Goscor’s strong showing The Goscor Group will also be showing a range of its products from its various companies, including Goscor Power Products, Bobcat and Sany, Goscor Cleaning Equipment and Goscor Access Rental. With an extensive range of firefighting equipment, water pumps and sprayers, Goscor Power Products is actively involved in the agricultural sector, as well as sup- plying cooperatives, says MD Mark Bester. Goscor Compressed Air Systems will showcase its portable and stationary compressors from the Ozen and Sullair stable. It will also highlight its capability to service and repair all makes of compressors, air tools and dryers, in addition to offering a compressed-air equipment rental service. A key highlight for Goscor Power Products will be the presence of the all-new Rato “We will also have our full range of water pumps on display, in addition to special products such as diesel- driven irrigation pumps for remote farming areas where electricity supply is constrained.”

engine brand, which can be incorporated into bakkie-mounted firefighting equipment as rapid-response units for the farming community. “We will also have our full range of water pumps on display, in addition to special products such as diesel-driven irrigation pumps for remote farming areas where electricity supply is constrained,” says Bester. Another new brand to be introduced to the Goscor Power Products’ stable at NAMPO 2017 will be WEIMA diesel engines for welding gensets. Goscor Cleaning Equipment will showcase its Maer range of Italian high-pressure cleaners. National sales manager Peter Esterhuizen says the main aim is to generate awareness of the high-quality brand among the farming community, in addition to the flagship Tennant range of outdoor environmental cleaning solutions. Esterhuizen adds that traditionally the agricultural sector has focused on cold- water pressure cleaners from 150 to 200 bar. “We want to highlight to visitors additional applications presented by our larger machines, including cleaning farming equipment such as combine harvesters and tractors for maintenance purposes.” Describing the event as a traditionally busy show, Esterhuizen says NAMPO is distinguished by the fact that actual sales

orders are generated on the stands, which translates into a tangible return on investment for exhibiting companies, in addition to brand awareness. To capitalise on this trend, Goscor Cleaning Equipment will offer special prices on two of its high- pressure cleaning machines. Goscor Access Rental will be represented by Tanya Brummer and Lavesh Gunpath, who concur that the event is not only well- known in the farming community, but has an exceptional customer footprint as well. Given the price-sensitivity of the agricultural sector, refurbished and cost-efficient Doosan forklifts will be on display to showcase the total cost of ownership benefits for customers. On the Bobcat and Sany side, a special focus will be the launch of a new compact backhoe loader and telehandler for the farming community, as well as a mini- excavator. The new compact backhoe loader has been developed in conjunction with Kukorova of Turkey, featuring a 74,5 kW Perkins engine. Additional products will include a double- drum ride-on roller and a small grader. These products are aimed particularly at farmers upgrading road infrastructure in rural and remote areas, which is a new growth area the equipment supplier wishes to tap into. b
