While a wet spring may have caused numerous starts and stops for you, it hasn’t dampened the overall market activity and growing confidence in our industry. Recent data provides hope that the worst is behind us as the season turns to summer.
Another positive sign is an industry-wide increase in recruitment and focus on growth. We are following suit at SMS Equipment by investing in our company with personnel and training. Excellent service and safety are our top priorities. As an organization, we are deeply committed to the well-being of our people and those with whom they work.
You can be assured that when our employees arrive at your site, they will do whatever it takes to meet your goals and make sure everyone returns to their families safely.
Having the right people in place is important to maintaining an efficient operation and providing them with the best technology on the market can take your company to another level. By now, you are familiar with Komatsu and its revolutionary intelligent Machine Control equipment. Large pieces like the PC490LCi excavator and D155AXi dozer offer the ability to move sizable amounts of material while maintaining a consistent grade and using significantly less fuel. In addition to efficiency on the jobsite, both are Tier 4 machines, which means they are backed by SMS Equipment through the Komatsu CARE program that provides complimentary service maintenance at 500-hour intervals for the first 2,000 hours or three years of operation. In addition, KOMTRAX, Komatsu’s telematics service, keeps you informed of notable machine health issues, location changes, idle time and more – so you can be proactive with machine care and look for efficiencies that will save your operation time and money.

Komatsu’s best-in-class technology is also available at the mining-class level. The 980E-4 is Komatsu’s largest haul truck with 400 tons of capacity. The electric-drive truck can be equipped with Komatsu’s driverless system, which uses high-precision GPS navigation, an obstacle-detection system and a supervisory computer to operate and control the 980E-4. This gives you the ability to work in remote mines or unfavorable conditions where operator safety may be a concern.
