The deal was concluded under difficult conditions during the hard lockdown. According to Wayne van der Walt, Goskor’s Lephalale branch manager, Phaphanyi Trading is happy with the acquisition and is looking to acquire a Sany front-end loader next. “The SY750 itself is an especially rugged and durable excavator ideal for this arduous application,” says Van der Walt.
The SY750 has an operating weight of 76t. It uses well-known components such as an Isuzu engine for maximum fuel economy and Kawasaki components for optimum hydraulic flow. “It is a very important part of the Sany strategy to source only the best and most cost-effective parts for its equipment,” adds van der Walt.
Goscor Earthmoving Equipment Lephalale offers turnkey solutions, from financing to service contracts. “We are a one-stop shop, which is a major advantage for our Limpopo customers,” highlights van der Walt. Being based in the area allows for a faster turnaround time for any technical or service queries, which minimises breakdown time and increases both uptime and productivity. In addition, the Lephalale branch has a comprehensive stockholding of essential spares.
“This proves the value of our proposition to our customers even in the toughest of times,” notes van der Walt. “The sale of such a large machine in a fairly remote location is a huge feat for us and a major advertisement for the Sany brand in the region. The fact that we were able to conclude this deal smoothly during the lockdown is also testament to how we ensured business continuity during this difficult period,” he concludes.
