Gujarat based Uniter Engineering Products is into road construction machinery manufacturing since 1973. Recently the company has introduced a new paver Model UHD-45. Here, the company’s Managing Partner Sanjay Sureliya gives an overview of the company’s business and highlights the unique features of new paver. Excerpts:

Could you brief us about your company?
Uniter Engineering Products is a Gujarat based leading manufacturer of quality paver finisher machines in India. We carry business legacy of more than four decades started in name of Unitor Engineering Products. With the motto of establishing as quality brand product the company meets high standards in terms of quality, performance and operation. We are pioneer in indigenous developing and manufacturing of hydrostatic drive paver finisher with electronic sensor for slope and grade control.

How do you see the opportunities in this industry in coming time?
With the role out of the GST in near time and intense focus from government for initiating policies that would ensure time-bound creation of world class infrastructure in our country. This financial year will be a turning point in the history of infrastructure development. Minister of Road Transport & Highways and Shipping, Nitin Gadkari has again set a high target for NHAI in this financial year – 6,000 km for construction and 10,000 km for award. Last year, it built and expanded about 2,600 km and the allocation to the national highways sector was also increased by 12 per cent to Rs 64,900 crore for 2017-18 as the sector has always been a priority sector for the government.

Apart from manufacturing good quality paver machines what are the other factors that you look forward to attain?
Customer relationship is our priority from the start of our organisation. We have always focused on understanding customer demands and give them good product with good service. We try to give solutions utilising easy available resources and benefit the customer. We have a customer oriented mind set which is reflected in our every move.

You provide wide range of paver finisher machines for road construction projects. What makes you different from others standing in the market?
There are several factors which make our paver finishers unique. A couple of them is the machine is easy to operate and maintain; robust design that gives long life of operation and good visibility & comfortable operating for operator.

Tell us about your new development in paver finisher machines.
We have developed a new paver Model UHD-45 for less maintenance and increased productivity. This paver finisher is an upgraded version of the conventional mechanical paver finishers. This machine is specially designed for paving road upto width from 2.5 metres to 4.5 metres. As the size is compact it is easy to work and relocate. It is equipped with hydrostatic drive for traction and hydraulic drive for conveyor for paving. Hydrostatic drive for traction gives stepless speed from zero to maximum and has only two gears low for working and high for travelling. Clutches are not there in hydrostatic drive. Hydraulic drive is very smooth in working and has very less maintenance as compared to mechanical drive. Special care was been taken for easy operation and servicing in the machine.

Have you diversified into new business segments?
Yes, we have diversified into providing unconventional construction machinery solutions for road and other civil construction projects. Lastly we had manufactured paver with parabolic screed for test track paving and power packs for holding paver and rolling equipment while working on slope. We put lots of effort on designing, innovation and in-house research so that customers get good quality products on competitive prices. To grow with them and enhancing their adaptability to newer technologies is the goal.
