Bell Equipment is to sell Kobelco excavators in aouthern Africa.
Bell will complement its articulated dump trucks with Kobelco excavators, from small one tonne mini excavators to the largest 85 tonne machines.
"The Kobelco focus on product innovation and efficiency resonates with our own ideologies. We share a number of dealers around the world, especially because Kobleco products offer overall reliability and low fuel consumption delivered by the Toyota Group's Hino engines," Stephen Jones, marketing director, Bell Equipment, said in a statement.
John Boyd, managing director, Kobelco Construction Machinery Middle East and Africa said Kobelco has found the right partner for its products in the region. "We are fortunate to have teamed up with a leading capital equipment distributor in Southern Africa, and also a like-minded company that believes in listening to its customers and reacting quickly."
"Stocking of [Kobelco] parts in the Bell Global Logistics Centre is under way and technical staff are being upskilled to deal with the new products. Likewise, sales and application specialists are improving their knowledge to better advise and support customers to make the best application decisions," Jones said.
