Recently, SDLG delivered two units of L968F wheel loaders to UAE contractor, Desert Group LLC. The loaders are being used on a year-long project to build a 9-hole golf course on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, where their uptime is crucial to completing the development on time.
The loaders will be used to transport off-site materials onto the golf course, including boulders and sand, which will be used for landscaping. “The loaders will be covering roughly 1.2km in distance with each trip they make, so having a smooth loading and delivery process is really important to keep us on schedule,” said Lawrence Walsh, Manager at Desert Group LLC.
The main challenge when working in desert conditions is not only the heat but the dust too. “We have to clean the filters regularly and ensure regular breaks for staff, especially during the summer,” Walsh adds. Luckily, the loaders are built for the job. “The technology isn’t as advanced but that was never my main priority,” says John Richards, workshop manager at Desert Group LLC. “We wanted something simple and reliable, easy to fix, easy to use and with good fuel efficiency.”
The company has a strong relationship with SDLG dealer, Al Futtaim Auto and Machinery Company (FAMCO). “FAMCO have been absolutely fantastic with their service; any time we have an issue, which is very rare, they are here within hours,” said Joseph Gomez, Project Manager at Desert Group LLC.
