| The Berco Service Line of undercarriage parts provides high quality aftermarket parts replacement |
Over the past year, Le Roi has been expanding its Service Line under-carriage range with high quality and affordable undercarriages and parts, catering for machines in the 13–45 ton (11.8–40.8 tonne) range.
Le Roi Machinery Parts managing director Ziane Gouicem explains that Le Roi has been supplying Berco aftermarket parts in Australia for the past two years.
“This service line is an outsourced product, mainly from China and Korea, but it’s designed by Berco and the quality is Berco,” Gouicem says.
“All parts that are made in Asia are shipped to the company’s warehouse in Italy and go through quality tests before they are then sent over to us, so you can rely on the quality of the product.
“This outsourcing strategy means that costs can be minimised, meaning that we can provide
a high-quality product at a competitive price.”
Alongside the undercarriage service line, Le Roi also supplies a variety of chains, sprockets, shoes, rollers and engine parts for all of the big manufacturers.
“We cover Cat, Komatsu, Hyundai, Hitachi, Doosan – most of the brands in the market,” Gouicem explains.
“Berco is an OEM [original equipment manufacturer] for a lot of major brands – Hitachi, Komatsu, Liebherr, John Deere – you name it. It’s the main supplier for all John Deere products. For aftermarket undercarriages, Berco is number one.”
Quality is key to the service line’s popularity, he adds, as well as Berco supplying a diverse range that has a high level of durability.
After Le Roi experienced severe delays in being able to ship new parts from Italy during the COVID-19 pandemic, Gouicem says that the focus has been on building up the stock available in Australia of the most common items and stocking them in warehouses in major cities. This led to the opening last year of the company’s Melbourne warehouse, with a Sydney warehouse in the works.
“We had delivery issues for sure during COVID, and for some parts we had to wait for six, seven or even eight months just to get them produced and then shipped over. So, we’ve been building our stock in Australia and, now, we have warehouses in Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane, with plans for one in Sydney for 2024,” Gouicem says.
With expenditure in the industry forecast to grow by 80 per cent by 2030, he adds that the service lines will be further expanded as well to give customers access to an even wider choice of aftermarket parts.
“Over the past two years our customers’ reception to the Berco line has been very positive,” he says.
“The Service Line is designed by Berco, the quality is Berco, but with a very competitive price, as well as good availability.”
