MISSION STATEMENT

To deliver high quality, best practice, sugar cane harvesting solutions to worldwide markets and
be praised by end users as the industry benchmark for providing product innovation and ownership value.

Company Overview

 

CANETEC Pty Ltd (formerly Bundaberg Mobile Equipment) is an  Australian-owned sugar cane equipment manufacturer and high-quality engineering services business.

Our traditional customer base is the Australian sugar cane growing industry, however, our export business is rapidly expanding to other parts of the Oceania region and Asia. Meanwhile, our engineering services have also grown to include a more diverse agriculture market along with the mining and waste management industries.

CANETEC’s reputation for providing high-quality products on-time and on-budget is the result of:

  • Building an experienced team of passionate and skilled engineers, trades technicians and support staff
  • Using LEAN manufacturing principles to achieve optimum quality control, continuous improvement and waste minimisation
  • Working with strategic partners whose values are aligned with ours and whose strengths complement ours
  • Listening to customer needs
  • Bespoke product development and customised solutions
  • Working with industry organisations such as Sugar Research Australia to achieve ‘best practice’ harvest outcomes

Our company also has a rich history of involvement of in the sugar cane industry that goes back decades before we became known as CANETEC. To this day, we still access the experience and knowledge of many past directors and senior managers who have learnt from past experience and helped shape our future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Core Strengths

 

What Makes Canetec Different?

 

Performance & Profitability for Growers

When used in line with best practice methodology, CANETEC’S harvesters are demonstrating superior performance in a number of key areas that help growers improve profitability.

These include:

  • Easier and faster turning at the end of runs
  • Better fuel efficiency than many competitors
  • Less soil compaction as a result of lightweight, but strong, construction
  • Minimal fibre and ash in the harvested product
  • Improved stalk condition post-harvest prolonging ratooning

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We Build the Machine You Need

Our ‘made to order’ manufacturing process means that our standard specifications can be modified to meet the specific needs of the grower.

  • Tighter turning circle
  • Enhanced operator comfort
  • Ability to drive on soft or damp soils
  • Additional features such tool storage

AUSTRALIAN BUILT

CANETEC is a proudly Australian business. Our products are built in Australia for reliability and performance under Australian conditions.

However, it’s not just Australian customers who are benefiting from our high standards. We also have customers in other parts of the world (particularly Asia) who are enjoying the superior performance of our harvesters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PRODUCTS

AX9000

The AX9000 is the lightest and most fuel efficient harvester in its class. But don’t let its lighter weight mislead you. This harvester is cleverly designed and built tough to handle a large range of conditions. It is robust while being highly manoeuvrable and leaving behind minimal soil compaction.

The AX9000 is powered by a Cummins electronic-controlled engine that will deliver years of reliable performance. The CANbus control system is fully integrated with the Cummins ECM for precise and efficient operation.

 

AX5000

The AX5000 series offers three different harvesters all designed to offer outstanding manoeuvrability. All boast a narrow row width and high cabin visibility making the AX5000 series ideal for even the tightest field spaces. They are the perfect solution when you need a harvester with superior mobility that can handle a range of conditions. 

The AX5000 Elevator Track Harvester includes a secondary extractor providing final cleaning while the AX5000 Bag Track Harvester has a 1 tonne bag capacity. Both models use a hydraulic system and are powered by a QSB 6.7litre turbo charged diesel engine coupled with a cooling system for reliable and powerful performance.

Planters

The CANETEC Cane Billet Planter delivers efficient planting with a hopper capacity of 2500kg, and a fertiliser feed rate of 100-500kg/ha.

Tracked Machines

CANETEC’s harvesters can be manufactured with tracks to tackle heavy-going conditions such as those found in the tropics.
