EXCON has always been the priority in terms of Expo participation and promotion. Spartan Engineering have been one of the lead sponsors for EXCON in 2013 and had 500 sq. metres outdoor stall displaying a mammoth Spartan Castle as the theme.

Commenting on EXCON, Dr. Vikram Mehta, MD, Spartan Engineering Industries Pvt Ltd said, “It (EXCON) is one of the best platforms to interact with customers, introduce our new products and built trust and faith in us. This year our core objective would be to introduce our new products other than our India’s largest selling cutting, bending machines and hoists.”

SML to revolutionalise man and material movement
Spartan is going to launch a product, which is expected to revolutionalise material movement for the projects not more than 70 metres. In Spartan’s effort to ban the unsafe builder hoist, Spartan has come up with a product which would replace the obsolete technology. The product is Spartan Multifunctional Minilift (SML 100). It is a wire rope driven Minilift which can carry various material till 1 tonne capacity and Spartan Multifunctional Minilift (SML 50) is a wire rope driven Minilift carrying 500 kgs. Mehta informs, “These machines come with different attachments for carrying different material and are very cost effective. This machine comes with attachments like passenger MiniCage, rebar carrier, bricks carrier, sand bucket, material basket, concrete bucket, glass or marble lifter and wheel barrow. SML comes with optional features like wireless remote control and over load protection.”

About SRPL
Spartan would also be launching Sky Climber series of Rope Suspended Passenger and Material Lift (SRPL) which is available in 2 variants of 700 kgs and 800 kgs. It is the best alternative to scaffolding for all activities to be carried out in lift shafts like rail installation, plastering, painting and pipe fitting. It comes with various features like:
• Control panel
• Drive unit
• Guide rollers
• Side extension cage
• Safety lock device
• Ladder
• Wheels.

It comes with various arrangements to install depending on the specifications available of the Lift Shaft.

Spartan’s SML 100 and SML 50
Spartan’s SML 100 and SML 50 are basically targeted to contractors and developers who have projects till 70 or 80 metres. Currently, they use builder hoist which is unsafe and obsolete technology.

Spartan’s SRPL series of machines is an alternative to the contractors who are into rail installation, plastering, painting and pipe fitting in lift shafts. “Currently, 90 per cent of them use scaffolding which is a high risk option,” informs Mehta

Mehta believes that these products will give us a deeper penetration in market. This would open the Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets for us. As there is less or no competition, we expect to gain faster market share of the TA. He further adds, “This would also open our market to application like carrying concrete, glass marble etc. Overall we would expect to gain current market share of builder hoist and scaffolding.”
