O
ver the past few years Sany (Sany
Heavy Industry Co Ltd) has come
to dominate the Chinese equipment
market, which is perhaps the largest and
most competitive market in the world. De-
spite the conglomeration of powerful state
owned companies and the influx of foreign
brands into the country, Sany has achieved
the number one position in China and is
placed number six in the world, in the rela-
tively short period of fifteen years since the
company was established in 1989.
The success of Sany has been based on
simple philosophies like understanding lo-
cal market needs and building products that
meet those needs. Sany has also demon-
strated its long term commitment to markets
outside China by building world-class manu-
facturing and R&D facilities in USA, Germany,
India and Brazil. Its expansion worldwide has
resulted in the total employment of some
55 000 employees in the company’s various
facilities.
In South Africa, Saxeni Equipment (Pty) Ltd
was established in 2010, becoming the au-
thorised dealer for Sany mobile and crawl-
er cranes. Driven by passion, integrity and
service excellence, Saxeni has earned the
respect and confidence of its rapidly grow-
ing customer base, which represents over
145 mobile and crawler Sany cranes sold in
South Africa already.
The list of customers reads like the who’s
who of the crane industry with companies
such as Allied Crane Hire, Marlboro Crane
Hire, Tubular, Ritchie, ELB Construction
and Tandem Cranes, having made the suc-
cessful transition to the Sany brand. “We
have successfully grown the Gauteng area
support base over the past five years and
will now concentrate on the coastal areas,
especially CapeTown where two units have
already been placed in operation. Port Eliz-
abeth has already received its first unit with
more in the pipeline,” said Morne Jute, Sax-
eni Sales Manger.
“At Saxeni Equipment, aftersales is of utmost
importance and we offer a 12 month/2000
hour warranty with every unit and with ser-
vice intervals every 250 hours. We have a
team of highly experienced technicians that
will respond to a call within 24 hours. Wheth-
er it is a breakdown or simply telephonic
technical support, the customer can rest
assured that the query will be handled with
priority and professionalism,” added Jute.
Jute went on to explain that the company’s
truck mounted cranes were a high demand
item and, of those, the STC500 was the
most popular as it fits into the right category
for the crane hire industry. “Having a truck
mounted crane in your fleet not only makes it
more affordable to acquire but gives returns
equal to those of an all-terrain crane if your
job application allows it. The simplicity of its
design and low maintenance cost make it an
ideal unit for any crane or plant hire compa-
ny”, explained Morne Jute
