At Garden Center Coppelmans in Valkenswaard, experience and sustainability go hand in hand. The completely renovated building on Nieuwe Waalreseweg is completely CO2-neutral with 1,900 solar panels and an advanced heat pump system. In this modern setting, which with 10,000 m² of garden inspiration is directly adjacent to the beautiful Dommel valley. For the versatile operations of the store, father Ad and son Bas Coppelmans have therefore chosen the (old) demo machine: Ahlmann AS600.
The Ahlmann AS600 is used widely: from sorting store stock and greenery maintenance around the terrace to building the impressive Christmas show the establishment is known for. Thanks to the construction of the demo machine, it came with an additional oil pump, ideal for current loading and unloading work, but also technically prepared for work with a future hedge trimmer.
The Technique
In order for the machine to be optimally prepared for future expansions, one with a very specific technical construction was chosen. Because it is an old demo machine, it was delivered with an additional oil pump. This ensures that the machine can effortlessly control attachments and require a constant oil flow. Thanks to this modularity, the machine can be used in the easily with, for example, a sweeper or a hedge trimmer. In addition, the machine comes with a bucket and a set of pallet forks. This Ahlmann AS600 thus forms the perfect, future-proof link within this sustainable establishment.
