New stock of Brisbane Mini Excavator Sales’ Sunward compact track loader has arrived, a machine that’s ideal for customers seeking greater lifts and more stability on uneven terrain
Brisbane Mini Excavator Sales [BMES] is known for being Australia’s exclusive distributor of Hercules machinery, consisting of loaders, graders and telehandlers, to name a few products.
For the last four years the Yatala-based business has also been Queensland’s exclusive supplier of Sunward equipment, taking on the brand for its expansive range and quality build.
A leading machinery OEM in China and selling more than 5,000 units a year throughout Europe, Sunward equipment’s baby blue colour profile is sure to stand out on any job site.
Following lots of research, BMES sales executive Steven Ragenovich said the company was impressed with Sunward’s Chinese operation, and the distributor is proud to have the brand as part of the BMES product portfolio.
“Sunward is a major company in China and they have a huge state-of-the-art factory over there,” he says.
“They employ thousands of people and have a diverse range of products, including excavators, track loaders, skid steers, cranes and drilling rigs.”
Track loader
For the last four years, BMES has been offering its customers Sunward’s mini excavators and skid steer loaders, but now its excited to introduce new stock of Sunward’s 4528 compact track loader [CTL].
Weighing 4.4 tonnes [4,400kg], the 4528 model produces 74 horsepower [55.2kW] of power through a two-speed genuine Kubota engine, and has a rated load capacity of 1,200kg.
Compared to traditional skid steers, Ragenovich says the Sunward CTL provides larger load capacities and better stability on uneven terrain, due to the tracks that it moves on.
It is particularly effective in wet and sandy environments, with Ragenovich saying the unit achieves better traction than skid steers or wheel loaders.
“CTLs like the 4528 have more rubber on the ground so they are more stable than wheeled machines,” Ragenovich says.
“It also has greater balance and lifting capacity than skid steers.”
He adds that a quality 4 in 1 bucket comes standard with a quick coupler, allowing operators to switch between various attachments depending on what is needed to get a job done in a hurry.
Safety
Safety is always a priority, and the 4528 ensures this with a roll over protection system [ROPS] and falling object protective structure [FOPS] cabin.
Its hydraulic vertical lift path allows the CTL to lift materials higher than machines using a radial lift path, meaning the 4528 is ideal for tasks that require higher reach – such as loading trucks and materials.
Other features include an adjustable high back suspension seat, LED lights and joystick control, as well as the high-flow system as standard.
Customers can feel more than confident, as the Sunward 4528 is sold with a 3,000 hour or three-year comprehensive warranty – whichever comes first.
To back up this sense of comfort, Ragenovich says BMES is a ‘one stop shop’ for servicing, repairs and spare parts, stocking everything needed to maintain customers’ machinery.
“BMES has become a known brand name due to over 35 years of industry experience, selling new and used machinery, as well as a full range of attachments and accessories,” he says.
Popularity
With the increased popularity of the CTL models, customers should get in quick to avoid missing out on one of the new 4528 CTLs.
“Our customers can also look forward to a new Sunward machine towards the end of the year,” Ragenovich says.
“For customers wanting increased horsepower and lift, keep an eye out for the new 5.3-tonne, 100 horsepower [73.5kW] Sunward CTL model.”
BMES also has a rental fleet dubbed ‘Earthmoving Rentals’, which has several machines in its fleet for hire, so customers can hire before they buy.
