Komatsu showcases latest equipment

Saud Bahwan Projects & Equipment LLC, a leading distributor for construction and mining equipment in Oman recently showcased the latest Dash-8 series hydraulic excavators and Dash-5 series wheel loaders at a customer meet held at the Jabrin Ballroom, Hotel InterContinental, Muscat.

Hisataka Takao, managing director, Ashraf Hashish, general manager, marketing and Babak Javidani, general manager, Training, Komatsu, Middle East were present on the occasion.

The well attended evening commenced with an informative presentation on the state-of-art technology of Komatsu Dash-8 series hydraulic excavators and Komatsu Dash-5 series wheel loaders.

Talking about what makes Komatsu equipment different from the rest, Ashraf Hashish said, "Komatsu has always challenged itself to set a new industry standard with the introduction of every hydraulic excavator series.

From the legendary Dash-3 version of the 1980's right up through the Dash-7, Komatsu has led rather than followed. That is a trend we believe in and we are continuing the same with the new Dash-8s," he added.

The new Dash-8 hydraulic excavators meet new international construction equipment norms. The Komatsu Dash-8 design is built around operator safety, comfort and increased productivity over Dash-7 models, primarily because of improved cycle times and other hydraulic improvements that give outstanding overall efficiency.
 
These efficiencies include lesser fuel consumption and emissions when compared to the Dash-7.

This combined with impressive upgrades in information technology and operator comfort makes the Dash-8 and ideal machine that is built to suit a contractor's high productivity and low-cost operation directly contributing to the success of related businesses.

The Dash-5 models which are set to replace the Dash-3 range are significantly larger and more powerful. The introduction of the Dash-5 series wheel loaders is a solution from Komatsu for contractors who continuously look for various ways to boost production and reduce operating costs.


Komatsu kept these very concerns of the contractors in mind in engineered the new Dash-5 series wheel loaders line. The range of Komatsu wheel loaders includes the WA320-5 / WA430-5 / WA470-5 series.

Later in the evening, Takao spoke about the long and successful relationship that Komatsu and Saud Bahwan Group have shared. He also congratulated the group for its dominating market share which was achieved by winning the trust and loyalty of its customers.

He said, "I take this opportunity to thank our valuable customers for their constant support and active involvement in utilising world-class products from Komatsu, Japan.

I also take this opportunity to thank Sheikh Mohammed Saud Bahwan, chairman, Saud Bahwan Group for the dedicated and encouraging support being extended to Komatsu for over three decades."

The entire range of Komatsu features new, highly-efficient, environment-friendly engines.
