As we develop new products, we realize it can be hard for our customers to visualize exactly how a product works. This could not be more true for products like Heartland. To give our customers an up-close look at practical and productive uses of our equipment, we hosted our first Tree Care Summit this fall.
In partnership with Arborwear, the day and a half event took place in Chagrin Falls, OH, a central location for our customers across the United States. Altec had products on-site for both viewing and demoing, including:
- AC38-127S
- AF1360 MPS
- DRM12he (Engineless Chipper)
- EC-175-5S-FG (Heartland)
- EC-225-6S-FG (Heartland)
- Effer 505 (Heartland)
- Effer 655 (Heartland)
- JT75
- ST550 Spray Truck
- Serco 8500 Log Loader Crane
“To have our customers at the event to see the products in use was extremely beneficial for them,” says Andy Price, Altec Tree Care Market Manager. “For example, outside of product videos, most of our customers had never seen the Heartland unit take down a tree. At the Tree Care Summit, they had an opportunity to operate the controls to see how easy it can be to take down a tree completely by way of a remote control.”
The next Tree Care Summit may be coming to a town near you! Be on the lookout for announcements on where the next event will take place.
