Tutt Bryant: Asphalt royalty rolling into town

Tutt Bryant has supplied world-class compaction technology to the Australian market since 1986. With new devices coming online, there is a new king of the road.

Having worked with Tutt Bryant Equipment for some 18 years, including the last nine as National Business Development Manager for exclusive brands BOMAG/Gehl/Lintec-Linnhoff, John Glossat is eager to always bring high-quality products to the market.

“As a company, we are excited about the opportunities that have arisen in partnership with all our original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). This is in addition to our internal and external reviews, which have created unique insights into the business and our key industries,” says Glossat.

Tutt Bryant is now ready to expand into the Road Asphalt and Infrastructure segment even further, being already a successful and well-known supplier of single and double drum rollers.

Glossat says, “Our TBE Team is working overtime to increase its parts holdings and service support to give the confidence to our end users to support their business efficiently and promptly.

“It’s worth noting that BOMAG has now established local, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) support systems,” he says. “That means we can quickly combat any issues that might arise in a collaborative partnership.”

Asphalt industry

The role of Tutt Bryant asphalt champions and advocates from every state has been critical for the development of the company’s corporate network across Australia. The champions recently returned to BOMAG headquarters for in-depth factory application training. The goal was to help the champions promote the new features through first-hand experience rather than just reading some brochures.

“Tutt Bryant understands that there is more to the relationship with our customers than merely signing on the dotted line,” Glossat says. “We want to be long-term partners with our customers, and that comes from providing high-quality support.”

Tutt Bryant works with its overseas partners to bring innovative, world-class machines to its customers.

“We like to say that asphalt is running in our veins,” says Glossat. “Tutt Bryant recently signed an exclusive contract with Lintec Linnhoff to provide our customers with new ways to improve their asphalt plants. We can offer that support year-round and are a supplier that always strives to provide the best support possible.”

Glossat is particularly excited about the new machines coming into Australia, the first of which is the BOMAG BF 200 C-2.

“It is compact, strong, and reliable,” he says. “The small machines from BOMAG know their trade just as well as their big brothers. It’s perfect for narrow paths, next to walls or between buildings. This versatility makes the BF 200 C-2 compact paver a first-class tool.”

This compact paver has a minimum paving width of just 1.1 metres, making it ideal for tight spaces. It is also lighter and narrower than other pavers, so it fits on any truck.

“That’s fewer rollouts to get machines to a site, which is ultimately better for the environment,” Glossat says. “There’s no time wasted when relocating, which means it gets more use, more often.”

BF 300 P-2

The other compact device coming into Australia for the first time is the BF 300 P-2 city paver. It features a powerful yet economical 55 kilowatt (kW) engine that operates within ECOMODE engine management. ECOMODE saves up to 20 per cent fuel and emits far less noise.

“It also features the MAGMALIFE heating elements,” says Glossat.

“All the heating rods are cast into one aluminium block. The heat-up time is significantly shorter because of the metal’s excellent thermal conductivity, so the paver and team are ready for operation more quickly. It can cater for most general paving jobs, with a laying width of up to five metres.”
