When it comes to compact equipment, Yanmar has long been at the top. For Yanmar dealers such as CEBEKO, proximity, speed, reliability and quality of service are therefore paramount. West Flanders contractor Lamote can confirm that. “The equipment is of very good quality and especially in terms of service, CEBEKO scores high,” says managing director Edward Lamote.
The firm Lamote saw the light of day in 1941. What once began as a one-man business has now grown into several firms: Groka CV, Ingelbrecht NV, Lamote BV and Lamote NV. Edward Lamote: “We have been building our name, quality and service for four generations. Today, we work with a permanent unit which, together with our clients, ensures that gas, water and electricity are available. We mainly operate in West and East Flanders, working mainly with Elia, Fluvius, Farys, De Watergroep, AGSO...”
Lamote specialises in installing underground pipes and cables, carrying out minor earthworks, and providing connections for sewer, water, gas and electricity. Within that story, Lamote is on standby 24/7 to repair underground water leaks and carry out sewer repairs. Edward Lamote: “In addition to a skilled and flexible team, we also have the necessary equipment to carry out any project from start to finish. And Yanmar plays a prominent role in this. We currently have ten tyre cranes ranging from 9.5 to 12 tonnes, around 20 mini-excavators and one wheel loader. Our latest purchase was a new B110W déporté, equipped with Engcon tiltrotator.”

The relationship between Lamote, Yanmar and CEBEKO goes way back. Edward Lamote: “CEBEKO contacted my father at the time to buy our first mini-excavators. The good service kept the trust and we are still loyal CEBEKO customers. Nowadays, excavators are generally of good quality, but in terms of service, a distributor can certainly still make a difference. For us as contractors, it is important to keep post-purchase costs to a minimum. Both in terms of excellent equipment and service, I can speak of a very valuable cooperation in this case.”
A great project where Lamote is currently putting its Yanmar fleet to optimum use is the utility works at Schooldreef in Oostkamp. Preparatory works started in November 2022. During the works, utility lines for electricity, gas, drinking water and public lighting were renewed.
Edward Lamote: “The working conditions were not obvious: first weeks with a lot of rain, then a period of severe frost. But we worked with man, power and machinery to complete the first phase of the works before the start of the Christmas holidays.” During the Christmas holidays, two-way traffic was again possible in Schooldreef. The footpaths were temporarily repaired with asphalt, allowing easy access to the homes and shops. The parking spaces are also cleared to the maximum extent, so that they can again be used by visitors. The final phase of utility works started on 9 January.
As a premium brand, Yanmar can rely on a stable dealer network. CEBEKO has also been part of it since 1994. A great partnership, with the family business having been voted a Yanmar Premium Dealer for several years. “This makes us part of a select group of European Yanmar dealers who stand out for excellence in after-sales service,” CEBEKO proudly says. “Our technicians and (after)sales managers frequently take part in training courses organised by Yanmar to improve their know-how. You can come to us for purchasing the full range of Yanmar machines, tailor-made advice and practical assistance.” CEBEKO is also the right place for the complete range of original Yanmar spare parts.

With its exceptional experience since 1912, Yanmar profiles itself as the market leader in high-quality compact equipment. Today, its extensive range of mini and midi crawler excavators, mobile excavators, crawler dumpers and wheel loaders comprises more than 40 models. With the tagline ‘Building with you’, the company wants to further strengthen the bond with its dealers and create even more value for the customer. The brand wants to build a better future for everyone.
