| Q: |
The E
approval has been required of towbars as of the beginning
of 2007? What are its effects? |
| A: |
It
only affects type approval and the technical inspection
conducted by manufacturers. All Farmi-made towbars have
already passed the tests, and have EU approval. |
| |
|
| Q: |
Is VAT included
in the prices? |
| A: |
Yes,
all prices include VAT. |
| |
| Q: |
How long is your warranty? |
| A: |
Unlimited
2-year warranty. |
| |
| Q: |
Why
do you issue a warranty that is one year longer than that
of other manufacturers ? |
| A: |
We feel that a deal of this value
simply must withstand use for a minimum of 2 years, including
all wearing parts. |
|
|
| Q: |
How long are your delivery times? |
| A: |
Most
of our models are available at store and registered – some
of them even with the canopy in place. |
| |
| Q: |
How
many trailers do you manufacture per year? |
| A: |
We
manufactured some 2200 trailers in 2006. |
| |
| Q: |
Where
do you operate? |
| A: |
We
have two manufacturing facilities at Nurmijärvi village in
Finland. For driving instructions, see http://www.farmi.com/driving_instructions.htm

| Q: |
Do
you have resellers? |

| |
| Q: |
What
are the benefits of your trailers? |
| A: |
See
the list of customers who have examined our trailers thoroughly
and then decided to by one >> referenssit |
| |
| Q: |
Are
your trailers type-approved? |
| A: |
Almost
all the models are. Special trailers are inspected separately
according to customer requirements. Also in Europe before
EU type 2008 |
| |
| Q: |
Why
do you not advertise a non-corrosion warranty? |
| A: |
It
is not necessary, because everybody knows that galvanized
steel will endure decades of use without corroding. If ask,
we can give 30 years. |
| |
| Q: |
What
makes your trailers superior to others? |
| A: |
Several
details. We are happy to compare our trailers with any other
make. There really are differences. |
| |
| Q: |
Are
there any other high-quality trailers in Finland? |
| A: |
Yes!
Majava, for instance, makes reliable trailers, though with
a different technology, and the former Lewo, too, was made
by professionals. |
| |
| Q: |
Are
there really poor trailers on sale in Finland-Europe? |
| A: |
Yes,
but we only want to comment on those that really pose a
danger in traffic. There used to be one dangerous model,
but I think an improved version has already been introduced. |
| |
| Q: |
Why
do you only use Swedish Jaxal canopies? |
| A: |
We
had to warranty-replace too many canopies of another make. |
| |
| Q: |
Why
do you use maintenance-free German KNOTT hubs? |
| A: |
Because
people do not maintain their trailers. Our compact hubs
resemble car hubs in that they do not need any maintenance. |
| |
| Q: |
What
kind of maintenance do your trailers need, then? |
| A: |
The
most common brakeless models do not require any maintenance.
All that the user should do is to tighten the wheels once
and keep the drawhead greased. |
| |
| Q: |
Why
do you use German Jokon lights? |
| A: |
They
have proper plastic support for the lamp (instead of a mere
piece of sheet metal). The part under the lamp is made of
stainless steel, the coupler is splashwater tight, and the
conductor is continuous without any joints. When we use
Jokon lights, we do not have to repair lights under warranty. |
| |
| Q: |
In
most of your models the front light looks fragile. Why? |
| A: |
So
it does, but in fact it is more durable than other light
types. It is placed at the end of a flexible rubber element
so it can be bent and twisted without braking it. Besides,
it does not cause any injury or damage if it hits the customer’s
knee or the vehicle. It also endures rough handling at below
zero temperatures. The manufacturer is again the German
JOKON. |
| |
| Q: |
Why
do most of your models today have parabolic (1-leaf) springs? |
| A: |
Reason
1. Parabolic springs
are only made by reliable spring factories.
Reason 2. A parabolic spring is more flexible
than a 3-leaf spring with a light load and with the trailer
empty. This means that a parabolic springs gives a more
pleasant ride and can take more load than a 3-leaf spring. |
| |
| Q: |
You
advertise watertight bearings on your boat transport trailers.
Do such bearings really exist? |
| A: |
The
general belief until 2004 was that there are no such bearings.
However, a German boat magazine performed a test in which
the bearings were kept in water for 6 weeks. The result
was that the bearing really is watertight. Thus the bearing
now has the text WATER PROOF stamped on it. |
| |
| Q: |
Your
boat transport trailers do not have removable lights. Why? |
| A: |
They
are not needed, because all of our models have a tipper
that according to our customers picks up the boat even from
the lawn if need be (e.g. model V75). Besides, the lights
are located well above the axle so the trailer can be reversed
into water without the lights getting wet. |
| |
| Q: |
What
is the easiest way to lock up the trailer? |
| A: |
By
mounting a padlock onto the drawhead, see picture: simple..
