CANNINGS NEWS AND EVENTS
December 2008 Demo Day at Cannings Saturday 6th December 2008 - 8am to 3.30pm Door prize - Stihl BG65 Blower to be given away on the day. Up to 25% off retail prices - 10% off all Stihl units. Hourly log milling demonstrations. Rope splicing and tree bracing demonstrations by Scott Sharpe. Technicians available to answer general maintenance questions.
October 2008 John and Stuart Canning visited Papua New Guinea and Singapore in a whirlwind double header over a period of 1 week. The trip to meet with Stihl - Singapore, the first of hopefully many, where Stuart and John were warmly welcomed and very grateful for the opportunity to meet and show Cannings range of Yale Ropes and Granberg products. As seen in the photos the milling demonstration went extremely well and the colouration in the wood milled on the day was magnificent.
The objective of the trip to Papua New Guinea was to showcase the Granberg mill at the annual Morobe Show Day in Lae. The Granberg Mill range is being used extensively in Papua New Guinea with strong sales continuing to be seen throughout the region. The new Stihl chainsaw carry pack was introduced to the market during this trip and it is expected to be a great success in PNG, it offers the ability for loggers to carry their saws into remote areas with ease. Pictures for both events can be viewed here. Both Stuart and John thank their hosts in Singapore and Papua New Guinea for the chance to meet and form new relationships and look forward to seeing everyone again on the next visit.
January 2008 The new uniquely coloured Blue Tongue® range of ropes have been released. Blue Tongue® Climbing Line Made out of premium grade polyester this 24 strand climbing line has been made for exceptional performance through mechanical ascent/ descent devices as well as the traditional Arborist climbing techniques. The 11.7mm diameter provides the perfect balance between the weight of 11mm line and the feel of 13mm line. Blue Tongue® Access Line The unique blend of Technora and Spectra provides the perfect balance of strength, weight, heat resistance and elastic elongation. The 24 strand polyester cover provides superior abrasion resistance compared to other brands of access line available today. It has extremely low stretch properties with 0.18% at 250kg, which provides the climber with almost 100% energy efficiency. Blue Tongue® Static Life Rescue Line Comprising a unique construction of a 48 strand Polyester cover and a braided Nylon core Yale Kernmaster offers handling and performance never before available in a Static Life Rescue Line.
