caterpillar power unit, whilst the 250 tonnes/h capacity S104 is available with either a JCB or a Deutz engine.
‘We are delighted to include both these new Barford screener models at our upcoming Kissimmee auction and are confident that the US market will embrace these excellent value-for-money machines,’ said Peter Clark, founder and chief executive officer of Yoder & Frey.
