Novatron’s Xsite 3D machine control system and end-user support services are the first choice for rental fleet operators

Novatron’s easy-to-use Xsite® 3D machine control system, supplemented by a service agreement, is a popular choice for earthmoving machine rental fleet operations. Xsite® machine control systems and remote user support guarantee operators in the field a competitive and worry-free set of accessories. Developed for demanding Nordic needs, the solution has proven to be excellent for the customer base of Volvo Construction Equipment Finland Oy and the Norwegian construction contractor Sartor Drange As.

Novatron is the leading provider of systems and user support in Finland

When Volvo Construction Equipment Finland Oy decided to start a machine rental business one year ago, the then Rental Manager Ms. Virva Sipilä knew what to do.

“There was no question about it, we immediately started using Novatron’s systems,” says Sipilä.

Volvo’s rental fleet includes both tracked and wheeled earthmoving machines. The company had already been working with Novatron for years in the area of machine sales and was familiar with its customers’ preferences.

“Novatron is the leading player in this field. I have complete confidence in their service, and customer feedback has been very positive. Work never stops with Novatron,” says Sipilä.

To date, more than thirty Novatron’s Xsite® systems have been installed on Volvo’s machines.

With an efficient and easy-to-use machine control system, the work can be done as quickly as possible and with a small carbon footprint. This is important, as Volvo places particular emphasis on environmental friendliness in its operations. The rental business itself is a responsible use of resources, but the offering of machines also includes electric-powered earthmoving machines. The zero emissions, high power, and quiet operation of electric machines make them ideal for a variety of work sites, from urban earthmoving and demolition to landscaping and agriculture.

Novatron’s machine control systems are suitable for various earthmoving machines and brands. The most important thing is to offer end-users a choice they like and an easy user experience.

Xsited in Norway

Novatron’s Xsite Dealer network provides high-quality systems and services to machine dealers and rental fleet operators internationally.

The Norwegian construction contractor Sartor & Drange As was founded in 2021 when the long-established companies Drange Maskin and Sartor Maskin merged. These companies had been operating independently since the 1980s.

Thanks to this growth, Sartor & Drange has risen to a prominent position in the Bergen region of Norway, where the company now has around 180 employees and a large number of subcontractors. The company also operates a large rental fleet. Novatron’s local Xsite distributor, Hella Maskin, provides the company with 3D machine control systems and related services.

“Our core business is groundwork, and our employees are mainly local professionals with solid theoretical and practical expertise,” says Mr. Bjørn Ove Hetlevik, the company’s Machine Manager.

“We find Xsite machine control system to be durable, reliable, and user-friendly, and it increases productivity. Our users are very satisfied with the system,” says Hetlevik.

All 53 of their excavators weighing over 8 tons are equipped with the Xsite machine control system.

“The advantage of using this system is that we can change users without them having to learn a new system. It also saves time for our measurement engineers who supply data to the machines,” says Hetlevik.

“We have been customers of Hella Maskin since 2000, and we have had only good experiences with both the system and the supplier,” says Hetlevik.

A proven concept that works

Novatron offers comprehensive services in Finland to representatives of various earthmoving equipment brands and rental equipment suppliers. International customers are served by the Xsite Dealer network, which operates under the same service promise as Novatron.

“We want to be the easy choice for our customers, from installation to end-user technical support,” tells Mr. Matti Luoranen, Novatron’s Regional Sales Manager in Finland, about the successful service concept.
