SMT GB exhibited at LAMMA for the first time this year which took place 17–18 January at the East of England Showground in Peterborough. LAMMA is the UK’s largest farm machinery, equipment and agricultural services show attracting around 40,000 visitors across two days.
Volvo wheeled loaders are now available in versions adapted for agriculture with a focus on what a farmer needs and so SMT GB presented the L70H and L25F wheeled loaders at the event. The L70H was fitted to an agricultural specification with an Ulrich folding grass fork attachment. In addition, SMT GB also showcased the Volvo EC140E excavator, complete with Steelwrist attachment, an EC15D fitted with a PRODEM breaker, an EC18D fitted with a Harford landscaping rake and ECR50D fitted with a PRODEM Selector Grab.
The SMT GB team embraced the cold weather on the Wednesday morning and were ready to greet visitors as the sun rose and the show opened at 7.30am. There was a steady stream of visitors to the SMT GB stand throughout the bright but chilly day with the L70H proving to be the star attraction, drawing enquiries for much of the day.
Unfortunately, extreme winds tore through the site overnight on 17 January causing damage to the stands and day two of the show was cancelled for Health and Safety reasons. Thankfully there was no damage to the SMT GB stand or any of the machines and despite the second day being cancelled the SMT GB team had a positive time at LAMMA.
