Purpose-Built Branch for Brisbane
27/01/2009
Energy Power Systems Australia (EPSA) is
Australia’s specialised Caterpillar® engine dealer, supplying this region
with the world’s finest power systems. Throughout the network of
offices across Australia and Papua New Guinea, EPSA's people give comprehensive
engineering support and technical advice to the Caterpillar engine customers
and once EPSA have completed the initial sale and installation, Hastings
Deering take over in providing product support. You'll find this
formidable alliance of EPSA and Hastings Deering at work throughout Queensland,
Northern Territory and PNG providing Cat engine customers with an unrivalled
service of properly engineered solutions and outstanding product support.
A new $13 million Energy Power Systems Australia
Brisbane branch, accommodating engine sales and Cat Rental Power, is in
the planning stage, with completion scheduled for January 2009.
As EPSA’s Garry Dann explained, “The consolidation
of both areas of the business will enable us to meet our customer’s expectations
more efficiently. Storing all our equipment under the one roof will
decrease the response time for engine sales and rental customers. It
will also allow both teams to work closer together on projects. As
safety is a key factor, the new facility will feature two overhead cranes
to improve engine handling and reduce forklift movements, resulting in
improved car parking safely away from heavy truck movements.
To be located at the Radius Industrial Estate
in Larapinta, the new facility will provide good access for freight from
the Port of Brisbane and to the North, South and West for delivery of engines
to customers. The estate has direct access to the Logan Motorway
via a new $36 million interchange connection to Paradise Road, which also
provides a straight run for customers to Hastings Deering.
As Garry summarised, “The new premises demonstrates
to our customers that we are planning to look after their requirements
going forward and that we can be relied on as a high quality supplier investing
in the future.”
