Locally Assembled Elgin Road Sweeper – first of its kind!
June 30, 2011 | by digital@lkda.co.za
Goscor Cleaning Equipment (GCE) is proud to announce that it has produced it’s first locally assembled road sweeper. Historically these machines were imported as “complete” units. The advantage of locally assembling these sweepers is that the chassis can now be locally selected and supported by the selling dealer. Local warranties also apply.
“We currently have the options of TATA, Hino and Iveco and are working on making other local brands available,” says MD of GCE, Ricky Bodmer. Imported chassis from the USA are left hand drive so dual steer is not an option and results in additional costs. On right hand drive chassis using a camera system allows easy visual control for sweeping on the left at a greatly reduced cost.
Imported chassis also pose a problem with regards to local support as they tend to be very sophisticated due to the enforced advanced emission controls imposed by European and American countries. These imported chassis generally pose their own set of challenges for local dealers. The sweeper body is still supplied by ELGIN SWEEPER COMPANY and is shipped to S.A. in skid form. Assembly is carried out in our own workshop facilities. After sales support for the chassis and the sweeper body is offered locally.
