New distributorship for BMG
March 2011
News
BMG Hydraulics has been appointed as a distributor of the Enerpac range of hydraulic cylinders, pumps and related products. “This distribution agreement forms part of BMG’s strategic plan, which is to broaden the group’s product offering and solutions capability in the marketplace,” says Mark Johnson, national sales manager for BMG Hydraulics. “BMG’s solutions driven approach to engineering encompasses a project management and consulting facility that integrates different technologies, from hydraulics and pneumatics, to electronics and information technology.”
BMG’s Enerpac range includes tools and equipment for most industrial segments from small cylinders to computer controlled systems for lifting large structures. Also a new range of electric pumps has been launched to the local market. The new high-efficiency design results in higher flow and bypass pressure, as well as lower operating temperatures. Pumps in the new Enerpac range include the ZE-series, which has been designed for extended, high-speed and heavy-duty applications with medium to large size cylinders and ZE standard electric pumps with manual valves.
