Corrosive materials industries turn to SDLG

Corrosive Industries 2For some companies, handling materials that slowly degrade equipment is part of the job. Many are turning to SDLG wheel loaders for a value for money option.

Sylvite knows a thing or two about corroded equipment. It’s one of North America’s leading fertilizer distribution companies, dealing in industrial grade fertilizers and commodity fertilizers. From sea to far inland, the company is tasked with moving huge amounts of these chemicals around the region, and in the process, its equipment takes quite a beating.

Inevitable degradation of Sylvite’s industrial equipment is why one branch of the company is turning to SDLG wheel loaders to mitigate the damage. Lakeland, Fla.-based Sylvite recently purchased an SDLG LG959, in lieu of a more expensive machine. With far fewer electronic parts subjected to corrosive material, there is much less damage to the wheel loader – and to Sylvite’s bottom line.

Fewer electronics means fewer computer components and less wiring – essentially, less to be damaged from chemicals. Sylvite is first able to save money with its value-priced SDLG wheel loader over a more expensive premium machine, and again saves money with less repairs and maintenance. (Source: SDLG)
