solutions. Under its “Future Now, Future Next” strategy ELB has added LiuGong’s range of excavators, wheel loaders, dump trucks and other earthmoving equip- ment. This expansion strengthens its ability to sup- port customers throughout the production chain from extraction to hauling to screening and crushing. The LiuGong partnership brings globally recognised reli- ability and affordability to customers supported by ELB Equipment’s well-established aftersales infrastructure. ELB is ensuring that these new additions meet the same uptime expectations that customers have for Powerscreen. Even with this broadened offering the company’s identity remains in its long-standing partnership with Powerscreen. The relationships built over decades are reflected in the manufacturer’s recognition of ELB Equipment as its Regional Dealer of the Year last year which is a distinction that honours sales performance, service excellence and customer satisfaction. “Our foundation with Powerscreen is stronger than ever. We are committed to helping the next generation of projects succeed and we will continue investing in the people, products and support structures that keep our customers productive. That is our focus today and it will remain our focus for the future,” Wakefield con- cludes. l
“Even the best screening equipment is only as good as the support behind it. As a result we have developed one of the strongest service and parts networks in the region that is backed by eight full-service branches and three dedicated parts hubs across South Africa. We also maintain the largest stockholding of mobile crushing and screening equipment in the country which allows customers to take delivery of machines quickly and avoid the delays that can otherwise cripple their production plans,” says Wakefield. He explains that uptime should remain the founda- tion of a quarry’s operations and that ELB Equipment’s application specialists work directly with quarry managers to ensure machines are correctly specified and integrated into the broader processing circuit. By optimising process flow, adjusting deck configurations and providing operator training the specialists are able to help customers achieve consistent tonnage in an efficient manner with an eye on lowering costs per tonne. They also assist customers with preventative maintenance schedules and structured service agree- ments that provide predictable costs over thousands of operating hours in order to reduce unexpected failures. While Powerscreen remains the centrepiece of ELB Equipment’s quarrying offering the company has wid- ened its portfolio to deliver more complete pit-to-plant
