DELIVERY

Carrs Fertilisers can arrange delivery of their products to customer's premises or, in the case of forestry fertilisers, to a pre-determined forest location through a nationwide network of professional hauliers and couriers.

Forestry fertilisers are delivered by Ferguson (Transport) Ltd. of Spean Bridge who, as one of the UK's leading timber hauliers, understands the particularly demanding requirements of making deliveries up forest roads. Ferguson's have built up a fleet of specialised vehicles for forest roads and have a range of off-loading equipment, which can cope with big bags and pallets alike.

SPREADING

Carrs Fertilisers can arrange helicopter spreading of fertiliser or laying out of 25 kg bags through PDG Helicopters who operate a fleet of specialised aircraft, specifically designed for aerial spreading and have unrivalled experience in aerial forestry operations in the UK and Ireland.

PDG Helicopters have pioneered the use of GIS satellite navigation systems. GIS greatly assists the pilot in avoiding over flying environmentally sensitive areas such as streams and rivers and in applying the fertiliser evenly and accurately.

ALL-IN SERVICE

Through their long associations with Ferguson Transport and PDG Helicopters, together with their Technical Services (see below), Carrs Fertilisers can offer forestry customers a comprehensive, one-stop-shop aerial fertiliser service. This package can include advice as to the best product to use, the provision of the fertiliser, delivery and off-loading to site, aerial application and a GIS print out of the spreading with customers being invoiced on an inclusive £ per hectare basis.

This complete package is becoming increasingly popular as customers see and appreciate the benefits in releasing their own valuable time by utilising the management and operational expertise of Carrs Fertilisers, Ferguson Transport and PDG Helicopters.
