Komatsu Australia General Manager Product Management Components Tom Zube said the expansion of component solutions is part of Komatsu's commitment to serving the needs of customers.

"In a changing market, there is a risk that ourcustomers may continue to stretch components pastthe recommended point at which they should be replaced in an attempt to reduce costs," he said.

"This creates the potential for undue wear ordamage to components, leading to more expensive repairs, reduced efficiency and may even risk safety.

"The solution is taking our product range anddelivering it in a different way. We want to say yes more often".

"We are a company that can provide a full rangeof options across the whole country, for thecustomer, which is why we have worked hardto develop solutions that reduce costs, lower risks and cater to a cross-section of diverse and unique business needs. It is simply a matter of customers determining which option best suits them," Mr Zube said.
