Blown away by gold at Royal Cornwall

Cornish Inventor Reveals Bag Lifter at The Royal Cornwall 2012 and wins gold.

David Carbis, owner, receives Gold Award.

Trenona Limited were almost “blown away” by winning this year’s Machinery Competition – Gold Medal Award for the Trenona Bag Lifter.

Despite the horrendous weather conditions on the first day of the show Trenona soldiered on, strapped their stand down to the Trenona Bale Handler and the Trenona Bag Lifter which luckily was attached to a Schaffer Loader therefore providing the much needed weight to keep them on the ground. Just as they were preparing to “batten down the hatches” and “abandon ship” for the day, a gentleman sporting a bowler hat arrived on the stand bearing Gold!

David Carbis, owner of Trenona Limited says “it’s all been a bit of roller coaster really and I am amazed at how well my Bag Lifter has been received within the UK Agricultural market, fantastic, and winning Gold at the Royal Cornwall has been the icing on the cake”.

Trenona Limited can be found exhibiting on stand 529 from the 7th to the 9th of June 2012, so come along and say hello.

The Trenona Bag Lifter is also entered in this year’s CLA Members Inventions Prize Draw. For further information contact sales@trenona.co.uk or telephone 01872 248182 www.trenona.co.uk
