Vertu Equipment is changing the look of construction sites as more contractors opt for Sany machines in New Zealand.
SANY making its mark in New Zealand
Making its mark on the Kiwi landscape, Sany construction machinery is becoming more and more
popular amongst a variety of contractors, getting the job done while offering industry-leading value.
Although the Sany product range is huge – its more than just excavators. The roading and construction
equipment includes an extensive range of motor graders, wheel loaders, rollers, cranes, tele-handlers,
and more.
From its branches in Auckland, Tauranga, and Christchurch, authorised dealer Vertu Equipment
offers a full solution that covers the whole lifecycle of a project
“We provide everything you need and nothing you don’t,” says Vertu company director Jonathon
Griffiths.
“One of the key benefits of Sany machinery is that it is simple, functional, and extremely reliable –
therefore it just keeps going.
“They’re built using well known componentry and with Sany being a global construction machinery
powerhouse, clients can be confident they’re reliable and efficient, and they get the job done.
“For those who want more, the machinery is configured well, meaning we can up the specs to
whatever our clients require – adding on functionality like GPS, for example. But the benefit being
that you’re not being forced to pay for these add-ons if you’re not going to use them.
“And if, later on down the track you decide you do want it, our after sales team can add it no
problem.”
Because the Sany group is so large, there are machines for all stages of a project.
The SANYs in New Zealand pictured here is working on a subdivision of 60-70 lots in the Bay of Plenty. The client
needed a full fleet to tackle everything from bulk earthworks, to drainage, to roading, compacting
and finishing. Vertu worked with them to source the machines they needed in the timeframe required and to
budget.
“The project kicked off about six months ago, and at the height of the project there were 10
machines on site, including a number of excavators ranging in size from two to 20 tonnes, a three
tonne double drum roller and an 18 tonne roller, as well as a circa 20 tonne motor grader.
“One huge advantage we have at Vertu is that we have very short lead times on Sany gear – for this
project we had everything they needed in stock.
“We have a full range of excavators in stock currently, and more gear arriving regularly – there’s a
shipment of rollers on the water right now. Otherwise, our lead time is just two to three months
from the date the order is placed, including on bespoke construction machinery.
“This is an industry leading time and is a testament to Sany’s manufacturing capabilities during
such uncertain times.”
Choosing Sany in New Zealand, however, clients also get the service and expertise that comes with dealing with
Vertu.
“We aim to work with businesses to understand their projects fully, and to better find solutions for
them.
“Our team love to sit down with clients in those exciting pre-planning days to work out how they
can achieve the best results for their business as well as the project – we’re more than just parts and
machines.
“Our promise to our clients is that quality and service matter.”
After sales support are a crucial part of any equipment purchase, and for a project like this
subdivision, the local Tauranga branch was on hand to provide support.
“The machinery came complete with a pre-agreed servicing plan in place, which the on-site team in
particular were very appreciative of. It meant they didn’t need to worry about servicing and
maintenance as this was all pre-planned, and if there were any issues, they knew who they could
call immediately.
“What we offer is so much more than a competitive acquisition cost. We also provide competitive
parts and serviceability to maximise uptime, along with industry-leading warranties, performance
and functionality, and operator accessibility and comfort.
“We also treat every client, no matter how big or small, as a key client so clients can be guaranteed
to have class leading support.”
Sany has 20 research and development bases around the world, focussed on developing an even
wider range of machinery suited to local markets.
A hugely popular brand internationally, Sany has grown over the past 30 years to become one of the
biggest construction machinery manufacturers globally and continues to grow year on year.
“At Vertu, we offer a global brand with local knowledge. And, as a 100 percent locally owned and
operated business, we work with businesses to provide solutions, not just machines.
“And more and more contractors are choosing Sany in New Zealand – not just because of the competitive purchase
price, but because Vertu provides local knowledge, friendly service, and the full backup and support
they need from day one onwards.”
All in all, Jonathon says the main reason for Vertu’s success to-date has been a strong product but also a
strong focus on going over and above and doing the right thing for their clients, always.
“We’re fortunate enough to be seeing consistently strong growth every year as more Kiwis realise
that Sany and Vertu can deliver what they need and in the timeframes they require.
“We’d love to talk to you about your next project and work together to help it succeed.”
