Cobra Equipment offers a wide variety of customisable features to adapt Shantui machines to the requirements of rural property owners and contractors
Cobra Equipment Sales has recently sold another Shantui DH24-C3 bulldozer, which has several options customised for a customer in southern New South Wales.
The Shantui DH24-C3 series is proving to be a sales success with several units sold and operating in both Queensland and NSW.
As the bigger brother to the popular DH17-C3, the DH24-C3 has been the bulldozer of choice for many rural property owners and contractors.
The 196kW (263hp) DH24-C3 weighs approximately 26,466kg without forestry protection, while the 152kW (204hp) DH17-C3 weighs in at approximately 19,223kg without forestry protection.
This recent DH24-C3 has been sold with an extra heavy duty semi U blade with tilt, SALT (sealed and lubricated track chains) with ‘alligator’ joining links and extra-wide 610mm heavy duty track plates.
Cobra Equipment Sales has included forestry protection on the bulldozer, which is becoming the norm for its bulldozer orders, as this is a standard feature for the majority of contractors and landowners purchasing these machines.
The forestry protection comes with mesh covered side and rear windows and with mesh protection for the front of the cabin.
Cobra Equipment Sales has also provided machines with heavier protection for bulldozers working in heavily timbered areas, such as fitted full length scrub canopies. Most of these machines have also been fitted with custom-made stick rakes, tree spears and blade ploughs.
The DH17-C3 and DH24-C3 models are both powered by Tier 3 Weichai engines, which Cobra says are very fuel efficient.
Several Cobra Equipment customers are reporting a fuel saving of seven to eight litres per hour compared to the mainstream brands working on the same jobs.
Apart from the fuel economy, Cobra says the engines run very clean, with customers saying the engine oil is clear when changing.
Other extra features available on the DH24-C3 units include quality air-suspension seats with Cobra seat covers, auto greasing, reverse engine fans (on the DH24-C3), large well-appointed cabins and remote hydraulics.
Cobra says the remote hydraulics feature, which it developed for Shantui bulldozers, is proving to be particularly popular.
Other options such as emergency stops, UHF radios, reverse cameras, extra fire extinguishers, etc, can be fitted prior to delivery.
Cobra Equipment Sales can also supply bulldozers with a GNSS (global navigation satellite system).
With so many customisable options available, Cobra Equipment Sales offers a focused approach in supplying machines with the features that are needed for customers’ specific applications.
With a double warranty that is factory-supported but honoured and supported by Cobra directly, purchasers of Shantui equipment from Cobra can have confidence in the ongoing one-on-one support provided by a company operating since 2005.
