Sherrin Equipment signs on Kobelco Excavators

Effective since mid-November 2017, Sherrin Equipment is the new Kobelco dealer for far north Queensland, exclusively covering from Bowen and north to Townsville and Cairns. Sherrin Equipment is the retail arm of Sherrin Group, a major provider of rental equipment across Australia. The Sherrin Group will be celebrating 50 years next year and services government-funded infrastructure and maintenance work as well as quarry and mining projects.

“Kobelco is a proven product with a loyal customer base. Our Townsville branch will provide customers with solutions to their excavation requirements for sales, service and hire,” says Ben Hill, General Manager of Sherrin Equipment.

“The decision to partner with Kobelco was primarily based on its reputation within the industry, the reliability of the products and the fact that the machines are proven performers,” Ben says.

Sherrin Equipment’s Townsville dealership has a full team of staff employed in both customer service and support roles to assist with sales, servicing and parts in the far north Queensland region.

The company prides itself on its exceptional customer service, with 24 hour a day, seven days a week professional product support. The dealership includes a fully operational workshop that includes overhead craneage, automated lubrication and field service. Kobelco has been working closely with the dealership to ensure that the transition is as seamless as possible for staff and customers.

“Kobelco’s support has been excellent, including training in all aspects of the equipment. Sherrin Equipment is experienced in excavators but has relied upon Kobelco’s expert staff for more in-depth training and product knowledge. With the support we have received from Kobelco, we have been able to hit the ground running,” Ben says.

Sherrin Equipment has already ordered three Kobelco excavators – two 21-tonne and one 30-tonne arriving from early December.

The partnership with Sherrin Equipment highlights Kobelco’s focus on delivering best-in-class customer service. It also provides an opportunity for potential Kobelco customers in the far north Queensland region to rent before they buy a piece of equipment.

“This new partnership with Sherrin Equipment opens up the chance for the local industry to ‘try a Kobelco before you buy’ if they wish to, offering a streamlined service and support team the whole way,” says General Manager – Sales & Service for Kobelco, Doug McQuinn.

“Kobelco is proud to be partnering with Sherrin Equipment as they build their presence in the excavator market. With a reputation for outstanding service and reliability, it’s a natural partnership fit for both Kobelco and Sherrin Equipment,” says Doug.
