Lewis Construction Equipment Supply LiuGong Wheel Loaders to Leading South Australian Companies

WINGFIELD, Australia - June 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Australia’s leading LiuGong dealer, Lewis Construction Equipment, based in Adelaide, have recently supplied two South Australian companies working in the mining industry in the Cooper Basin with wheel loaders from the CLG856 series.  Stirling Transport and Stirling Contracting, from Blyth in South Australia’s mid-north, have both recently purchased LiuGong CLG856 series wheel loaders to use in their work on the Moomba and Innamincka gas and oil fields.

The companies, whose work involves moving oil and gas rigs on the fields, needed machines that were able to work in remote, isolated conditions, and so chose LiuGong wheel loaders as being the most robust, productive and economical solution.

“LiuGong CLG856 wheel loaders are ideal for working in a mining environment because of their exceptional durability and reliability, and because they’re machines that are simple to operate and maintain. When you’re working that far from civilisation you don’t want a complicated machine, because it’s only going to burn a hole in your pocket if it breaks down in the middle of nowhere,” said Dylan Caldwell, of Lewis Construction Equipment.  “They’re capable of working for long hours, day after day, with minimal maintenance, which means extremely high rates of productivity, a real hallmark of LiuGong’s wheel loader range.”

The productivity and durability of LiuGong CLG856 wheel loaders is due largely to their high-quality engine and transmission technology.  They are fitted with Cummins engines and ZF transmissions, and this proven technology means that their reliability is also accompanied by fuel efficiency.

Dylan Caldwell added, “Another reason why contractors working in the mining industry choose LiuGong machines is because they’re flexible and adaptable.  We supply a hydraulic quick hitch, general purpose 3.0m3 bucket, a set of pallet forks and an extendable jib as part of our package, which means these machines are equipped for mining work such as levelling site pads for rigs and loading and unloading drill pipes.”

Lewis Construction Equipment also provides their customers with exceptional back-up, due to their close and long-standing working relationship with LiuGong.  “We can offer really high-quality service and support, and a rapid supply of parts, which is extremely important for our customers working in remote places like the Cooper Basin,” said Dylan Caldwell.

Australian companies are also opting for LiuGong because the CLG856 series of wheel loaders are extremely competitively priced, with Lewis Construction Equipment being able to supply a CLG856 for significantly less than you might pay for a similar machine from other leading makers, but which outperforms its rivals in the same price range.  

“Our customers in the mining industry all want high levels of productivity, durability, ease of maintenance and affordability in their equipment, and we’re able to provide this in LiuGong CLG856 wheel loaders, “said Dylan Caldwell.  “That’s why they’re the stand-out choice for companies such as Stirling Contracting and Stirling Transport, who work in isolated mining environments and rely on their machines being able to work hard every day.”
