Toyota huski the right choice
for landscaping contractor
A busy Victorian landscaping and construction contractor has relied on Toyota Huski
skid-steer loaders for most of its 10-year history.
Calder Landscaping and Construction
purchased a Huski 4SDK8 and a 4SDK5
model not long after the company was
founded in 2006. In November last year the
4SDK8 was traded in and new 5SDK5 and
5SDK8 skid-steers were purchased, bringing
its current fleet of Toyota Huski skid-steer
loaders to three.
For director Mark Bullows there was never a
question of which brand of skid-steer loader
he would use in the business.
“I had experience with other skid-steer loaders
in previous jobs and I preferred the Toyota
Huskis,” he said. “It was a simple matter of
sticking with what I know best. Based on
past experience I knew they were tough,
dependable and wouldn’t let me down.”
Mr Bullows said the simplicity of operation and
reliability of the Toyota Huskis are their real
strength.
“Wha I like most about them is that they’re
simple and you can rely on them to get the job
done. Some of the other brands seem to lose
their way by trying to over complicate things.
“With the Huskis I’ve never had any problems
like I did with other brands,” he said.
Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA)
Victoria area sales manager Thomas Machar
said the uncomplicated nature of the Huskis
makes them the ideal choice for getting
the job done with fewer issues and costly
breakdowns.
“Our customers love the fact that the Toyota
Huskis are comfortable, reliable and don’t
have complicated electronics and computer
operation. They’re a solid, dependable and
well-engineered workhorse, and the fact that
80 percent of our sales come from repeat
customers like Calder is proof that they
deliver,” Mr Machar said.
Mr Bullows said the service and maintenance
he receives from his local TMHA branch is
also a good reason to stick with the Huskis.
“Nothing’s a problem for them,” he said. “One
of the service technicians lives near me, and
if I need him to come over at 6.30am to look
at something he’s always there. Any issues
are sorted out quickly and without any hassle.
Equipment downtime is costly in this business
so having quality backup to rely on is a must.”
Calder Landscaping and Construction’s three
Huskis are primarily used to prepare new
housing estates for a number of large builders
in Victoria.
Given they operate on paved and concrete
paths as well as dirt, the two new 5-series
Huskis were fitted with heavy duty tyres before
delivery.
“Working on building sites means you can get
a lot of flat tyres, but with these heavy duty
tyres that’s hardly ever a problem. I probably
get about one-tenth of the problems I would
with other equipment,” Mr Bullows said.
