SUNWARD Europe is helping international solar park specialist TQES to move its expertise from Cyprus to the UK.
TQES was already familiar with the brand, having hired a Sunward machine from Cyprus-based construction equipment supplier Greson Tools for work on a solar park.
In the UK, the business was properly introduced to the Sunward range by local dealer Suffolk Plant Machinery and in the past year has bought a total of nine Sunward machines.
The most recent acquisition was a SWTL 4538 compact track loader to add to a fleet of five skid steers, a six-tonne SWE 60UF compact excavator, a nine-tonne SWE 90UF compact digger, and a 21-tonne SWE 215F medium excavator.
All the Sunward machines are working on renewables projects, specifically at solar parks
in the UK and Italy.
TQES MD Konstantinos Vamvakopoulos said, “When Suffolk Plant Machinery explained the benefits of linking up with Sunward, in terms of value of money and finance packages, we didn’t hesitate to proceed with orders.
“When the first compact track loader arrived on our first 50MW PV plant there was a lot of positive feedback from our operators, nothing negative at all unlike other manufacturers’ compact track loaders. So, we proceeded with the next two orders within a month while TQES won a contract for 195MW of solar parks within the UK and another 90MW in Europe.
“After that, we proceeded with two excavators to support us in civil works within commercial solar parks. And then another small-size excavator and one skid steer. Sunward’s after-sales service through Suffolk Plant Machinery is amazing, with mobile support units for speedy check-ups, and clear procedures of how to communicate for solutions.”
