TUTT BRYANT

From little things, big things grow

Armed with an idea and a mere £500, Leo Edward Tutt joined forces with Edward Bryant in 1943 and started an empire that is now one of Australia’s largest construction equipment sales, manufacturing, and distribution companies – Tutt Bryant Limited.

No stranger to entrepreneurial flair, the FUCHS Lubricants brand story begins in a similar way, one young man, a bicycle, an oil can, and an idea which has grown into the largest independent lubricants manufacturer in the world.  With such similar histories, it is no mere coincidence that these two brands now work together to service the $360B construction industry in Australia.

With an extensive fleet of construction equipment from the world’s best manufacturers, ranging from excavators right up to 1600t capacity cranes across 27 sites nationally, Tutt Bryant offers both sales and hire solutions to suit any sized construction business.  But the relationship with their customers doesn’t end there.   With conveniently located services centres, Tutt Bryant also offers fixed price servicing and maintenance packages and have partnered with FUCHS as their exclusive lubricants supplier to ensure their customers remain happy for many years to come.

This all begins with a grease kit that is gifted with each new sale that includes a grease gun and a cartridge of FUCHS grease RENOLIT POLIPLEX 2.  “High quality grease is vital for civil equipment” explains Daniel Walker, Service Manager at Tutt Bryant.  “By supplying RENOLIT POLIPLEX 2 with each new piece of equipment we sell, we are ensuring that the customer is introduced to the right product to protect and maintain their asset from the very beginning.” “We have confidence in the FUCHS brand and have seen firsthand through our Service Centres that RENOLIT POLIPLEX 2 is the best product for the job”.  Providing extended service intervals, RENOLIT POLIPLEX 2 is an off-white tacky grease that stays in place during heavy rain and equipment cleaning.  It also prevents dirt from getting in on hot and dusty days, keeping the equipment in top condition and minimising downtime. 

Achieving servicing intervals of up to 5,000hrs, FUCHS RENOLIN B 46 HVI PLUS is an anti-wear style hydraulic oil that provides greater energy efficiency as compared with a standard hydraulic oil.   With a wide temperature range, RENOLIN B 46 HVI PLUS also provides consistent performance regardless of the operating conditions.   To add to these performance benefits, RENOLIN B 46 HVI PLUS is suitable for ISO 32, ISO 46 and ISO 68, consolidating workshop inventory and thanks to it easily identifiable blue colour, checking the fluid level is easy.

In addition to quality lubricants, Tutt Bryant is also looking for a supplier that has a sustainable ethos making FUCHS the perfect partner.  Since 2020, FUCHS has been CO₂-neutral ("gate-to-gate") with all its production subsidiaries with a plan to offer CO₂-neutral products ("cradle to gate") by 2025 through the use of renewable energy across its manufacturing plants globally.
