Toyota Huski the natural choice
for agricultural business
One of NSW’s leading agricultural distribution companies has purchased its first
Toyota Huski skid-steer loader to help ensure reliable and efficient service for its
customers.
Pursehouse Rural chose the ‘top dog’ in the
Toyota skid-steer range, the Huski 5DSK11,
capable of a 900kg operating load capacity
and designed with maximum power to handle
the toughest of applications.
Operated from Pursehouse’s bulk fertiliser and
blending plant near its Quirindi head office,
the Toyota Huski is put to work moving solid
fertiliser as well as blending fertiliser to its
customers’ specific requirements.
The Huski 5SDK11 is the first Toyota skid-
steer loader in Pursehouse’s fleet and was
chosen for its ability to handle a larger payload
than its previous skid-steer loader. Even with
the larger load capabilities, the Huski 5SDK11
still provides excellent dumping ability and
manoeuvrability.
Pursehouse Rural director Rod Roseby said
the decision to buy a Toyota Huski was an
easy one given their existing partnership with
Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA).
“We have proudly used Toyota forklifts for over
15 years, and after a great working relationship
over that time Toyota was the natural choice
when we needed to upgrade our skid-steer
loader,” Mr Roseby said.
“Given our remote locations, Toyota’s
capability to assist us with servicing or
technical advice proved that they are the most
reliable when it comes to giving our business
the best support.”
TMHA Newcastle area sales manager Allan
Peacock said the service it has provided to
Pursehouse throughout their partnership has
made a big difference to its operations.
“We’re happy that TMHA products have been
integral to Pursehouse’s success given how
much the company has grown over the past
decade or so.
“We’re able to send out service technicians
directly to where the machines are located. In
doing so we gain more understanding of their
business, which helps us to help them.
“We know Pursehouse will go from strength
to strength and we’ll be there to add another
Huski to the line-up when they need it!” Mr
Peacock said.
Pursehouse Rural has been supplying the
highest quality agricultural products and
services to regional Australia for 54 years.
Its wide range of rural supplies include
agricultural chemicals, solid and liquid
fertilisers, planting seed, animal health
products and stock feeds, fencing products,

Rema finds hino to be TipTop
Tyre repair specialist Rema Tip Top has taken delivery of its 40th purpose-built Hino
mobile workshop, a record for the industry.
The special purpose units were designed
jointly by the customer and the vehicle supplier
to maximise load carrying capacity over long
distances and in specific applications.
They carry unique rubber and chemical repair
solutions for the automotive, material handling
and surface protection sectors in a Pantech
body that forms a mobile workshop.
The heaviest cargo is a large range of
lead wheel balancing weights which are
strategically loaded to ensure correct weight
distribution over the truck axles.
Headquartered in Germany, Rema Tip Top
began distribution in Australia 60 years ago
this year but took over direct responsibility for
its operations in 1988, before achieving full
national coverage in 1999.
Its clients include some of the country’s largest
tyre distributors and retail outlets as well as
mining and industrial businesses and large
retail complexes.
The success of Rema Tip Top and of its
supply relationship with its vehicle distributor is
increasingly the catchcry of modern business
activity.
“Our reliance is not only on the product but
also on the service offering and shared values
that back our purchase decision,” Rema Tip
Top senior procurement manager Jim Pap
said.
“Our own goal is to ensure the success of our
company through service to our clients. It is
important to partner with companies that share
that goal.
“We formed a long-term relationship with
Hino through its South Australian distributor
CMI Hino and we have grown this business
together,” he said.
Rema Tip Top maintains a varied fleet
according to application in various locations.
Its most common models are the Hino 300
Series 921 High Horsepower and the Hino 500
Series FD ProShift 6 variants.
The turn-key truck operation encompasses
staged servicing schedules to enable the
Rema Tip Top business to maintain its own
high-density customer-service requirements.
Two new Hino purchases by Rema Tip Top
in Perth and Brisbane reinforce the national
focus of both businesses to high standards of
customer service across their networks.
“To be successful we must be able to
guarantee an acceptable benchmark service
level, and to do that we need guarantees from
our business partners,” Mr Pap said.
“The concept has been well known for a long
time, but it is only relatively recently that it has
truly become the essential point of difference
in business relationships.”
