Sanli products to be distributed by Handy Distribution Ltd and Tucks O’Brien Ltd

Sanli lawnmowers and garden products will be distributed in the UK and Ireland exclusively via two major distributors from 1st October 2013, it has been announced.

Handy Distribution Ltd will become the exclusive distributor for Sanli products in England, Scotland and Wales, while Tucks O’Brien Ltd will become responsible for distribution for Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Meanwhile, Sanli (UK) Ltd will become the Technical, Spares and Warranty Centre for Europe at its base in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.

“As far as our dealers and trade customers are concerned, it’s virtually business as usual. Margins remain unchanged, and our trading style and marketing activity will be unaltered,” said Simon Del-Nevo, managing director of Sanli (UK) Ltd.

“Having established the brand in the UK in recent years, this is the next step in the future of Sanli. Both Handy Distribution Ltd and Tucks O’Brien have well-established and well-developed infrastructures and I am pleased to announce that they will be exclusive distributors for Sanli in their respective areas.”

The Sanli European Technical, Spares and Warranty Centre will be managed by Claire Morris and Mark Winfield will continue his role as technical services manager.

Simon, who will become vice president for sales and marketing in Europe, said the move was part of a wider plan by parent company the S&C Engine Company to focus investment in new product development in the garden machinery division. New products will be introduced to the range in the near future.

“These product ranges will then be marketed by a series of exclusive distributors appointed to handle key markets. This process has already happened in France, and the UK and Irish market will be the next to go through such a change,” he added.

Sanli, which sells a range of good-value, high-specification petrol lawnmowers and other gardening equipment including brush cutters, chainsaws, hedge cutters, blowers and generators, supplies almost 200 dealers across the UK.

Handy Distribution is based in Swindon, Wiltshire, while Tucks O’Brien has its headquarters in Dublin.

SANLI (UK) Ltd launches three new lawnmowers in the UK

Sanli LSP514

Lawnmower specialist SANLI (UK) Ltd has launched three new models to the UK market.

The manufacturer, which produces a range of mowers and gardening equipment, has expanded its collection with the introduction of the LS4135, the LSP4135 and the LSP514.

Designed as superb value petrol mowers for smaller lawns, the LSP4135 and the LS4135 both have a cutting width of 41cm (16 inches), a 50 litre collection bag and a two stroke 118cc petrol engine 3.5hp/2.3kW.

They feature effortless central height adjustment and five different cutting heights, with a cutting height range of 27mm to 72mm. With decks made of treated steel, both models weigh 27.5kg – allowing easy manoeuvrability for gardeners.

Special introductory suggested selling prices (SSP) which represent outstanding value for machines that feature central height adjustment and treated steel decks are available on both machines for a limited period.

The LSP4135, a self-propelled mower, has an introductory SSP of £199.99 (usual RRP £219.99), while the LS4135, a push mower, has an introductory SSP of £149.99 (usual RRP £169.99).

Meanwhile, the larger LSP514 model is great for rougher ground and informal gardens. It has efficient rear wheel power drive for smooth self propulsion and large rear wheels for uneven and rougher lawns.

Billed as a four-in-one petrol rotary mower, it offers gardeners four different options for dealing with clippings:
•cut and collect in a 60 litre collection bag
•cut and drop from the rear
•cut and mulch
•cut and side eject

The model has a cutting width of 51cm (20 inches), easy-to-use central cutting height adjustment and ten different cutting heights suitable for a range of 25mm to 90mm.

With a larger engine of 163cc (5.5hp/4.1kW), the LSP514 has a quick release foldable handle and a deck made of treated steel.

Weighing 40kg, the model has a RRP of £399.99, and has recently been the subject of a social media competition on Facebook to raise awareness of the Sanli brand. The competition proved such a success that a second competition – to win a LSP4135 - is now being run.

"These three new Sanli models enable our dealers to offer key features such as central height adjustment and treated steel decks at price points that represent incredibly good value and which are proving attractive to consumers. That's absolutely what we do - well-engineered, reliable lawnmowers at truly outstanding value for money for our trade dealers and their customers alike," said Sanli (UK) Ltd managing director Simon Del-Nevo.

All Sanli mowers come with a one-year warranty for consumers, with a free second year warranty that’s dependant on registration online at www.sanli.co.uk , with the exception of commercial use which has a warranty of 90 days from purchase.

Sanli, which also sells brush cutters, chainsaws, hedge cutters, blowers and generators, supplies almost 200 dealers across the UK. It prides itself on offering a professional Sanli helpline to customers, which is a valuable selling point for its products.

Its website www.sanli.co.uk has been designed to act as a resource for Sanli lawnmower owners, and features useful gardening and mowing information and advice, owner’s manuals and safety sheets, details about offers, product registration, as well as a ‘find a dealer’ search facility.
