A Weidemann fleet, which rarely stands still.

Four Hoftracs are in constant use at Europe’s largest caravan dealer.

Within an exhibition area of 45,000 m² at the Caravan Center Bocholt, visitors can get plenty of inspiration for their next holiday with a caravan or a mobile home. More than 450 vehicles are exhibited at the centre; as a result, customers have a vast selection. 

1,800 vehicles sold per year.

Managing Director Benedikt Thielkes runs the family business with his brother and sister. They employ over 120 employees and their caravan centre is open to visitors 365 days a year. Since the covid-19 pandemic, the company has experienced a huge increase in interested individuals; as a result, around 1,800 vehicles are sold a year. A total of 40 hire vehicles are available to those who would rather hire than buy.

Weidemann in daily service.

10 years ago, the first Hoftrac 1140 came to market. Over the course of time, three more Hoftracs of the machine model 1280 quickly followed. The machines were primarily used for manoeuvring and transporting caravans on the premises. The compact and manoeuvrable farm loader is perfectly suited to these applications. The machines are fitted with a car trailer coupling for this. It is welded to the front couplings by the Weidemann sales partner Pieper Landtechnik. “We don’t move the caravans in any other way any more. We exclusively use our Weide-men,” explains Benedikt Thielkes. In addition to this, the Weidemann machines can be used for winter service and for transporting bark mulch.

Weidemann distributor service is pivotal.

“We are very satisfied with the Weide-men. If we need another machine, then we will go for red again,” says the owner. “However, the decision for purchase is also dependent on the service on site. The service provided by our Weidemann distributor Pieper Landtechnik is very important to us. We need a strong partner and we’ve found this in Pieper,” explains Benedikt Thielkes satisfied.
