MACHINERY Corporation of Guyana Limited (MACORP), the only authorised Caterpillar dealer in Guyana and Caterpillar Inc. has announced the introduction of the New D2 series hydraulic excavators to this country.
They said improvements were made to it with customers’ needs and challenges in mind, noting that today’s operations require dependable machines that can produce more with less and this is the essence behind the new series. “These machines are exceptionally reliable and highly productive, built to lower operating costs through reduced fuel consumption and simplified routine maintenance,” said Damien Lewis, Marketing Assistant at MACORP.
He related that some of the features and benefits of these excavators include a mechanically controlled engine that handles less than standard fuel in a better way and lowers the consumption, a powerful hydraulic system, a developed operator station, the largest bucket in its class and a robust design built to provide years of reliable service.
Lewis said the new D2 hydraulic excavators have a hydraulic system that provides high hydraulic horsepower for digging and lifting, as well as for using heavy duty, hydraulically powered work tools. The boom and stick regeneration systems save energy during boom-down and stick-in operations, reducing cycle times and adding to overall fuel efficiency.
Large windows ensure all around visibility and promote job site safety while viscous rubber cab mounts dampen both vibration and sound transmitted to the operator station, to further enhance comfort and productivity.
New for the series, too, is a large metal roof hatch that can be opened for added visibility and air circulation.
“Macorp is confident that these new machines will meet and exceed customers’ expectations for superior performance, lower owning and operating cost and durability. These excavators were manufactured with the voice of our customers echoing in the background and, since the worldwide introduction last September, success stories are being told,” Lewis reported.
He said, for 20 years, MACORP has been leading Guyana’s development and fuelling the success of stakeholders by directly providing integral equipment and product support solutions and it has been rewarded for its outstanding performance and the professional training of their employees.
