Victorian-based crane distributor Gleason Cranes has announced it is taking stock of a new range of Zoomlion cranes to distribute across Australia.
The new machines available now are hydraulic boom crawler cranes with capacities of up to 30, 60, 90, and 150 tonnes, as well as a full range of truck cranes with extras in the 25 and 55 tonne capacity classes.
Additionally, the Melbourne-based new crane dealer for Zoomlion is also expecting to take stock of a new 120-tonne capacity all-terrain crane, a range of new rough terrain cranes between 40 tonnes and 110 tonnes and new crawler cranes.
Sales Manager at Gleason Cranes Chris Logan says the latest acquisitions are indicative of the company’s desire to hold enough stock and spare parts when the demand comes for its services, labelling it a “big part of the company’s philosophy” when it came to selling machinery and providing ongoing customers support.
“We want to sell quality equipment at an affordable price, and then provide a post-sale service and support that eclipses all our competitors,” he said. “All of our staff work together, and we know if we do that, then we’ll sell more cranes because we’ve provided a good service that everyone’s happy with.”
Having seen the product stand up in some of Australia’s harshest environments including the mines up north and in the colder climes of the Snowy Hydro project, Chris says the quality in the Zoomlion brand is there for all to see.
“A lot of brands that expanded outside of Asia have successfully completed what Zoomlion is currently doing now,” he says.
“If you go back to the 70’s and 80’s, all the Asian brands really struggled with their reputations in Australia. We know that if we continue supplying a high-quality product to the Australian market, people will continue to see the positive performance of the Zoomlion brand.”
Touted as being a “third-to-half the price of European cranes”, Chris is adamant the cost-effectiveness of Zoomlion’s cranes is not because of a compromise on quality but, rather, a combination of available stock and relatively cheaper raw materials and labour.
“The quality is right up there,” he says. “Any customer we speak to is loving their cranes, irrespective of whether it’s a hydraulic crawler crane, truck crane, anything.”
“The Zoomlion brand is consistently our best-seller, and that’s because of the quality they display.”
