LiftRite Hire and Sales has become the Kobelco dealer for Western Australia, with Loadex withdrawing from this market.
LiftRite was founded in 1983 to provide materials handling solutions to the construction, mining and agricultural industries, and also operate in the compact construction equipment market.
While LiftRite has handled compact equipment, it is no stranger to large equipment, with some of the materials handling equipment that it carries having capacities of over 50 tonnes.
“With the size of our workshop and the three overhead cranes, we could handle 12 of the largest excavators Kobelco makes at one time,” said LiftRite Sales Director, Jack Przytula.
The support isn’t just in the facilities, Jack is proud that around 60 percent of the LiftRite staff is involved in service and support, and there are 12 service vehicles in the fleet.
Technicians and sales staff will be undergoing training in Kobelco equipment, including the new Kobelco Generation 10 excavators. General Manager – Sales and Service for Kobelco, Doug McQuinn, says the Western Australian market is bouncing back, and looks forward to taking this next step with LiftRite.
“Kobelco is proud to be partnering with LiftRite as they build their presence in the excavator market. With a reputation in Western Australia for outstanding service and reliability, it’s a natural partnership fit for both Kobelco and LiftRite,” says McQuinn.
