UTE to woo visitors to Construct 2011

New construction machines that have never been displayed at a public event in Sri Lanka and a pre-used construction equipment auction will be among the exciting new value additions to this year's edition of the 'Construct' exhibition by United Tractor and Equipment (Private) Ltd (UTE).

In its third consecutive year as the main sponsor of the construction machinery and equipment show and fourth year of participation at the Construct exhibition, Sri Lanka's sole authorized Caterpillar representative has also taken several steps to enhance awareness of its products and services at its stall, which attracted large crowds last year.

Construct 2011 is scheduled to be held from August 19 to 21 at the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Exhibition Centre at the BMICH complex.

"The introduction of a pre-used construction equipment auction supports the changing needs of our customers and developments in the country," UTE General Manager Riyad Ismail said.

New machines on display at the UTE stall will include the 336D Hydraulic Excavator, which was introduced to the country in the latter part of last year and the 120K Motor Grader.

The UTE stall, one of the largest at the exhibition, will also feature D4 type Dozers, the signature machine type synonymous with the Caterpillar brand in the country. Pre-used Dozers will be on display in the pre-used machinery section, for which a separate area has been designated.

UTE has dedicated the entire E block of the exhibition venue to give customers an indepth awareness of its product support options. Seminars on parts, services and customer support and training with regard to welding and construction equipment, will be conducted on a daily basis, the company said.

Representatives of Caterpillar are also scheduled to make presentations and visitors to the UTE stall will have an opportunity to interact with them.

United Tractor & Equipment (Private) Ltd (UTE) has been the sole authorised dealer for Caterpillar earthmoving equipment, power generators and Forklift trucks in Sri Lanka since 1947.
