These GEHL’s are ROCKing the ZIM small scale mining market!
Congratulations to Chez Shiels for her excellent machine knowledge to close this deal.
These two GEHL mini excavators are on their way to a small mining operation in Bulawayo. The customer chose these two machines over its competitors due to the fact that it does not have an extender stick which is a very high wearing area and it comes complete with the hydraulic piping on the backhoe for changing out the bucket to a rock-breaker or any other hydraulic attachment – it’s helpful that this is already part of the machine, most other machines do not have this extra feature. These machines can be changed from a 2 to a 4 wheel-drive and come complete with an Aircon.
We’ve added some new machines to our range!
