Half year market figures have confirmed not
only the remarkable growth in the new
equipment market but also the commanding market leadership enjoyed
by the Porter Group. Projections suggest that the overall size of the new
equipment market is set to eclipse the previous records of 2007 and
reiterates the buoyancy in the NZ economy. The only sector to have shown
some softening in recent weeks has been forestry industry which has
caused the customary slowdown and speculation, but amidst this the
confidence remains that export prices will recover this side of Christmas
and provide the much needed boost to the industry.
Against that backdrop, timing might not seem ideal for the introduction of
Porter Equipments latest addition to its stable of new equipment - Madill
forestry equipment. Porter Equipment will distribute and support the full
range of Madill forestry equipment from log loaders to leveling feller
bunchers and swing yarders. Despite the downturn in forestry, the industry
has reacted very positively to the news of this product acquisition and
enquiry for the product has been exceptional already. The first of the Madill
units arrive on our shores in August and the customer base has indicated
that these units will be in productive use not long after.
On the back of successful bids for several preferred supply arrangements,
Porter Hire is looking forward to further expanding and updating the fleet
in the second half of this calendar year. A significant number of new units
have been ordered to meet Porter Hires development program. This
expansion and replacement program is not limited to the earthmoving
equipment and some notable successes in the access equipment market
will see this division grow its market share and geographical footprint.
Also, Porter Cranes has made a significant addition to its offering by

acquiring a new 120 tonne tracked unit.
Abroad, our operations in Southern California are enjoying the positive
economic environment which has enabled the Porter Group to explore
various expansion and diversification opportunities. The outlook in the
state is very encouraging and the growth of both our sales and rental
activity is a reflection of this. Australia remains subdued due to the
widespread economic slowdown but despite the fact, our sales, finance
and rental operations continue to make positive market share gains. In a
regressing market, market share growth will position us well for a positive
outcome following the recovery.
We trust that the second half of this year will remain strong to enable our
many valued customers to make some significant progress in this positive
environment.

A collaborative effort
Ballance Agri-Nutrients’ decision to purchase its
Sandvik QA331 mobile screen was based on an
intensive 24-month investigation which included the
extended trialling of various screening methods - a
learning process Sandvik distributor Porter Equipment
was heavily involved in.
“We’ve been Ballance’s primary wheel loader supplier
for around four years now, so when the need for an
aggregates screen arose, we wanted to adopt the
same education and trial process we’ve used to
ensure the company’s wheel loader requirements

very much a collaborative process.”
making their way through to customers is also vital. All in all, the
screen is already proving its worth and it has only been here a
short time.”
The Sandvik screens product into these
wheeled conveyor units
With so much product required to be output through the screen and a product that can be so abrasive on machinery and hydraulic
gear - Ballance looked to Sandvik distributor Porter Equipment to
give it some peace of mind in the screen’s protection and upkeep.
“Porter Equipment has given us substantial support,” says Johnson.
“It has a comprehensive service offering out of its Ashburton
branch, so we are well looked after. In fact, having Porter’s backup behind the Sandvik name was an anchor point in the decision
to go with the brand in the first place.
“Because of the nature of the material we’re shifting through the
screen, Porter Equipment supports us with a monthly preventative
maintenance program. Regular maintenance is key simply due to
the detrimental effect fertiliser can have on running gear.”
The Sandvik is the first screen Ballance
has utilised within the Timaru hub
Additionally sheet metal and hydraulics on the QA331 are protected
by a number of preventative materials, including comprehensive
Nylex protective coating coverage, as well as Denso tape and
Lanoguard around hydraulic lines.
Johnson tells me the screen spends around 80 percent of the day
processing within the walls of the Timaru hub. So why did Balance
opt for a tracked screen?
“At first it might seem an odd decision, but despite the machine
never leaving the walls of the distribution centre, we still need the
flexibility of a moveable screen.
“The hub is 66 metres wide by 123 metres long. Inside we have

a number of divided bins that feature any
combination of product coming through. We need
to be able to move the screen between the bins.
“We also lease the bulk store, so we didn’t want
to have any plant within the building that would
need to be semi-permanently affixed to the floor,”
says Johnson.
The Sandvik QA331 is a mid-range sized machine,
but with a large screening area that means
production rates can remain high. The screen
design is of the ‘banana screen’ style, meaning it
can incline up to six degrees, keeping material on
the screen box for longer which results in cleaner,
higher quality product - a necessity for Ballance.
Designed with low running costs in mind, through
better fuel efficiency from its 75kW (100hp) engine,
the QA331 is also designed from the outset to
offer uniquely high amplitude and speed with an
adjustable throw, ranging between 5mm and 8mm.
Porter Equipment can easily re-spec the screen
to deal with certain products, a process that takes
the distributor’s tech team a couple of hours. But
as Johnson tells me, that will only need to happen
a couple of times a year.
“Still, when it does need to happen, it’s good to
know that Porter Equipment will manage that for
us from whoa to go.
“At Ballance, we have a philosophy of continual
improvement,” concludes Johnson.
“I think the addition of the Sandvik screen to our

MANITOWOC R12000-1
Porter Cranes have recently taken delivery of a new Manitowoc
R12000-1 (120tonne US) the first Manitowoc to be added to the
fleet. With the main boom standing at a towering 70 metres and the
fly jib at 21 metres, this crane will be an asset to the already strong
Porter Cranes fleet of 11 machines.
The ease of erecting and breaking down the Manitowoc makes it
an ideal unit for meeting confined space requirements expected on
inner city projects. It is currently being put through its paces on site
for Construct Ltd at 800 Victoria Street where they are in the middle
of a project to construct a new gym.
The machine is likely to be in high demand and will shortly be on
route to New Plymouth where it will be required for the Hobson Hotel
construction project being undertaken by Foster Construction where
it will be an integral part of the work’s duration of eight months.
Some of the key features of the machine that will make it an asset
to any project include its retractable crawlers that can be extended
and retracted for better jobsite manoeuverability. The self-erecting
counterweight eliminates the need for an assist crane, and also
allows for reduced counterweight chart operation. Porter Cranes
Manager, Stuart Rowling commented, “A machine such as the
Manitowoc will increase our capability to tender for and secure long
term projects and will also be used in the development of the new
Porter Group headquarters in Te Kowhai.”

WHANGAREI
We are please to welcome back Andrew Marks to the Porter Group as the new
Parts Manager for the Whangarei Branch. This event was caused largely by Ken
Fernie’s desire to return to Auckland, where he will begin a new role for Porter
Parts at the Manukau branch.
Andrew served his apprenticeship for the heavy construction equipment industry
working on most things diesel. Andrew carries a strong and broad knowledge as
his experience within Porters began managing a team of nine within the Hamilton
dismantling yard, before progressing to the Parts sales department also in Hamilton.
Following that, a transfer to the Auckland Branch saw him gain a challenging role
as the International Parts Consultant covering the entire South Pacific Region.
Having now settled on the Tutukaka coast in the small settlement of Whananaki
with his wife Katherine and their two new additions, Smith now aged 3 ½ and the
recent arrival of Mavis, now just 16 weeks old.
Andrew says “I am extremely excited for the opportunity to become Parts Manager
for the Northland Region and am looking forward to maintaining Ken’s great work
and wish him well in his new Auckland position. I am fortunate to have an experienced
man, Mark Peacock, to work with as I move into ‘Total Recall’ mode, recapturing
what’s still in there somewhere.”
Andrew is looking forward to meeting current customers and assure them that their
satisfaction in service is paramount, which in turn builds strong relationships and
of course….forges new ones!”
