Holcim Grantville has two AG45s on site which are made for the conditions and driving the clay tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holcim Australia\u2019s Grantville Quarry utilises two articulated dump trucks and two front-loaders to stay on top of the competition, thanks to a partnership with Delta Rent.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Grantville Quarry, which is a joint venture between Holcim and Boral, has relied on rented machines from Delta Rent for more than a decade, to ensure it can meet demanding workloads. The quarry supplies Holcim and Boral internally with sand for manufacturing concrete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holcim Australia\u2019s Grantville Quarry site supervisor Ron Walker said with the operation being a joint venture, using machinery from Delta on-site provided access to the latest machines without significant up front investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta\u2019s rental division<\/a>, established in 2005, offers flexible short-term, medium, and long-term rental plans to help any site or project-specific requirement.  The heavy plant hire division operates across Australia with offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we operate a joint venture between Boral and Holcim we tend not to own our equipment\/machinery,\u201d Walker said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, we partner with Delta Rent \u2013 giving our employees access to the latest state-of-the-art reliable machines. This is imperative as our operation is reasonably high hours for a rental.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holcim\u2019s Grantville site, located around 90 minutes from Melbourne, needed machines that could handle the clay track around the site in the wet and sodden tracks in the Victorian winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Volvo L260H\u2019s larger bucket capacity of 7.1 cubic metres compared to previous models to improve efficiency.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Delta Rent<\/a>, which has one of the largest rental fleets in Australia, supplied the Victorian operation with two articulated dump trucks and two front-wheel loaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The articulated dump trucks are designed for off-road sites which require heavy-duty usage, predictive gear selection, downhill speed control and a high payload capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walker said it was crucial Delta Rent was able to match the needs of the site with machines in its fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey run through pretty hard conditions in winter and all our tracks are clay, which can become quite wet. Despite the weather conditions, we still need to operate as much as we can,\u201d Walker said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDelta Rent provides us with very reliable trucks, along with superior comfort for the operators.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the key features the front end wheel loaders offer is a large capacity of 7.1 cubic metres, allowing 11.5 per cent more material to be loaded than previous models. This enables the road trucks to be loaded and sent out faster, increasing the site\u2019s efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Rent Account Manager Andrew Hagan<\/strong> said the company focused on the customer\u2019s needs, with a rental and service based model that customers can rely on to help operations run smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of the articulated hauler, its ability to handle \u201cwet and uneven terrain very well\u201d became a major factor given Holcim\u2019s Grantville site, according to Hagan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe turnaround time to get trucks in and loaded was definitely seen as a benefit because they didn\u2019t want trucks lining up at the gate, you just want them out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFuel burn was also a critical factor to the operation to lower production costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe support and 24\u20137 service Delta Rent provides is reliable, consistent, and gives our customers comfort knowing they can access immediate help when they need it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delta Rent provides maintenance on the high-risk and capital-intensive machines to ease pressures for workers on-site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The support system minimises unexpected maintenance and associated downtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe rely on Delta\u2019s after-hours service, so when something breaks down and we need it repaired pretty quickly, they\u2019re onto it immediately,\u201d Walker said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI manage the gear and liaise with Delta to do all the repairs and upkeep of the trucks. They\u2019re usually pretty prompt getting out and getting the gear repaired as quickly as they can, which works for us because if the machine isn\u2019t running, it is downtime for us and loss of production.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walker, who has spent around 40 years in the industry, really appreciates the level of service and quality of the machines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve always been a good company to deal with, and they\u2019re very good at keeping their gear on the move,\u201d Walker said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKnowing Delta Rent is there helps us maintain focus on our core business.\u201d\u2002<\/p>\n\n\n\n
