Check out this beast of a Kobelco SK225SR-7 running a mean Intermercato grapple saw. 🪚

We had the pleasure of delivering this machine to a customer in Melbourne earlier in the year, and of course we had to give the saw a bit of a test run before handing it over. What an absolute weapon.

The SK225SR-7 is an awesome machine for this kind of work. It has plenty of hydraulic flow to keep the saw spinning, plenty of lift capacity to hold the timber, and no AdBlue or DPF to worry about.

Intermercato GS1825 rotating grapple saw specs:

Suits 18 to 25 tonne excavators
Rigid mount with worm drive rotator and 360 degree rotation

One week to go until Elmore Field Days

It's almost here. Next week we'll be at Elmore Field Days, and we'd love to see you there if you are heading to the show!

You'll find us at Stand 1241, set up alongside our mates from Northern Hire Group Pty Ltd. We're bringing an awesome range of machinery to the show, so it's a great chance to get up close, have a proper look and ask the team whatever you like. Whether you're after a machine for a specific job or just want a yarn about what's out there, we're happy to chat.

We've also put together some giveaways for the show, including a remote controlled Kobelco SK500XDLC. It's a ripper, and we reckon the kids (and a few of the big kids) will love it.

If you're heading along, come and say hi. It's always good to put faces to names, catch up with familiar faces and meet some new ones too.

Stand 1241, Elmore Field Days. See you there!

From backhoes to Merlo telehandlers — see why FRR Cinel says they'll never look back.

For over 40 years, FRR Cinel has been building the substations and terminal stations that keep Victoria's power flowing. It's precise, high-risk work — think transformers, live overhead lines, and tight sites where a wrong move isn't an option.

That's why Director Ralph Cinel trusts Merlo TF27.6 telehandlers for the job. "The Merlos are accurate and precise with lifting, and very smooth," Ralph says. Their compact, low-profile design lets crews get into restricted areas that larger equipment simply can't reach, while all-round cab visibility keeps operators safely aware of the electrical infrastructure around them.

Ralph's been dealing with Melbourne Tractors for over a decade, and he says it's about more than just the machine: "The service and backup are impeccable. That's everything."

With FRR Cinel booked out for the next two and a half years on substation projects, dependable equipment isn't optional — and Ralph's already planning to add another Merlo to the fleet.

Always great calling in on our good mates at United Rentals for a catch up! Couldn't help but snap a few pics on our last visit of a nice lineup of Kobelcos sitting pretty in their yard.

From the compact but mighty SK135SR, up through the ever-popular SK235SR, all the way to the big SK300LC-10 - these machines are a perfect fit for hire companies who need gear that can handle whatever the next job throws at it. Reliable, fuel-efficient, and built tough for the rental life where downtime just isn't an option.

Huge thanks to the team at United Rentals for their continued trust in Kobelco and for always making time for a chat when we're passing through. It's partnerships like this that keep the wheels turning for hire companies and their customers alike.

Here's to many more yard visits and Kobelcos out there earning their keep.
