seriously and as soon as this issue came
to light I and the Dingli team were on a
plane to China to work through a solution

Rheinland to complete stability testing
on the slab scissor range and a report has
been received confirming the stability of
the machines will comply with Australian
Standards once the retrofit has been
installed.
“Dingli has also been in close contact
with the EWPA and is keeping them
informed regarding the stability issues
and would like to thank them for their
professionalism and support,” Ray said.
“Affected customers have been contacted
and advised of the interim restricted use
measures that have been put into place
to ensure the safety of the machines and
their operators, prior to the retrofit. Dingli
Dingli to back its products with retrofit and service

during these difficult times. The roll out of
the retrofit is now well underway and we
hope to complete it soon.

inauguration in 2009 we will be attending
the Hire and Rental Show on the Gold
Coast.
"Representatives from Dingli China will
be on the stand and will be happy to
