Keltec is based in Kilmallock, Co Limerick, and provides a wide range of design, development and manufacturing services for the agricultural industry.

Keltec produces a wide array of agricultural equipment including bale grabs, handlers, bale chasers and their popular bale slice and trailing shoe slurry systems which can be retrofitted to both new and existing tankers.

At Grass & Muck this year, Keltec will be unveiling their patented wrap app, which is an addition to their bale chasing range. This product acts as a guidance system to assist in the loading of wrapped bales that are not in the correct loading position without damaging the film.

This is done by positioning guide rollers at the mouth of the ring to roll bales into the correct position, therefore greatly increasing the speed at which wrapped bales can be loaded without damage to the film. This option is available for all 2016 chasers.

The Keltec Self Loading Bale Transporter is available in two sizes – an eight pack and a 10 pack. The eight pack comes fitted with a single high-speed axle while the 10 pack is fitted with a high-speed double axle bogey system. Keltec claims that the 10 pack is capable of transporting up to 72 bales per hour on a 1km trip, while the smaller eight pack is capable of doing up to 60 bales per hour.
