EXCAVATORS
Babcock enhances its product line with SDLG excavators
Babcock, a trusted name in construction equipment, has expanded its portfolio with the addition of SDLG excavators. This move comes after over a decade of success with SDLG wheel loaders, motor graders, and vibratory rollers in Southern Africa. The new distribution agreement brings SDLG’s range of excavators, known for their cost-effectiveness and reliability, to the South African market. Capital Equipment News’ Juanita Pienaar spoke with David Vaughan, Managing Director of the Equipment Division at Babcock about the expansion.
“W e are excited to add the range of SDLG excavators to our line of products,” Vaughan said about the new addition. “In our view, this is a good quality, cost-effective, value product with a ‘premium’ touch to it. Given that Volvo Construction Equipment, our major principal, owns 70% of SDLG, one can easily recognise the premium Volvo design heritage in this line of excavators.”
“Babcock is committed to supporting the SDLG product range in the same manner that we support all the brands that we represent in Southern Africa. Our relationship with SDLG has strengthened immensely over the past months with intense participation from the factory and ongoing initiatives.”
