27/3/24 – News update

To all of our customers,

We wish to let you all know that here at Litemore Equipment we have come to the decision to close our doors. It has been a long, tough decision to make for us here with multiple factors that have all weighed in on the discussions we’ve had. Whether it’s been the rising cost of everything, staff shortages etc but also personal and family things that have occurred recently have all weighed in on our decision.

So basically, due to these and others beyond our control after over 40 years of being in business we are now unfortunately closing up shop. We would like to thank every one of you who has dealt with us over the years, whether it was a one off or long term we really appreciated it all. We will still be around to try assist where we can in the meantime as we empty the shed here in Unanderra out for sale, we estimate final closure to be in approximately 6 months (but anyone who knows Dad will know how much we have here so it could take a while). Also, if there is anything we have that you may want like machinery, tools, parts etc feel free to get in touch and we will see what we can do.

To all our JCB and Scag customers we are sorry for this to come to an end and feel terrible to be leaving you in a bit of a lurch. As stated above we will be around and do our best to support and assist you all where we can. Unfortunately, this will only be possible in the short term as once we are turned off their systems we will no longer be able to get parts, service info etc. any more. We do not have a timeframe as to how quick this will happen but both companies have been notified of our closure so it is underway, how quick our dealerships are officially terminated is anyone’s guess at the moment.

We assume both products will appoint new dealers to take over and continue to grow both these great brands in our local area. In the meantime, for JCB depending on your location, your closest dealers at the moment will either be the JCB CEA branch at Horningsea Park (02 9609 6033) or Roylances in Fyshwick (02 6280 6198). Either one of these will be able to continue servicing you in the future. For Scag your best option will be on the Scag Australia website (https://scagaustralia.com.au) as this will show the closest dealer to you, and new ones seem to be popping up all over the place.

To all our current hire customers we will be in touch individually to work out the best way forwards for you.

So, on that note once again we sincerely thank all of you for your business over the years and wish you all the best in future

Regards
Peter and Wesley Morris
