PRODUCT FOCUS
The SANY SMG200 from GEM offers superior levelling performance.
SANY has positioned all filters centrally
for quick accessibility. A well-designed
handrail makes it easy to carry out

SANY enters 2019 on the basis
of strong growth in the mining
and construction industries and is
set to entrench itself even further
as a market leader going forward.
“SANY is a major powerhouse, with
impressive technology. Coupled with
Goscor and the Bud Group, that
makes for a formidable combination,”
GEM managing director Barry Owen
stresses. GEM’s strategy for 2019 will
continue to focus on its main areas of
excavators, front-end loaders, graders,
and rollers as the ideal equipment range
for Africa.
