KANGA – SAVING TIME, MAKING YOU MONEY
CHRIS BERRY TALKS WITH LEWIS MESSENGER OF WIGTON
Lewis’ work today encompasses a wide
range of fencing tasks from stock fencing,
including post and rail, security fencing
and an increasing share of the housing
estate market. He puts up all manner
of fencing from timber to steel.
After reading about the impact KANGA
loaders have had for other fencers
and landscapers right across the UK,
Cumbria-based Lewis Messenger felt
he just had to find out what all the
fuss was about. He very soon found
out and has been overwhelmed with
just how well his new KANGA TK216
has performed in the relatively short
time since he started using it.
‘I read about the KANGA compact
skid steer loaders in recent issues of
the Fencing News magazine and was
very impressed with what the other
owners had said about them,’ says
Lewis. ‘I just had to see for myself
how good they were and I arranged
for a demonstration. As soon as I tried
it out I knew it would be ideal for my
business and I bought the TK216 model
in October. I have already used it on
a variety of jobs and it has certainly
saved me considerable time and is
making me money.’
Kanga’s claim that their machine has
changed the face of the workplace
for many industries is borne out by
the way in which it has transformed

‘Machines like the KANGA really do
make a difference when you’re trying
to make a living out of a business.
Anything that saves time on one job
helps you to do even better in the future.
That’s what it is already doing for me.’
Lewis’ business.
‘The KANGA TK216 is now an essential
part of my work. I use it nearly every
day and it is great for digging holes and
carrying whatever load we need for a job
whether that is concrete or timber. It is a
very robust and highly effective machine
with the size and manoeuvrability to
get into nearly anywhere. It has been
the best purchase I have made. I am
getting jobs completed far quicker than
fencing news December 2010
I ever could before. I don’t think I could
manage without it right now.’
Lewis’ business trades as LM Messenger
and his main trade is in fencing, although
he also combines tree work with this.
After leaving school he first became a
tree surgeon before starting out as a
part-time worker with a fencing company.
He then moved on to a bigger wage
working full-time for another fencing
company before going it alone.
Lewis is one of the youngest fencing
and tree work men around. Just turned
20 he also has a full-time man working
with him too. He operates from his
home town of Wigton in North West
Cumbria and covers the whole of West
Cumbria from Carlisle to the coast and
down to Kendal.
