Purchasing the best value over the life of a machine

Never before have local governments faced tighter budgetry restraints.

And when you consider that nearly 85 per cent of Australian roads are the responsibility of local governments, and most of them are unsealed and require frequent maintenance, local governments indeed face challenging times.

WesTrac recognises these challenges and offers a sophisticated program to assist local governments and shires manage their critical machinery costs.

The Caterpillar "Whole of Life Costs" (WLC) program calculates the total cost of a machine over the entire life of that machine – the most accurate way to compare its true costs.

Our experience proves that with WLC, you purchase the most reliable machine available on a total, long-term basis rather than settling for the lowest initial price. It allows you to factor in those hidden costs of repairs and maintenance, supporting local government’s desire for value for money competitive purchasing.

WesTrac supplies over 60 per cent of local government machinery requirements in NSW, WA and ACT, such as rugged  Motor Graders, Wheel Loaders, Backhoe Loaders and Rollers.  And we support it with the most comprehensive network of branches, parts distribution, after sales and field service and renting options available to local governments and shires.

To arrange a local WesTrac branch to provide you with a customised calculation that will compare the owning and operating costs of different manufacturer's machines and help you realise the best value for your money, contact us today.
