The Shantui SE480 excavator, the larg- est of the local range, has been well received by the local market since its launch at Bauma 2013. The introduction of the SE480 excavator is expected to result in a measurable growth in market share in the mining sector for Shantui, judging by the overwhelmingly positive response that it has received from the industry to date. The latest -3 version of the Shantui SL60W wheel loader is also designed for mining and quarrying applications. The Shantui SL60W-3 wheel loader is powered by a Cummins engine, which develops 175 kW of power. This unit has an operating weight of 21 tons and has a 3.5 m³ bucket capacity.

The lifting height of this machine is 4.2 m, with the bottom mast clearance of 195 mm, in addition to a 5 ton lifting capacity. Flora Zhang, Senior Sales Manager of Shan- tui said, “This event served as the ideal plat- form for our customers to view our products. A number of African economies are still in the infancy stages of development and, as a result, many projects do not necessarily have highly skilled technicians or the re- quired hardware and software for advanced diagnostics. Instead, they require a simple yet robust machine that is able to withstand the harsh African climate and operating con- ditions, and emerging economies now rec- ognise and trust the Shantui brand to meet these unique demands,” she concluded. EverStar Industries is committed to massive growth and support for Shantui and in this regard has appointed Shantui dealers in Jet Park, Pietermaritzburg, North West and Limpopo. Technical and product training has and will continuously be provided to these dealers so that customers can be comfort- able in the knowledge that the equipment will always be maintained according to the best global practices. b
