A concrete producer in Indonesia is saving on its operating costs since it started using SDLG wheeled loaders in its machine fleet. The firm, PT Varia Usaha Beton, bought 10 new SDLG wheeled loaders to help it move aggregates at both batching plants and crushing plants it owns in East Java and West Java.


At the batching plants and crushing plants that concrete producer PT Varia Usaha Beton owns across East Java and Central Java in Indonesia, stockpiled stone must be transported to hoppers on-site for crushing daily.

The transportation of these materials is a relatively simple task, with no need for the features of premium machines. So, when the concrete producer was in the market recently for wheeled loaders to fulfill this role, it opted for 5316 SDLG’s cost-effective machines.

“In concrete production, wheeled loaders carry out simple load-and-carry operations. We don’t need premium features which would cost us money we don’t need to spend,” said Didit, a production manager at one of PT Varia Usaha Beton’s crushing plants. “We were able to buy up to 10 units, which will help our batching plants and crushing plants keep pace with concrete production demands.”

The crushing plant where Didit is based is in Pasuruan, a city in East Java. An L956F, one of the 10 new SDLG wheeled loaders (comprising five L956F units and five LG936L units) bought by PT Varia Usaha Beton, is deployed on-site. The machine makes hundreds of trips daily between the stockpiled material and the hopper at the plant’s sprawling facility, which features inclines of up to 15°.

PT Varia Usaha Beton was established in 1988. It is a supplier of concrete and building materials in Java, Indonesia. In addition to ready-made concrete, the company also provides precast concrete, concrete masonry units, and crushed stone and sand.
