We then turn to gearmotor and frequency inverter manufacturer SEW-EURODRIVE, finding out the reasons why it is shifting its multiple-brand warehouse fleet to exclusively Toyota Material Handling Australia products.
In Victoria, we speak with basement builder Nick Lazarevski about how a pair of CASE short-radius excavators are proving perfect for his work, while Queensland’s Hercules Machinery Group is celebrating the arrival of a new wheeled excavator and compact track loads to its lineup.
