Brandt named exclusive
American Augers dealer
for Canada
The Brandt Group of Companies has announced
that they have been named the
exclusive dealer for American Augers and
their Trencor subsidiary brand across Canada.
American Augers has been a fixture in
the underground utilities and pipeline industry
across North America for more than
50 years. Adding the full line of American
Augers and Trencor products to Brandt’s
existing Ditch Witch offering improves
Canadian support and distribution for a
comprehensive lineup of underground
construction equipment – the largest in
the industry.
“The addition of these lines is an important
step for Brandt and the Canadian drilling
industry,” said Brandt president and
CEO Shaun Semple. “It means that contractors
can now get the biggest, most powerful
equipment for any job from one dealer.”
Canadian contractors will now have easier
access to the largest equipment available,
from auger boring machines with up
to 1.2 million lb. of maximum thrust, to
CNW GROUP/BRANDT TRACTOR LTD. industry-leading directional drills with up
to 100,000 ft-lb. of maximum torque.
The two companies’ shared commitment
to maximizing customer uptime has resulted
in a 24/7 support network.
“With American Augers’ and Trencor’s
premium-quality products and Brandt’s exceptional
dealership and parts warehouse
infrastructure, Canadian contractors can
expect better-than-ever uptime to keep
them digging, even in the toughest conditions,”
said Van Wall, Brandt Tractor’s vice
president of sales.
