Based in Devon Meadows and Tarwin Lower, Schreurs and Sons is a major grower producing 1,500 acres of celery and 500 acres of leeks annually. In early 2021, they upgraded their leek harvesting operations with the ASA-Lift T-110 PO— a single-row trailed harvester with bin carrier and auto box filling—bringing dramatic changes to productivity and efficiency.

From manual to machine
“Before the ASA-Lift, all our leeks were harvested by hand—up to 15 workers per team. Now we’re harvesting more, regardless of the weather, without increasing labour.” The machine’s performance has consistently impressed, particularly in wet conditions. “Even after two inches of rain, we just keep going. It hasn’t let us down.”

Why ASA-Lift?
ASA-Lift stood out for its reputation, unmatched build quality, and the ability to custom-design a machine to fit their exact needs. “We looked at other options, but nothing compared. It’s exceeded our expectations.”

Support that keeps you moving
Schreurs and Sons also credit the support team from Landpower Vegetable Centre, as a major factor in their success. “We can’t praise them enough. Their expert advice and fast, effective service keep our operations running smoothly.”

The results

Since implementing the ASA-Lift, the farm has seen: reliable harvesting in all weather, reduced labour costs, consistent crop quality and volume and greater capacity to meet demand.

Final word from Adam Schreur – “just buy it,” they recommend. “You’ll get the benefits of a world-class machine, backed by LPVC’s outstanding support.”
