“We take great pride in the quality of our machinery and stand over everything we sell. Everything comes with a 12-month warranty,” Niall says.
“We’ve earned an enviable reputation for quality over the past 20 years. We often give our customers a mini tour of our workshop to show them how our products are made and shot-blasted. We deliver the perfect mix of high quality, functionality and innovation with our products.
“While many of our products are sold through reputable dealers nationwide, I prefer a one-to-one relationship with the customer. It’s great if a farmer or contractor comes in to collect the trailer themselves. That way, I can go through everything with them and give them 45 minutes on the maintenance and upkeep of the product, and run through how to take good care of it. If you keep it well, it will serve you well.”
Scully Trailers provide farmers with a complete range of products for bale handling – from its well-tested elephant trucks to RSA-approved trailers. The Co. Kerry manufacturer’s range of trailers include bale trailers, bale trailers with hydraulic sides, dumper trailers, galvanised livestock trailers, livestock trailers, multipurpose trailers and bespoke designed trailers.
