Deals on Wheels did a deep dive into what EvoQuip's crushing and screening products offer buyers
According to heavy equipment manufacturer EvoQuip, globally their brand is represented in 40% of all machines that are used in recycling applications. There’s no denying, that’s an impressive statistic and underlies the popularity of the brand, which even here in New Zealand has seen the Northern Ireland made equipment gain a strong reputation since being introduced to the country in 2017.
A standalone Terex-owned business EvoQuip is represented by over 60 dealers around the globe, with Sanland Equipment Ltd being New Zealand’s recently appointed distributor of the manufacturer’s mobile crushing and screening products.
EvoQuip says the strength of the brand lies in a comprehensive range of products that supports recycling, reuse, and waste. In a nutshell, turning waste into useful (money making) material and by doing that reducing reliance on naturally occurring raw materials. That certainly makes sense when you consider a pile of waste concrete is a liability, but when fed through a crushing machine it immediately becomes an asset.
Known for their solid build quality and high production rates, EvoQuip mobile crushing and screening plants are regularly seen in quarries and processing sites with over 100 units in the hands of companies around New Zealand.
