Diesel & Motor Engineering PLC (DIMO) recently joined hands with LeeBoy India Construction Equipment Ltd. (LeeBoy India) to market its products as its exclusive distributor in Sri Lanka.
Initially, DIMO will promote the LeeBoy Backhoe Loader 699, which is packed with smart features and has been engineered and manufactured to the highest international standards to help companies in the road construction and excavation segments of the infrastructure industry enhance their operational efficiency and productivity.
LeeBoy has been pioneering road construction equipment and solutions for half a century in the US since its inception in the 1964 and has earned recognition for the quality, depth and width of its innovative designs and for providing customers with value.
LeeBoy products are the result of an intense engineering effort that factors in deeper customer insights and offer comprehensive solutions for improving the uptime, serviceability and productivity at work sites. These machines come equipped with an ergonomically designed, comfortable cabin and well thought out safety features.
The new generation of LeeBoy backhoe loaders embodies LeeBoy’s commitment to excellence in engineering and manufacturing. Powered by 100hp state-of-the-art engines, the 699 comes with standard features that include 4WD, side-shift, extended dipper, multi-purpose bucket and an air conditioned cabin. Unlike its peers, the 699 comes with the engine of a 14-ton excavator and is therefore geared to perform under extreme duty cycles and tough environmental conditions.
LeeBoy India President and CEO Kamal Bali commented: “At LeeBoy India, we are working relentlessly towards minimising customers’ pain points by enhancing our equipment’s productive performance, uptime and the ease of operation and maintenance, so that our customers can singularly focus on their business outcomes, which manifests in successful and timely completion of their projects, at optimum cost. With the addition of these globally marketable machines to our portfolio, we are well positioned to play a significant role in the industry.”
This collaboration with DIMO marks a significant milestone – heralding the arrival of the LeeBoy brand into Sri Lanka. Customers in this market will benefit from DIMO’s extensive customer support network strategically located all across Sri Lanka, ably supported by LeeBoy’s cutting-edge products, which includes product training and technical back-up from the LeeBoy team of specialists and engineers.
