ABOUT SEM

SEM branded machines have been manufactured for more than 60 years, becoming a subsidiary of Barloworld Equipment in 2008. With 13 years on the market, SEM machinery is now sold exclusively through Barloworld Equipment dealers – recognized for its affordability, reliability, and global serviceability. As a Caterpillar® brand, SEM has established dedicated distribution channels covering more than 90 countries, and product support for after-sale solutions and services. SEM equipment has been expertly engineered to suit a vast range of applications, providing high reliability and durability, high performance, ease of operation, and efficient output, to lower your operation costs and improve uptime.

MINING & AGRICULTURE

Mining and agricultural construction projects are vital to undertake and maintain to keep urban infrastructure at optimal functioning levels. Mining operations such as quarry and coal mining, mine surface stripping, mine road construction and maintenance, site cleaning, material loading, and transportation all require durable, reliable equipment that can produce the highest standard of application results, efficiently. SEM machines don’t only meet your project needs, they match them. The SEM wheel loader is one of the most suitable machines for mining applications, along with the SEM track type tractor. These powerful, compact machines are versatile and efficient enough to meet the needs of every suitable mining application.
Agricultural construction and maintenance is another industry that is vital to the cohesive upkeep of municipal areas. Operations such as land reconstruction, afforestation, fishpond construction, and other projects involving trenching, leveling, backfilling, and earthmoving applications are no challenge for equipment like SEM wheel loaders, track type tractors, soil compactors, and motor graders.

SEM MACHINES

All SEM machines are reliable offer uncompromised reliability, safety, and increased on-site productivity, forming the optimal solution to increase your uptime so that you can reach your bottom line. SEM equipment ranges all provide operational comfort, perform at high efficiency, high productivity, and high reliability, all manufactured to lower operating costs and decrease downtime. These features and functionalities are maintained at the highest standard across all SEM equipment, let’s take a look at specified operational components designed to make each SEM machine best suited to the application demands.

• SEM wheel loaders are compact, resilient machines. Their larger bucket capacity and an increased hydraulic cycle time results in higher efficiency and overall increased productivity. Higher maximum speed capabilities deliver high transport productivity periods, as well as a faster second gear speed – resulting in a shorter loading cycle. With the addition of performance series bucket attachments, the SEM wheel loader can load 10% - 15% more material in the same conditions, which in conjunction with large traction force, makes penetrating materials with the bucket easy; saving fuel and improving productivity.
• The versatile SEM track type tractor is the ideal, cost-efficient industry solution. Mature hydrostatic transmission technology means that projects can observe an operating efficiency of 30% year on year. The large space canopy and multi-functional electrical lever of an SEM track type tractor make for a smooth, comfortable operation, whilst still maintaining good serviceability, low maintenance costs, and reliable, world-class core pump and motor components.
• SEM motor graders deliver exceptional surface grading and leveling performance. With new additions of a larger cab on the front frame to view the blade and front axel during the application, easy operation of this machine has been designed to deliver system operators with outstanding “feel” and mechanic control. SEM motor graders have a specially designed tandem axel, a flanged large front frame box section, and an A-shape drawbar frame, all engineered to handle heavy-duty applications, whilst still providing excellent reliability and durability.
• SEM soil compactors are essential machines for operations that require compacting soil and aggregates in residential, commercial, and industrial site preparations. SEM soil compactors utilize the proven Cat® pod type vibration system, matching the hydraulic components of world-renowned brands and challenging industry power and transmission system standards. The hydraulic system consists of closed, highly pressurized components that drive the pod-style vibratory system, resulting in smooth and consistent operational outputs. The vibratory system is also matched with travel speeds, providing excellent compaction performance, efficiency, and ease of overall operation.
  All SEM machines offer a vast range of industry solutions. World-renowned Cat® reliability and support is now a cost-efficient option for your mining and agricultural needs with SEM. SEM machines are also offered through tailored financing solutions to fit your project budget and equipment requirements, along with an equipment protection plan, to ensure your equipment is maintained and optimal productivity is achieved.
