HIRE OPERATORS WELCOME NEW DINGO K9-3 AWD
With 17 years of experience producing Australian mini diggers, Dingo Equipment Australia has well and truly cemented itself as a mainstay in equipment hire outlets across Australia. The Dingo K9-3 AWD is the latest model to be released by Dingo Equipment Australia. Let’s take a moment to have a closer look at this machine and see why it has been welcomed by hire companies.
The new K9-3 AWD introduces larger service intervals, something that is set to put a smile on the face of all hire operators. Larger service intervals translate into reduced maintenance costs and less time at the mechanic. The engineers at Dingo Equipment Australia have developed the technology to enable the hydraulic service interval to be increased to 1000 hours without negative effects on the machine. This is a factor that has been welcomed by hire companies looking to have their machines out on site longer.
Dingo Equipment Australia CEO, David Fisher commented on the exciting development.
“The Dingo K9-3 AWD is a machine that is built for the hire industry. To be able provide a machine that can work longer and harder without maintenance is an excellent thing,” said Mr Fisher.
Dingo Equipment Australia has taken this a step further by introducing independent wheel drive in the new K9-3 AWD. Each wheel on the machine is independently powered, hence the name All Wheel Drive (AWD). Not only does this provide stronger push, this also means absolutely no drive chain maintenance or adjustment.
Be reassured the new K9-3 AWD retains the ease of operation for which it has become known.
“A key element of all hire machines is that the average “weekend warrior” needs to be able to operate them. The new Dingo K9-3 AWD retains the operational control setup that regular customers are familiar with. We are committed to providing a machine that is easy to operate without sacrificing the capacity to perform and we believe the new Dingo K9-3 AWD provides this.” Mr Fisher said.
Existing Dingo owners will be pleased to know that the Dingo K9-3 AWD has also retained its ease of transportation. Capable of fitting through a standard doorway and on a ute or trailer, weekend warriors and serious operators can get the machine to the worksite.
