What partners say
Trusted on sites around the world
"We bought 12 mini excavators in two batches. The spec is honest, delivery was on schedule, and the spare part response after 8 months of hard use has been fast."
Marcos G.
Fleet Manager, Rental Company — Chile
"The private-label package let us launch our own brand with zero factory headaches. The OEM team handled decals, manuals and even our local emissions documentation."
Omar A.
Importing Dealer — Saudi Arabia
"The CR12 does what a machine twice the price does on our residential jobs. Zero tail swing gets us through garden gates, and the local parts hub ships the same week."
