Onetrak is helping quarries undertake new campaigns and projects to provide a complete solution for different applications.
Purchasing any heavy machinery is a serious investment, one that quarries might not be able to afford.
This can be especially true for short-term projects, where extra capacity is needed, but a permanent solution isn’t necessarily required.
Onetrak business manager Heiner Guenzel said there is increasing demand for equipment in the Australian quarrying and mining sectors.
“When purchasing new equipment, customers need a financial plan, as it is a big expense,” he told Quarry. “That’s why rent to buy is a good option.”
“By renting, a company can instead make a short-term calculation and include costs in operational expenses, allowing them to take on more opportunities with less risk.
“After a certain amount of time, there is also the opportunity to purchase the equipment that has been rented.”
Onetrak started offering rental and rent to buy solutions to quarries, mines and contractors in 2019 and has continuously invested in its rental fleet ever since. The company works closely with its customers to find the right solution, using its range of Anaconda, Striker, and Hidromek equipment.
Every campaign and each customer can have its differences which is why Onetrak delivers a tailored approach for its customers. Onetrak’s team puts together a package that can deliver exactly what the client is looking for, including conveyors, excavators, wheel loaders, crushers, screens, and more.
A key part of ensuring the client gets the right equipment for the job is to know the application. Onetrak sends its teams out to site to look at the application in person to ensure they can choose the right machinery.
It’s proven to be a successful business model, with customers ranging from small family-owned quarries to major operators in the sector.
Guenzel said the practice of rent to buy is a proven international model, especially in the United States.
“It’s a very common model because the customer has the chance to find out if the machine is the right fit for the application,” he said.
“They can check if the machine is correct, the service from the company is correct, the expertise from the supplier is correct, and then turn from renter into buyer with minimal risk.
“We’ve had very good feedback from original equipment manufacturer Anaconda, who has a lot of experience operating in this way.”
To support its rental program, Onetrak operates across eight branches across the country. Each branch carries important components and wear parts for crushing and screening, along with a full fleet of trucks.
It also has a dedicated service team that is equipped to help quarries roll out new rental equipment.
Guenzel said each team has specialists that are highly experienced and can ensure the equipment is set-up and operating correctly.
“They know what to look for to help avoid any mistakes on site. It’s part of the package,” he said.
“We have our dedicated teams come out and train the customer’s staff on how to operate the equipment to get the best value for money.
It can also call upon support from Anaconda’s and Striker’s factories as well, if needed.
Guenzel said Onetrak has needed to significantly expand its rental fleet to keep up with the growing demand for the service.
“We’re seeing high demand from aggregate producers all around Australia, especially on the Central Coast in New South Wales and also around Brisbane,” he said.
“Our branch offices there are already serving our customers, and we are excited to continue growing.”
