Barlow Earthmoving chooses Metso & Tutt Bryant Equipment
Barlow Earthmoving is a privately owned family business, founded by Mr Robert Barlow in 1964 and specialising in earthmoving and civil works. Celebrating their 50th Anniversary, the company has grown considerably from its inception with an underlying ethos of customer focus and on-time delivery remaining a constant throughout the years. Barlow’s now is operated by Robert’s two sons Jeffrey and Stewart Barlow from their base located 10km west of the township of Emu Park, near Rockhampton. Over its 50 year history, Barlow’s has maintained a successful reputation of delivering earthworks and private subdivisional projects regionally and to Defence site works in the Shoal Water Bay facility.
Barlow provides a full range of earthmoving equipment in the form of excavators, scrapers, dozers, graders, rollers, articulated dump trucks and side tippers. Over the company’s development, it has diversified its offerings to include a hard rock quarry and sand lease at Tanby which has facilitated the need for mobile crushing and screening capability. When entering the mobile crushing market, Barlow’s were careful in deciding on equipment and trialled various machines. Following their evaluation period, Barlow’s engaged Tutt Bryant Equipment who operate as Australia’s exclusive distributor of Metso mobile crushing and screening equipment. Their decision was to utilise Metso equipment due to its build quality and high levels of availability provided by the IC units. Barlow’s state their 90% availability has ensured the lowest production cost. Barlow’s’ Metso fleet has grown to include a LT106 jaw, two LT200HP cones, LT7150 Barmac, ST272 Scalper, ST3.8 & ST4.8 screens. Stewart advised “The Tutt Bryant Equipment back up support of our Metso gear has been second to none. The support we have received is unbelievable and if there are any issues, they are dealt with promptly and professionally”
Barlow Earthmoving also provides Contract Crushing services to various clients in Central Queensland when their existing workload allows. Jeffrey Barlow recommends Metso products “Tutt Bryant Equipment’s Metso’s are not as expensive as you think. You may pay a little more but you need to be thinking 5-10 yrs down the road, a Metso will pay for itself, cost you less money, provide higher availability and huge cost savings. Also, the back-up is top class!”
