LOADER

Celebrating its 30th year of operation, a Victorian plant hire company has purchased a brandnew Huski skid-steer loader from Toyota Material Handling Australia – in honour of its original unit

Encore showing

Graham Koschman’s G.K. Auto and Hire, a small plant supplier in Horsham, Victoria, has become the proud owner of the latest evolution of a Huski 5SDK5 skid steer loader from Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA).

He made the call to upgrade his second hand 2SKD, after it had been anchoring his business since it started in 1995.

“I bought my first, a second-hand blue 2SKD, when I was running a mechanical repair business and was looking for additional income,” he says.

MOWER

“It already had 8,000 hours on it, and I added at least 2,000 more” Confidence in the quality of the machine convinced Koschman to dry hire it, which led to the formation of his rental business with an inventory of more than 30 machines and implements.

“The Huski is bulletproof, even in the hands of multiple hirers,” he says.

“It’s not something you can say for a lot of machines.”

Koschman noted that the Huski’s reliability has been a standout

feature, handling the punishing use that it gets when being hired out.

It was that reliability that he looked for in his latest purchase, a machine that would go the distance with an operator who often works around the clock to get a job finished – a trait which has earned him a strong reputation in the Horsham area.

The Huski 5SDK5 was a perfect fit, he says, having specifically ordered the machine to meet demand for short-term hireable machines for work in tight access situations, like domestic back gardens.

established dealership and believes our AMRs are a great solution for the Australian market.”

Colbrook’s relationship with RC Mowers started when it began selling the USA-based company’s RemoteOperated Robotic Mowers – prior to the development of the AMR.

With the potential of AMRs to help landscapers address labour shortages and profit challenges, RC Mowers says Colbrook was eager to add the autonomous product to its offering.

“We feel it is our responsibility to offer world-class and industry-leading products where we can, and the RC Mowers AMR does exactly this,” Colbrook managing director Rob Plageman says.

, Melbourne-based Colbrook Industries has announced it will be an authorised dealer of RC Mowers’ Autonomous Mowing Robot (AMR).

The partnership will see RC Mowers expand its AMR dealer network outside of the USA for the first time.

“Like the USA, Australian landscape companies are experiencing a severe ongoing labour shortage – and our AMRs solve that problem,” RC mowers sales and marketing vice president Tim Kubista says.

“Colbrook Industries is a well-

In addition to providing a solution for the landscaping industry’s worldwide labour shortage, Plageman says the robotic machines provide vital data that professionals can use to make business decisions.

WHEEL LOADERS

Design updates

Caterpillar has announced a host of technology and performance updates on its next generation wheel loaders

Caterpillar (Cat) has updated the design of its next generation medium wheel loaders, changes it says will improve operating efficiency and performance.

A new auto front differential lock has been added to all 950 to 972 models with joystick steering, and all 966 to 972 models with HMU (steering wheel) steering.

The auto front differential lock engages the differential lock to recover or maintain traction.

Upgrades to both auto front and rear differential locks are additional options for the wheel loaders.

These medium wheel loaders also feature improvements to the integrated brake system (IBS) and new engine RPM deceleration. The new transmission features smooth engagement and disengagement with the IBS pedal.

A new standard job-aid widget helps the operator in load-and-carry work by automatically placing the bucket at the optimal height for stability and maximum material retention.

Now linked to the work tool centre, improvements to the zero-angle work tool widget enable the setting of different zero angles for different work tools and attachments.

Three programmable buttons on the implement control pod have been added, offering quicker access to regularly used functions. Each

operator can pull from over 25 different functions to customise and save their personal settings.

To improve efficiency further, key operating features – including Cat Payload, manual tip-off, neutraliser settings and tips, and application profiles – are now available in the onboard display system.

A new option for Cat Advanced Payload, e-Tickwweting, can send the generated on-board weighing ticket as an electronic ticket to any preprogrammed email address within seconds of finishing the loading cycle – reducing paper ticket handling in the cab.

For the Cat 966 XE, 972 XE, 980 XE and 982 XE models, two new settings in application profiles allow each operator to set customised forward and reverse default speed ranges and rimpull limits.

These speed and rimpull set limits are now visible to the operator on the front dash, while set site limits are shown on the operator settings screen – informing the operator of the established upper limit.

In addition, a new optional tyre pressure measuring system displays the information on the main machine display..

HAUL TRUCKS

Komatsu’s autonomous haul trucks have chalked up a significant number of hours on the road

Running solo

Ten Komatsu autonomous haul trucks have achieved a benchmark of 100,000 autonomous operating hours each – an industry first, the company says Komatsu’s worldwide autonomous fleet consists of 750 haul trucks, with the company saying its customers have hauled more than 10 billion metric tonnes of material without a driver in the cabin.

The company launched the FrontRunner Autonomous Haulage System (AHS) in 2008 - Komatsu says it was the world’s first commercial application of an AHS.

“Since paving the way with the first commercial autonomous haulage operation in the marketplace 17 years ago, Komatsu is proud to continue being an industry leader in autonomy,” Komatsu Autonomous Systems business development manager Martin Cavassa says.

“Our highly skilled AHS team comprises of application and technical experts, as well as training and support specialists who possess in-depth knowledge and expertise.

“In every engagement, we bring that expertise to the table to help our customers achieve all the value that FrontRunner can deliver to their operations.”

Customers who have adopted Komatsu’s AHS have improved their safety practices, productivity and reduced costs. In addition to this, they have seen improvements in tyre and brake life and reductions in overall maintenance, the company says. =

New arrival

New stock of Brisbane Mini Excavator Sales’ Sunward compact track loader has arrived, a machine that’s ideal for customers seeking greater lifts and more stability on uneven terrain

Brisbane Mini Excavator Sales (BMES) is known for being Australia’s exclusive distributor of Hercules machinery, consisting of loaders, graders and telehandlers, to name a few products.

For the last four years the Yatalabased business has also been Queensland’s exclusive supplier of Sunward equipment, taking on the brand for its expansive range and quality build.

A leading machinery OEM in China and selling more than 5,000 units a year throughout Europe, Sunward equipment’s baby blue colour profile is sure to stand out on any job site.

Following lots of research, BMES sales executive Steven Ragenovich said the company was impressed with Sunward’s Chinese operation, and the distributor is proud to have the brand as part of the BMES product portfolio.

Sunward’s 4528 compact track loader provides better stability in uneven terrains than wheeled machines

“Sunward is a major company in China and they have a huge state-ofthe-art factory over there,” he says.

“They employ thousands of people and have a diverse range of products, including excavators, track loaders, skid steers, cranes and drilling rigs.”

Track loader

For the last four years, BMES has been offering its customers Sunward’s mini excavators and skid steer loaders, but now its excited to introduce new stock of Sunward’s 4528 compact track loader (CTL).

Weighing 4.4 tonnes (4,400kg), the 4528 model produces 74 horsepower (55.2kW) of power through a twospeed genuine Kubota engine, and has a rated load capacity of 1,200kg.

Compared to traditional skid steers, Ragenovich says the Sunward CTL provides larger load capacities and better stability on uneven terrain, due to the tracks that it moves on.

It is particularly effective in wet and sandy environments, with Ragenovich saying the unit achieves

Vertical lift allows the machine to have greater lifting capacity than skid steers

“CTLs like the 4528 have more rubber on the ground so they are more stable than wheeled machines,” Ragenovich says.

“It also has greater balance and lifting capacity than skid steers.”

He adds that a quality 4 in 1 bucket comes standard with a quick coupler, allowing operators to switch between various attachments depending on what is needed to get a job done in a hurry.

Safety is always a priority, and the 4528 ensures this with a roll over protection system (ROPS) and falling

Its hydraulic vertical lift path allows the CTL to lift materials higher than machines using a radial lift path, meaning the 4528 is ideal for tasks that require higher reach – such as loading trucks and materials.

Other features include an adjustable high back suspension seat, LED lights and joystick control, as well as the high-flow system as standard.

Customers can feel more than confident, as the Sunward 4528 is sold with a 3,000 hour or threeyear comprehensive warranty

It is particularly effective in muddy and sandy environments

– whichever comes first.

To back up this sense of comfort, Ragenovich says BMES is a ‘one stop shop’ for servicing, repairs and spare parts, stocking everything needed to maintain customers’ machinery.

“BMES has become a known brand name due to over 35 years of industry experience, selling new and used machinery, as well as a full range of attachments and accessories,” he says.

With the increased popularity of the CTL models, customers should get in quick to avoid missing out on one of the new 4528 CTLs.

“Our customers can also look forward to a new Sunward machine towards the end of the year,” Ragenovich says.

“For customers wanting increased horsepower and lift, keep an eye out for the new 5.3-tonne, 100 horsepower (73.5kW) Sunward CTL model.”

BMES also has a rental fleet dubbed ‘Earthmoving Rentals’, which has several machines in its fleet for hire, so customers can hire before they buy.

“The new fuel-efficient line offers reduced greenhouse gases (GHG) and the lowest Scope 1 emissions,” 888CSE says.

These Lippmann crushers have successfully processed millions of tonnes of rock and ore in the harshest climates in remote areas of Australia.

“The Lippmann Jaw Crusher reputation is legendary,” 888CSE says.

Now stocked at 888CSE, Lippmann’s heavy duty track mounted mobile crushers and screens are suited for the aggregate, mining and recycling industries.

Among the new items is the impressive L1300j-e, a 125-tonne electric-powered track mounted jaw plant that 888CSE says is one of the largest mobile crushers in the market.

“It offers professional operators the highest production and performance efficiency in mining and large quarry operations,” 888CSE says.

Capable of processing over 1,000 tonnes per hour in certain mining applications, the electric-powered jaw crusher features a Cat genset to provide self-contained on-board power.

The L1300j-e can also be plugged into a mains power supply for the lowest cost of operation. Alternatively, the plant can run off a single larger genset, which can be used to power a complete Lippmann Crushing Circuit, for the most fuel efficient and cost saving operation.

Additional ‘dual power’ dieselelectric Lippmann ‘Legendary’ machines include the 300c and 400c cone crushers with 300hp (225kW) and 400hp (300kW) hydraulic adjust cones, as well as the Lippmann

Cobra pull

Able to tow various types of equipment and to be fitted with attachments, the Shantui dozers from Cobra Equipment Sales impress on a number of fronts, including its fuel-efficient engine

Shantui’s DH-series dozers have been a highly popular machine at Cobra Equipment Sales, due in no small part to their versatility.

In addition to pushing materials, the Shantui dozers have the capacity to tow equipment and can also be fitted with many attachments to suit the operator.

As an authorised dealer and distributor of Shantui equipment, Cobra has recently seen some of its earthmoving customers attach agricultural machinery to the back of their dozers for land preparation purposes.

One customer taking advantage of the towing capacity is Owen Lane, who is the owner of small earthmoving business – Hiregrade –which he has been running for over 30 years.

He has attached an anchor chain to a heavy-duty drawbar on the back of his Shantui DH17-C3 crawler dozer –enabling him to clear brigalow scrub.

In order to knock over regrowth timber, the anchor chain has been hooked between his 20-tonne and

204 horsepower (152kW) Shantui dozer and another-branded dozer.

“This is the first major job I’ve done with the Shantui dozer, but I’m already impressed,” Lane says.

“It’s highly manoeuvrable and easy to operate.”

Fuel efficiency

Thanks to a highly fuel-efficient Weichai engine, Lane has also been pleased with the amount of money he’s saved in fuel costs.

In comparison to equivalent dozers of leading brands, he says the Shantui machine uses 30 to 40 litres less diesel fuel over a 12-hour shift.

Considering the high price of diesel fuel in the current market, the Shantui engine is making all the difference for him.

“Over a period of time, the fuel savings all add up,” Lane says.

Cobra founder George Nason attributes the fuel-efficient engine to the many years of research and development undertaken by Shantui.

“Shantui has acquired a wealth of knowledge from other machines

Cobra Equipment’s customers have been reaping the benefits of the Shantui dozers’ fuel-efficient engine

over the years, and they’ve come up with their own engine,” he says.

“They’ve been building it for many years, and now you can see the benefits through fuel-efficiency and power.”

Another Cobra Equipment customer, Lachlan Smith, owner of H.L. Smith Earthworks, says his Shantui DH17-B2 dozer is also providing significant fuel savings.

“Shantui’s engine is much more fuel efficient compared to other dozers,” he says.

“It consumes half the amount.”

Based in Casino, New South Wales, Smith has also been towing agricultural machinery on the back of his Shantui dozer.

A four-metre-wide disc plough has been attached to lend a hand in a land development project – involving rehabilitating scrub and improving pasture.

Impressed with the dozer’s power and towing capacity, Smith says the dozer is a perfect alternative to wheeled machinery when having to work in rough terrain.

“The regrowth I’m driving through would damage or destroy any machine that has tyres, but my Shantui dozer’s tracks aren’t affected when it runs over the top of the regrowth,” he says.

Performance, price and reliability were big selling points for Smith, a key factor in deciding to go with the Shantui brand over other dozer manufacturers.

Selling points

Reinforcing these reasons for going with Shantui, Lane also says the affordability of the dozers were a big standout.

“I think the quality is just as good as some of the other leading brands, but the Shantui machines are less than half the price,” Hiregrade’s owner says.

“I believe the Shantui brand is going to continue to become more popular in Australia, and the dozers will retain their resale value.”

Farmer Peter Campell is also fond of the Shantui brand, and is using his DH24-C3 crawler dozer on his own rural property in Goondiwindi – on the border of New South Wales and Queensland.

His dozer has been fitted with a variety of attachments, including a tree spear, stick rake, blade plough and heavy-duty forestry protection guards, to clear country for his cattle and prepare the ground for crop planting.

Another standout of the Shantui dozers for Cobra’s customers has been the large cabin space, providing plenty of room to make sure that comfort is maximised throughout the day.

What Cobra’s founder, Nason, finds most special about these dozers is the independent hydrostatic drive of each track – providing easy manoeuvrability of the machine.

“When you steer, it just speeds one side up and slows the other side down, but you never lose traction on both sides,” Nason says.

“Being hydrostatic drive, our customers are finding that the dozers are much easier to operate.”

In addition to Lane’s Shantui dozer, he also owns a Shantui grader which he finds highly affordable, and hopes to add a Shantui excavator from Cobra Equipment to his fleet soon.

Already a big fan of the machine,

customers like Lane can trust the Shantui, Nason says, as the company is the world’s largest manufacturer of bulldozers.

“Shantui is the number one seller of bulldozers in many countries, due to its affordability, reliability and ease of operation,” he says.

“At Cobra Equipment, we’ve been selling a lot of DH17s up to the DH24s which are suitable to smaller contractors, and interest in larger models is also growing due to the Shantui brand’s proven track record.”

Continued expansion

A new Canning Vale facility will allow DCT to better service Perth and the surrounding areasn, the parts supplier says

Don Clark Tractors (DCT) has been in business for just over six decades – and the family-owned and operated company is still expanding to this day.

In July, DCT established a parts centre in Canning Vale in Perth, WA, allowing the company to better service Perth and the surrounding areas.

The new 1,000 square metre warehouse, located at 2 Mordaunt Circuit, will focus mainly on civil construction while DCT’s Kalgoorlie operation will remain mining-related.

Prior to opening the new warehouse, DCT already boasted warehousing facilities of over 4,000 square metres between strategically placed warehouses in Castlereagh, Dubbo and Orange in NSW as well as Kalgoorlie in WA.

DCT was established in 1963 by

Don Clark, to provide service and maintenance support to the local earthmoving industry.

In 1984, the company expanded – not for the last time – with the beginning of the parts division which today consists of a multi-million dollar computer-controlled inventory that numbers over 100,000 line items.

Today, DCT offers parts and services to everyone from sole owner/operators to some of the world’s largest mining, construction and agriculture companies.

Spanning three generations and still family owned and operated – four of Don’s grandchildren are now actively involved in managing the company – DCT sources, manufactures and supplies OEM quality aftermarket and replacement parts with a quality and life equal to the original part.

DCT’s new 1,000 sq metre warehouse in Canning Vale

The DCT service division operates out of purpose-built workshops in Castlereagh and Orange NSW, while its Dubbo, Kalgoorlie and now Canning Vale operations are parts-only.

Both service workshops have welding, boring, milling and machining capabilities, as well as the correct tooling and personnel to complete everything from a simple hydraulic cylinder repair to a complete machine rebuild – with all the technicians experienced in working on Caterpillar machines.

DCT’s company director Brett Clark – son of founder, Don – speaks to Earthmovers & Excavators about the company’s new parts facility in Canning Vale, working closely with family members and how the business has expanded from day one.

“We took ownership of the Canning Vale site in July and we’re still setting up but we’re open and ready for business,” Brett says.

“We’re in and we’ve begun work.

“We’re ready to go now really – we’re putting in stock and shelving and racking, and we’re just loading it all up at the moment, ready for business.

“The new parts centre means we will be able to service the Perth

Darren Klemm will manage the new DCT warehouse in Canning Vale

area better than we were out of Kalgoorlie,” he adds.

There is already a manager in place at DCT’s Canning Vale site, and Brett says the company plans to hire additional staff for the facility in the coming weeks and months.

He admits that, no matter what part of the country you’re in, finding quality staff can be a tricky endeavour – but adds that DCT is confident of building a strong team in Canning Vale.

“We’re hoping and expecting the new site to get busier and busier as time progresses,” Brett adds.

Family ties

Being a family-owned and operated business makes DCT stand out from the crowd – the company spans three generations of the Clark family and shows no signs of deviating in the near future.

Working so closely with family members presents its own unique dynamic as well as some unique challenges, Brett explains.

“It’s certainly a different dynamic –challenging would be a good word,” he laughs.

“We work our way through and it works.

“You say things to family that you don’t say to employees, and they say things to their boss that they wouldn’t say to any other boss.

“I suppose it does make us stand out from the crowd – customers understand and appreciate that we all have skin in the game and that we’re here as not just regular employees.”

After 61 years in business, a company might be forgiven for resting on its laurels – that prospect never crossed the minds of those behind DCT.

“It’s great to see continued expansion even after so many years,” Brett says.

“We’ve expanded from day one really – it’s just something we’ve always done.

“It depends really on what market you’re in but there is plenty of

Stocked shelves inside DCT’s new warehouse.

expansion available to us. There’s always demand for parts and there’s always demand for service work,” he adds.

“The biggest hurdle you’ve got with the service work is keeping service technicians.

“We still do some service work on the east coast, but we’ve figured the smarter thing for us to do here in Canning Vale is focus on parts for the existing local repairers.

“This parts centre is another step in the right direction and it’s exciting times.”

Americas this year and next, with the top three winners from each regional qualifier going on to participate in the semi-finals in Malaga, Spain.

Ultimately, the top 10 finalists will compete in a finals to be held at CONEXPO/CON-AGG in Las Vegas in March 2026.

“This hands-on, skills-based competition will test the technicians’ agility, resilience and versatility,” says Caterpillar Global Service Vice President Henry Venneman.

“These trained experts are on the front line of support, working to keep machines and engines up and running to help ensure our customers’ critical projects are completed.”

By the end of 2026, it is estimated that Cat dealers may need to hire more than 44,000 technicians.

This competition is also designed to help raise awareness of the opportunities in this career field, Cat says.

“There are thousands of opportunities available globally for those who are interested in a handson career,” adds Venneman.

“Cat dealers are often looking for individuals who are problem solvers, mechanically inclined and tech savvy.”

Strategic partnership

Tilly’s Crawler Parts has provided Peely’s Earthmoving with top-tier parts that deliver exceptional value

For over 35 years, Peely’s Earthmoving in Spring Ridge NSW, has been a name synonymous with quality, dedication and reliability in the earthmoving industry.

Founded by Warwick Peel, Peely’s Earthmoving has become a cornerstone of the community, delivering top-notch service that has stood the test of time.

Today, the business is in the capable hands of Warwick’s son Grant, who took over eight years ago, ensuring the continuation of a proud family legacy.

Grant’s leadership has maintained the high standards set by his father while introducing new efficiencies and innovations.

He says a key factor behind Peely’s success is its strategic partnership

with Tilly’s Crawler Parts, a company known for its high-quality machinery parts and excellent customer service.

In the earthmoving industry, the brand of parts used can be crucial. Traditionally, an OEM badge has been a symbol of trust and reliability, something that customers often insist on.

However, Grant’s experience has shown that while some businesses avoid non-genuine parts, there are alternatives that offer the same, if not better, performance at nearly half the price.

For example, the cutting edges used in Peely’s machinery have over 3,000 hours of service life, matching the performance of genuine parts at a fraction of the cost. “I have throughly tested compared and tested

products, and the results speak for themselves,” Peel says.

Top tier

Tilly’s Crawler Parts has provided Peely’s Earthmoving with top-tier alternatives that deliver exceptional value. Its Bedrock rippers, for instance, have clocked over 10,000 hours and are still going strong.

Grant also favours the Bedrock stick rake, which outperforms more expensive competitors while being half the price.

“It’s not just about cost savings; it’s about selecting the right parts for the job,” he says. Peely’s sources a wide

range of components from Tilly’s, including wear parts, track blades, ripper boots, rollers, idlers and buckets for excavators.

Each of these parts is chosen for its reliability and performance, ensuring Peely’s Earthmoving continues to operate at peak efficiency.

Grant says he is mindful of warranties, knowing that there are potential trade-offs when using nongenuine parts, especially for critical components on some units

“Balancing cost-efficiency with warranty considerations is key, and with Tilly’s, I know we’re in good hands,” he adds.

Expertise

The Tilly’s sales team plays a crucial role in this successful partnership. Its expertise and dedication ensure that Peely’s always has the best parts and support.

Grant often refers others to the team at Tilly’s, confident in the excellent service they will receive.

Peely’s Earthmoving continues to thrive, not just because of its history, but because of smart decisions, trusted partnerships, and a commitment to quality.

Under Grant’s leadership, and with the support of Tilly’s Crawler Parts, this second-generation business is set to continue serving Yannergee, Spring Ridge, and beyond for many years to come.

Demand

Distributed by Tilly’s, Bedrock has a reputation as one of the world’s

largest construction machinery attachment manufacturers, providing cost-effective alternatives driven by quality and built to last.

With a rapidly increasing level of demand for Tilly’s range of genuine, low-hour OE machines has come matching demand for quality, compatible attachments.

Attachments currently in stock at Tilly’s Toowoomba HQ include rippers, stick-rakes, scrub canopies, sweeps and cutter bars for dozers; front blades, mouldboards, push blocks and belly guards for graders; quick hitches that can carry buckets, forks, stick-rakes, lifting jibs and rippers for wheel loaders; and buckets, thumbs, grabs, tynes, cab guards and long-reach booms kits round out the range for excavators.

Customers purchasing machines from Tilly’s inventory can make

Brisbane benefit

UKW prides itself on providing fast, cost-effective parts solutions to clients across Australia and further afield

The machinery industry is feeling the pinch of global market turmoil, brought on in part by uncertainty in the United States and ongoing conflicts worldwide.

With rising costs and increased difficulty in obtaining the right piece of machinery or the right part, customers are turning to companies like UKW Spares, which has overseas connections, knowledge of machinery and fast delivery times ensure that it stands out in a crowded marketplace.

Established in 1996, UKW Spares first specialised in dismantling old Komatsu machinery to on-sell the stripped parts to customers.

Eventually, the business branched out into different avenues and soon began importing its own catalogue of new parts to sell.

Today, UKW sells new and reconditioned parts, largely for Komatsu and Hitachi products, and boasts locations in Brisbane, Townsville and Campbellfield, Victoria .

Speaking to Earthmovers & Excavators, UKW’s sales development supervisor Edmond Woodford explains that his customers are finding it difficult to source good value, high quality machinery parts quickly – so they are turning to UKW for help, and the company is more than happy to be of service.

Support

Woodford is based at UKW’s Brisbane branch, which opened for business in July 2022, and has experienced considerable growth and demand since. The branch stocks undercarriage,

pins, bushes, o-rings, engine parts and a large range of filters all for the Komatsu and Hitachi ranges.

With two experienced salespeople on the ground – Ryan Webdale makes up the team with Woodford – and a large number and range of parts, UKW’s Brisbane branch is ready, able and willing to support clients right away.

“We’ve got two salespeople here and we hold a fair amount of stock so we are quite capable of helping people out straight away,” says Woodford.

“And anything we don’t have, if it’s accessible from overseas, we can usually have it here, depending on

weight, within five to six working days.

“That’s a big benefit for clients, especially when they might have to wait three times that length to get it directly from OEMs (original equipment manufacturers).”

High demand

UKW is experiencing a high level of demand for parts as machinery operators seek quality parts at an affordable price, amid increasing costs globally.

“We certainly are seeing more demand due to the cost of things worldwide – globally, prices are going through the roof – and it’s great to give people a cheaper alternative,” says Woodford.

He adds that, with many people turning to parts instead of new, expensive machinery, UKW is in a great place to provide for customers,

thanks to the company’s strategic locations, expertise and ability to source quality parts in a timely and cost-effective manner.

“There are a lot of machines in northern New South Wales and south / south east Queensland and we can look after them, helping clients to maintain their machines without going out and buying new machinery – so being cost effective at the same time.

“We also help out in the Northern Territory and Western Australia as well.

“Between the three branches –Townsville, Brisbane and Victoria – we provide our services across Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and even New Caledonia.

“We’ve also got customers here in Brisbane that deal specifically with overseas clients as well.”

UKW says it is experiencing a high level of demand for parts as machinery operators seek quality at an affordable price.

New branch

UKW’s Brisbane branch has seen a lot of demand and growth in the two years it has been open, and Wood ford says the company is keen for that to continue.

“It’s basically a brand new branch – everything is nice, new and tidy and we’re willing to help customers wherever we can in any way that we can,” he says.

“We’re really keen to keep going and keep growing, and to give people a better service than they’re currently getting.

“That’s always the aim.”

Its Australian dealer, CJD Equipment, says the company is transforming how construction sites function through its focus on efficiency, safety and sustainability. By combining machine technologies with real-time data analysis, CJD says Volvo CE provides construction experts with the tools to improve operations and elevate productivity.

The partnership with CJD has also allowed Volvo CE to extend its solutions to the Australian earthmoving, quarry and mining markets, which have all seen Volvo’s machines making a difference.

Here, CJD outlines how Volvo CE is transforming the earthmoving and construction industry with its services and technologies.

Technology integration

CJD says the integration of its innovative technologies is a key way Volvo CE is leading the earthmoving and construction industry.

The Load Assist and Dig Assist technologies are important examples of this.

Dig Assist provides various tools for precise excavation, eliminating the need for manual site marking and depth checking.

It includes features like 2D profiling for levelling the site and in-field design for tasks such as trenching and foundation preparation.

On the other hand, Load Assist includes Volvo’s On-Board Weighing app, that helps operators move the right material – improving efficiency and reducing waste.

Volvo Co-Pilot further enhances the capability of these technologies, providing real-time insights into work performance.

The system can be updated wirelessly, so it is always able to be improved with the addition of new functionalities over time.

Advancing safety

Committed to providing a safer construction environment, Volvo CE’s technologies are designed to enhance site-wide awareness, implement safety measures and facilitate real-time communication.

One of its essential tools is the Connected Map Office Portal, which CJD says not only improves safety, but also increases productivity.

This positioning service gives site managers a real-time visual overview of all machines, operators and temporary visitors on site.

Real-time adjustments to site conditions can be made, such as implementing one-way traffic or restricted zones, that can be instantly communicated to all users.

Having this level of visibility and control significantly improves awareness, reduces accidents and increases productivity, CJD adds.

The system works by extracting positioning data from machine telematics or Android and iOS devices with SIM cards and uploads it to a cloud-based Volvo platform.

As a result, a total site positioning solution is created for both Volvo and non-Volvo machines and temporary site visitors.

CJD says this can enhance site operations in several ways, including providing the ability to track machines in real time and tell operators where to load and unload on a site.

It can also help avoid traffic congestion, as the operator will be notified if another machine is approaching within a predefined single lane section. Operators can also be assisted in navigating the site and avoiding restricted areas.

As part of this solution, site managers can use the Safety Zones feature to set speed restrictions to actively control vehicle speeds in high-risk areas.

Borders and maximum speed limits can be set for specific areas,

such as hazardous stretches of road – reducing the risk of accidents, injuries and damage.

The Office Portal function of Connected Map will enable Australian site managers to streamline operations and oversee multiple locations simultaneously, CJD says.

With the ability to provide instant communication of site changes to all users, safety is enhanced further, and the likelihood of accidents is reduced. This is because every team member is made aware of current site conditions and any new safety measures in place.

CJD adds that Volvo CE is looking at improving safety even more, by exploring the use of real-time data from customer vehicles.

This approach would include equipping vehicles with advanced sensors to allow for continuous and faster improvements to customer vehicles – constantly elevating safety levels.

By integrating its safety technologies currently, and with the vision for further advancements, Volvo CE has demonstrated its commitment to protecting workers, while enhancing site operations.

Enhanced efficiency

For those wanting to reduce their carbon footprint and increase

efficiency, Volvo CE offers its Site Optimisation service, which involves a three-step approach.

Starting with a pre-study, which validates the investment for the main study, experts visit a site, carry out interviews and conduct an initial analysis of available data.

The main study then goes more in-depth, using simulations and root cause analysis to develop an improvement plan.

This comprehensive approach provides insights that help construction firms become more profitable while reducing their carbon footprint.

Also setting targets to reduce its own greenhouse gas emissions, Volvo CE is aiming for net-zero value chain emissions by 2040, with further targets striving for a 50 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide

Dig Assist eliminates the need for manual site marking and depth checking

emissions across its operations and a 30 per cent reduction in product use emissions by 2030.

It has also introduced its CO 2 Reduction Program to support Australian customers’ carbon reduction efforts. The program follows a four-step approach – insight, analyse, improve and sustain – to help customers work towards their own goals.

Insight is the first step, which involves establishing a baseline using telematics data from connected machines to visualise CO 2 emissions over time.

Once this is completed, customers can analyse and assess machine data, material flow, fleet composition and operator behaviour to identify areas for improvement.

Actions can then be implemented to improve, such as Eco Operator training and efficiency services, with the aim of sustaining and maintaining lower CO 2 levels and setting stronger reduction targets.

It’s initiatives like this that showcase Volvo CE’s dedication to taking care of the environment and its role in shaping a more sustainable future for the construction industry.

A municipal works, civil and commercial construction event.

17-18 September 2025,

In September 2025, a new event will be landing at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Converge will bring together leading decision makers in the Municipal Works, Civil and Commercial Construction space, to share the tools, ideas and technologies that are shaping these sectors.

Going large

Ant International designs its products to suit the preferences of its customers, with the capacity to produce attachments for some of the largest machines

Family owned and run, Ant International knows what it takes to build a quality earthmoving attachment.

From its workshop in Rocklea, Brisbane, attachments are manufactured for Australian conditions and are built to last.

Ant’s philosophy is that nobody knows what they want in an attachment better than an operator – it’s why the business carefully listens to what style and design its customers are looking for and offers tailor-made solutions.

Ant’s attachments are designed not only to suit individual working conditions, but to also suit the preferences of the customer.

In listening to its customers, Ant International builds every large bucket to specific requirements. Buckets can then be customised with wear packages and hardfacing, to better protect them from the elements – helping to last over a long period of time.

Offering further customisation, Ant International also offers various bucket tooth styles to make sure the attachment is suited to the job environment of the customer.

Whether it’s heavy duty or a standard tooth style, Ant has the capacity to add it.

“Every one of our large attachments is made to order and built for the customer, so they can do what they need to,” Ant production

manager Lex Treloar says.

“We want our customers to enjoy years of service from their new attachment.”

Designed to dig

When it comes to designing large buckets, Ant takes into consideration what’s important to its customers.

It strives to ensure that its buckets perform well, allowing maximum productivity and attachment life.

“Our large buckets are designed with an aggressive digging angle for better penetration, used in combination with a double radius floor to reduce floor wear in the bucket heel region,” Treloar says.

With an emphasis on quality and durability, he says an Ant attachment is built to work hard for a long time –paying for itself time and time again.

Ant International’s attachments are built specifically for Australian conditions

According to general manager Charlotte Liao, Ant International has a manufacturing ability that stands out in the market.

“Usually, only bucket manufacturers and suppliers can offer attachments over 45 tonnes,” she says.

“Part of our strength is that we can build attachments for that size class and up to 100 tonnes.”

availability, but Ant International believes large size attachments need to take a different approach.

Sourcing a wide selection of premium high-grade steels, including the world class Swedish Hardox abrasion resistance wear plate, the business can tailor the type of steel to the working conditions of the attachment.

“We don’t have a generic off-theshelf approach when it comes to large attachments, and carefully consider how an attachment will be used when selecting the steel grade for our customers,” Liao says.

By creating products that are made of first-class steel, Treloar says it delivers the highest level of wear resistance and impact strength –saving time and money over the lifespan of the attachment.

He adds that choosing quality steel reduces overall bucket weight by 20 to 25 per cent, with its useful life being extended by 50 per cent.

By reducing the bucket weight, the capacity of a machine can be increased – with less wear occurring. Depending on the maximum load of a machine, the reduced bucket

weight will also allow more materials and heavier loads to be lifted.

“Many of our rock and quarry buckets are constructed using 400/450 grade abrasion resistant steel in the bucket shell,” Treloar says.

“This ensures our customers reap

the benefits of long-lasting wear and lower maintenance costs.”

The type of steel used can be tailored to the working conditions of the attachment

Major milestone

The successful consortium has confirmed it can deliver the T2D project on budget.

Once finished, the T2D project will allow motorists to avoid 21 existing sets of traffic lights between the River Torrens and Darlington

The largest and most complex infrastructure project in South Australian history has reached a major milestone, with a preferred alliance partner now selected for the T2D project.

Following a procurement process which commenced in January 2023, a consortium comprising John Holland, Bouygues Construction, Arcadis Australia, Jacobs and Ventia was selected as the preferred alliance partner.

Arguably South Australia’s biggestever infrastructure project, the T2D project is the final section of the non-stop 78-kilometre North-South Corridor between Gawler and Old Noarlunga.

Once finished, the 10.5km section of road will allow motorists to avoid 21 existing sets of traffic lights between the River Torrens and Darlington by means of tunnels –which will make up about 60 per cent of the project.

The successful consortium says it can deliver the T2D project on budget, delivering significant travel, economic and community benefits for South Australians.

The consortium’s tender detailed a plan to procure three tunnel boring machines (TBM), instead of the two previously anticipated – which will mean both north and south tunnels can be constructed concurrently.

The three TBMs that will be used to excavate the T2D tunnels will be purpose-built for the local conditions they will encounter on this project.

The SA government says the additional TBM gives a reasonable expectation that this state-shaping

project can not only be completed by the stated 2031 deadline – but even earlier.

The successful consortium’s design delivers the key features of the December 2022 reference design release, while providing further traffic and community benefits, the government adds.

Enhancements from the 2022 Reference Design proposed by the successful consortium include:

• A connection free of traffic lights between the motorway and James Congdon Drive, providing seamless access to and from the CBD

• I nnovative tunnel portal arrangements that enable improved and lowered motorway sections with faster construction times and reduced costs

• More trees planted to help green the corridor

• I mproved tunnel design and shorter cut and cover tunnel sections, which will reduce energy use and costs, and minimise surface impacts to communities next to the T2D motorway

• I nnovation for the construction of tunnel cross passages and other systems elements of the tunnels

• I mproved experience for active

travel users with universally accessible paths, shared-use paths and active travel corridors, with regular safe east-west connections

The T2D project will support approximately 5,500 jobs per year during main construction, with 90 per cent of labour hours to be undertaken by South Australians, the government says.

It will also deliver opportunities for South Australian businesses, with more than 300 local businesses already registering their interest in being involved as a subcontractor on the T2D project through the Industry Capability Network.

The consortium has committed to a minimum of 6 per cent Indigenous employment on the project, as well as more than 600 jobs for apprentices and trainees, and opportunities for more than 220 long-term unemployed people.

Main construction works are proposed to start in 2025, with tunnel boring machine works for the southern tunnels planned to begin in the second half of 2026.

Opinion

Changes needed

The Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) is now in administration.

Fair Work Commissioner Murray Furlong had started the process to implement external administration under s.323 of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009, (FW RO Act), but the Federal Parliament recently passed amendments granting it power to appoint an administrator.

In addition, the new laws allow the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Senator Murray Watt, to determine a scheme for administration of the Construction and General Division and its branches of the CFMEU.

The scheme listed the personnel of the CFMEU who would be terminated and a range of requirements and powers of the administrator.

What this means is that the management of the union has been replaced by external administrators to run the union for the next three to five years. The operation of the union, which includes all its rights, will continue.

This includes representing their members’ interests and acting in accordance with any instrument of law.

This will include agreement bargaining, workplace health and safety issues etc. I expect the administrators will robustly represent their members’ rights.

The main change is it will be done under different management. All other parts of the union are not affected.

Protests

The current protests are being conducted by ex-CFMEU employees, some current members and other unions.

Whilst I understand the solidarity amongst the unions, the conduct of the CFMEU sets them apart from their counterparts.

Other unions rigorously represent their members without the alleged threats of intimidation, bullying, coercion and violence.

This is not new behaviour, and previous Royal Commissions have highlighted segments of illegal and questionable behaviour.

It is surprising that a Labor government has acted, but this highlights that this is considered a serious issue above party politics and one that must be dealt with. The action was supported by the federal opposition.

Similar action has been taken by states, which have state industrial registration systems that mirror the federal legislation and scheme for administration.

This will ensure the administrator can act equally across all registered entities.

Key reasons

Administration will be in place for three to five years. There are a few

key reasons why we are at this point.

It is no coincidence that the alleged conduct of the CFMEU has escalated since the abolition of the Australian Building and Construction Commission (ABCC) and Building Code, as well as changes to the Fair Work Act 2009 and the Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Act 2017.

In addition, state procurement policies – such as the Best Practice Industry Condition (BPIC) – have also provided a platform for demarcation opportunities for the union.

As the branches of the CFMEU are released from external administration over the next three to five years, there must be a legal framework that is put in place which prevents the rise of the environment we are experiencing today.

It is imperative that the industry is separately regulated with an independent regulator, similar to other industries such as banking, superannuation and finance.

The new body must be independent and regulate all stakeholders in the building and construction industry. It must be transparent, have investigative powers and legal backing to discourage poor behaviour.

The Fair Work Act must be amended to ensure that freedom of association is fully protected.

A higher level needs to be set for the test of fit and proper people to run registered organisations.

Union agreements must ensure that the appropriate eligible union represents the workforce.

Vision

Hopefully our legislators have the vision to draft laws which survive governments of all colours, to provide a well-paid industry that delivers infrastructure productively, safely, and is not a detriment to the mental health of participants and stakeholders.

We need an industry which is fun and attractive to everyone. If not, we will be back to the future in about ten years.

Women in leadership

NAWIC’s campaign highlights the importance of leadership opportunities for women to encourage recruitment and retention in the construction industry

As part of our ongoing advocacy priorities, NAWIC recently conducted research into the top 20 construction companies in Australia and it showed that, on average, less than 20 per cent of the leaders in these companies are women.

We know this is an issue that companies are aware of and working to improve on, through targeted programs and opportunities.

Our Women in Leadership campaign will examine the barriers to women moving into leadership and highlight both the women leaders currently working in construction and the programs that are working to provide women with the skills and opportunities they need to move into leadership roles.

Opportunities for women to move into leadership roles are a key part of encouraging women to enter the construction industry and to retain the women already working there.

We hear from our members that they do not always feel there is a place for them in leadership in the organisations they work in, and NAWIC wants to create a solutions

framework to distribute to our corporate members and small businesses that highlights how we can work together to improve outcomes.

In July, we asked the CEOs and managing directors of the top 20 construction companies what actions they are taking to move women into leadership roles and what programs and initiatives they have in place.

We are excited to have received many responses and look forward to platforming them in September via our social media channels.

Cement recycling

Cambridge University researchers have developed a concrete recycling method

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed a method to produce very low emission concrete at scale – an innovation that could be transformative for the transition to net zero.

The method, which the researchers say is “an absolute miracle”, uses the electricallypowered arc furnaces used for steel recycling to simultaneously recycle cement, the carbon-hungry component of concrete.

Concrete is the second-most-used material on the planet, after water, and is responsible for approximately 7.5 per cent of total anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. A scalable, cost-effective way of reducing concrete emissions while meeting global demand is one of the world’s biggest decarbonisation challenges.

The Cambridge researchers found that used cement is an effective substitute for lime flux, which is used in steel recycling to remove impurities and normally ends up as a

waste product known as slag. But by replacing lime with used cement, the end product is recycled cement that can be used to make new concrete.

The cement recycling method developed by the Cambridge researchers, reported in the journal Nature, does not add any significant costs to concrete or steel production and significantly reduces emissions from both concrete and steel, due to the reduced need for lime flux.

Recent tests carried out by the Materials Processing Institute, a partner in the project, showed that recycled cement can be produced at scale in an electric arc furnace (EAF), the first time this has been achieved. Eventually, this method could produce zero emission cement, if the EAF were powered by renewable energy sources.

“We held a series of workshops with members of the construction industry on how we could reduce emissions from the sector,” says Professor Julian Allwood from

Cambridge’s department of engineering, who led the research.

“Lots of great ideas came out of those discussions, but one thing they couldn’t or wouldn’t consider was a world without cement.”

Concrete is made from sand, gravel, water and cement, which serves as a binder. Although it’s a small proportion of concrete, cement is responsible for almost 90 per cent of concrete emissions. Cement is made through a process called clinkering, where limestone and other raw materials are crushed and heated to about 1,450°C in large kilns. This process converts the materials into cement, but releases large amounts of carbon dioxide in the process as limestone decarbonates into lime.

Over the past decade, scientists have been investigating substitutes for cement, and have found that roughly half of the cement in concrete can be replaced with alternative materials, such as fly ash, but these alternatives need to

be chemically activated by the remaining cement to harden.

“It’s also a question of volume –we don’t physically have enough of these alternatives to keep up with global cement demand, which is roughly four billion tonnes per year,” says Allwood. “We’ve already identified the low hanging fruit that helps us use less cement by careful mixing and blending, but to get all the way to zero emissions, we need to start thinking outside the box.”

Chemical reaction

“I had a vague idea from previous work that if it were possible to crush old concrete, taking out the sand and stones, heating the cement would remove the water, and then it would form clinker again,” says first author Dr Cyrille Dunant, also from Cambridge’s department of engineering.

“A bath of liquid metal would help this chemical reaction along, and an electric arc furnace, used

to recycle steel, felt like a strong possibility. We had to try.”

The clinkering process requires heat and the right combination of oxides, all of which are in used cement, but need to be reactivated.

The researchers tested a range of slags, made from demolition waste and added lime, alumina and silica.

The slags were processed in the Materials Processing Institute’s EAF with molten steel and rapidly cooled.

“We found the combination of cement clinker and iron oxide is an excellent steelmaking slag because it foams and it flows well,” says Dunant. “And if you get the balance right and cool the slag quickly enough, you end up with reactivated cement, without adding any cost to the steelmaking process.”

The cement made through this recycling process contains higher levels of iron oxide than conventional cement, but the researchers say this has little effect on performance.

The method, which the researchers say is “an absolute miracle”, uses the electricallypowered arc furnaces used for steel recycling to simultaneously recycle cement.

The Cambridge Electric Cement process has been scaling rapidly, and the researchers say they could be producing one billion tonnes per year by 2050, which represents roughly a quarter of current annual cement production.

“Producing zero emissions cement is an absolute miracle, but we’ve also got to reduce the amount of cement and concrete we use,” says Allwood.

“Concrete is cheap, strong and can be made almost anywhere, but we just use far too much of it. We could dramatically reduce the amount of concrete we use without any reduction in safety, but there needs to be political will to make that happen.”

The researchers have filed a patent on the process to support its commercialisation. The research was supported in part by Innovate UK and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

EXCAVATOR

Breaking new ground

CNH says that what truly sets the E70D apart is its powerful performance within a compact frame

New Holland Construction is breaking ground into a new market with the launch of its first midi excavator – the E70D midi excavator – in the United States.

Designed to bridge the gap between mini excavators and larger, more cumbersome machines, New Holland parent company CNH says the E70D is an ideal solution for a wide range of applications.

From urban construction sites and tight landscaping jobs to agricultural tasks and municipal projects, the E70D delivers exceptional power and versatility in a compact package.

“This machine isn’t just about doing the job — it’s about transforming how it’s done,” says Dan Kakareka, product manager for New Holland Construction North America.

“With its powerful digging force, hydraulic performance and lift capacity and automotive-style cab design, the E70D is set to redefine expectations and bring a new level of performance and efficiency for operators working in the agriculture and construction segments.”

Weighing in at 7,290kg, CNH says the E70D strikes the perfect balance between strength and agility.

It delivers a dig depth of up to 4.27m and a dump height of 2.03m, and is engineered for peak performance in a variety of conditions.

Sporting a distinctive monoboom design that ensures superior manoeuvrability, the machine allows operators to navigate tight spaces and challenging job sites with ease, CNH adds.

Equipped with a 85 litre fuel tank, the E70D is built for extended operation to minimise downtime and maximise productivity. It also offers a choice between rubber and steel tracks, enabling work in different environments.

Tunnelling milestone

The tunnels will be built using 100 per cent renewable electricity, and dirt and rock from the tunnels will be re-used across the North East Link and other transport sites where possible

Tunnelling has started on the Australian and Victorian governments’ North East Link Project in Melbourne’s northeast.

The first tunnel boring machine (TBM) is now digging the 6.5-kilometre tunnel between Watsonia and Bulleen – which will take 15,000 trucks off local roads and slash travel times by up to 35 minutes.

The TBM is the first of two massive machines that will dig up to 15 metres per day and up to 45 metres underground.

The 4,000 tonne machines will also install tunnel walls made of approximately 44,000 individual concrete segments made locally in Benalla.

“The start of tunnelling on the North East Link is a major milestone on a project that will get thousands of trucks off local roads,” says Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan.

More than 100 tunnel workers have undergone specialised training to work below ground, with the Victorian Tunnelling Centre at Holmesglen providing state-of-the-art training.

The tunnels will be built using 100 per cent renewable electricity.

Dirt and rock from the tunnels will be re-used across the North East Link and other transport sites where possible – with a significant amount of

dirt to be used in the rehabilitation of a former quarry at Point Wilson and the former Orica site in Deer Park.

The two TBMs have been named Zelda and Gillian, to honour two ground-breaking Victorian women.

The late West Heidelberg resident Zelda D’Aprano AO was a renowned women’s rights activist who worked tirelessly to close the gender pay gap and established the Women’s Action Committee.

Dr Gillian Opie is a neonatal paediatrician at the Mercy Hospital for Women in Heidelberg and founded Australia’s first breast milk bank – providing sick and premature babies in Melbourne’s neonatal intensive care units with safe, screened and pasteurised milk.

More than 6,700 people are currently working across the project – which will create 12,000 jobs before completion in 2028.

At the 2024-25 Budget, the Australian Government committed an additional $3.25 billion to the North East Link Project to make a total contribution of $5 billion, with the Victorian Government providing the remaining project funding.

Electric excavation

The first electric excavator in BHP’s fleet is now operational at a Western Australian iron ore mine

BHP’s first electric excavator – the Liebherr R 9400 E – is now operational at its Yandi iron ore mine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Instead of a diesel engine, the R 9400 E has an electric motor, with power fed to the machine by a trailing cable.

Equipped with Liebherr’s autonomous cable reeler for optimal on-site mobility, BHP says this innovation boosts productivity and operator safety.

BHP Western Australia Iron Ore (WAIO) asset president Tim Day says reducing diesel will be key to helping BHP achieve its medium-term target of reducing operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by at least 30 per cent by the 2029–2030 financial year (FY30).

This is one step towards BHP’s longterm goal of net zero operational GHG emissions by 2050, he says.

“Electrification of our fleet is our preferred solution to displace greenhouse gas emissions from using diesel – from trucks to trains to excavators – we’re working hard to electrify our equipment,” Day says.

“Collaborations with partners like Liebherr are critical to accelerate development of the technology required to reduce diesel emissions, while ensuring we continue to improve the safety and productivity of our operations.”

While decarbonising its mining equipment, BHP aims to switch from diesel to renewable electricity or other low to zero GHG emissions power.

WAIO is unable to purchase renewable electricity through the market as it is not connected to an existing grid, so BHP says it is working to introduce the large volumes of renewable or other low to zero emissions power that will be needed.

Komatsu electric

Electrification is a critical step toward reducing emissions from mining equipment and helping mining organisations meet their sustainability goals, Komatsu says

Komatsu will introduce its latest electrification solutions at MINExpo 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada, from September 24 to 26.

The company says it is committed to helping mining organisations reduce their environmental impacts by developing a range of products and solutions designed to meet their needs, wherever they are on the path to sustainability.

The company’s electrification initiatives are built on its decades of experience in electrifying equipment, both for its electric drive trucks and loaders and for its fully electric underground soft rock mining machines.

Komatsu is now expanding on that knowledge to develop electrification solutions for all areas of mining.

Featured products will include:

• T he WX04B, Komatsu’s first battery-electric powered load haul dumper (LHD) with a four-tonne capacity, which Komatsu says is ideal for narrow vein mines. The WX04B will be shown alongside a new Komatsu-designed charging solution.

• T he PC4000-11E electric drive hydraulic mining excavator, which Komatsu says delivers the same digging force operators expect from high-performance diesel machines.

• T he 930E PADT haul truck, which Komatsu says will allow for transition from diesel to battery or even hydrogen fuel cell power sources.

The 930E PADT also supports dynamic charging and trolley assist options to further reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

Komatsu also will showcase its collaborations with organisations working toward a more sustainable future, including GM and ABB.

Komatsu says it will use MINExpo 2024 to showcase the company’s vision for sustainable mine optimisation through solutions and technologies designed to prioritise safety, reliability, cost effectiveness and environmental impact.

EXPANSION

Global impact

A US facility expansion will support a growing need for backup and prime power for data centres globally, Caterpillar says

Caterpillar has broken ground on a major expansion at its large engine facility in the United States.

The company says this large, multiyear capital investment at the Lafayette facility will increase capacity for both new engines and aftermarket parts.

A new building on the Lafayette campus will allow the company to expand its ability to build and test new engines and genset packages and to provide aftermarket components by expanding the campus’ footprint, refurbishing equipment and investing in additional equipment, Cat adds.

“We’re excited for the opportunity to further invest in our Lafayette Engine Center to continue to deliver for our customers,” says Bart Myers, Caterpillar senior vice president of Large Power Systems, who has responsibility for the Lafayette campus.

“We are grateful to the State of Indiana and the city of Lafayette for their support as we make this investment to ensure adequate capacity while enhancing safety for our employees.”

This expansion, the largest investment in Lafayette since the facility opened in 1982, will support a growing need for backup and prime power for data centres globally, driven in part by cloud computing and generative artificial intelligence.

“The success of the Lafayette Engine Center is rooted in our people, our commitment to safety and our dedication to technical innovation and continuous improvement in the interest of customers’ business success,” adds Myers.

The expansion project will also result in 100 new jobs on the Lafayette campus.

Customised trommel

The MDS M412 mobile track trommel, available from Tricon Equipment, can be fitted with different types of drum and screen sizes

The Terex MDS M412 mobile track trommel – offered by Tricon Equipment – is designed to handle a diverse array of materials.

Tricon says it is particularly well-suited for quarrying, mining and handling construction and demolition waste, as well as recycling applications.

A key feature of the M412 is its ability to be equipped with different types of drums and screen sizes. This flexibility ensures the trommel can be tailored to the requirements of specific applications.

Two drum configurations are offered on the M412 – a drum frame with changeable screens or a fully welded drum.

Tricon recommends the drum frame with changeable screens for free-flowing or abrasive applications, offering the flexibility to easily change screen sizes as needed.

The fully welded drum is designed for handling dirty material and is compatible with drum cleaners, which keep the drum openings clear even in the harshest conditions.

The fully welded drum options come in various sizes, including 75mm (3”), 100mm (4”), 125mm (5”), and 150mm (6”), providing further customisation options based on the material requirements. The drum cleaners are specifically engineered to maintain clear drum openings, ensuring uninterrupted operation and maximum productivity.

The trommel is also capable of

screening rocks as large as 800mm (32”), which Tricon says it is a feat unmatched by any other mobile screen on the market.

The trommel’s heavy-duty rotating drum offers a unique cleaning mechanism, Tricon adds. As materials tumble and scrub against each other and the drum walls, they undergo a thorough cleaning process, resulting in a cleaner output product. This mechanism is particularly effective in handling clay-bound rock and materials mixed with other sticky substances, ensuring a consistent and high-quality output.

Weighing 21.5 tonnes and equipped with a Cat 2.2 50kW (67hp) engine, the M412 can produce up to 300 tonnes of material per hour.

As a highly mobile machine, it comes complete with fold-out stockpiling conveyors, making it easy to move around a quarry or from one site to another.

This ensures that the M412 can be quickly deployed to different locations, maximising its utility across various projects.

Tricon Equipment also stocks the M413, M515 and M518R trommels.

To learn more about the Terex MDS Tracked Trommel range available at Tricon, visit www.triconequipment. com.au or call 1300 859 885.

ACQUISITION

Quarry acquired

The 110-hectare operation employs approximately 14 people and will supply Boral’s integrated downstream concrete and asphalt operations for over 20 years, it says

Boral has announced the recent acquisition of Culcairn Quarry in southern NSW, located 50 kilometres north of the NSW/Victorian border city of AlburyWodonga.

The 110-hectare operation has highquality rock resources that will secure the supply of Boral’s integrated downstream concrete and asphalt operations for more than 20 years, the company says.

Further growth is predicted in the AlburyWodonga and Wagga Wagga regions, including large renewable energy projects requiring significant volumes of quarry materials.

Boral previously operated the quarry under a lease agreement for more than 25 years.

The company says this strategic acquisition will enable it to build its longterm position in the region and continue to support its customers.

“Boral is committed to strengthen our positioning in both upstream and downstream assets to better support our customers as part of our Good to Great strategy,” says Vik Bansal, CEO of Boral.

“We have operated the quarry for over 25 years under a lease arrangement, so when the opportunity arose to acquire the quarry land, it made sense.

“Albury-Wodonga has a healthy pipeline of projects, and is naturally, a key region for Boral,” he adds.

“This acquisition enables us to extend our high-quality reserves and continue supporting the community and supplying local infrastructure projects.”

Excavator maintenance

Hydraulic industrial tools specialist Enerpac has launched a lifting system for safer and quicker excavator maintenance

Enerpac’s new lifting system, based on its SCJ-Series Cube Jacks, can lift and hold the entire cab of an excavator, boom and arm – allowing the undercarriage to be safely removed.

Image: Enerpac MAINTENANCE

Maintenance of an excavator’s swing drive and bearings involves separating the undercarriage unit from the upper body cab and arm, giving access to the swing motor and multiple sets of planetary gears, Enerpac says.

Until now, this process would usually involve at least two service engineers jacking up the body and holding it on stands, which is time consuming and a hazardous practice, the company says.

Enerpac’s cube jack lifting system comprises two pairs of cube jacks providing coordinated hydraulic lifting of loads up to 25 tonne per jack, to a height of 2m.

One pair of cube jacks is positioned under a lifting beam at the rear of the excavator, while the other two cube jacks are located

Enerpac cube jacks supporting the excavator cab.

under the arm’s bucket lugs. Each pair of cube jacks is connected to a hydraulic pump to simultaneously lift and lower the excavator body and arm.

“The lifting system has been developed in collaboration with a leading excavator maintenance company, looking for a safer CEcertified approach to removing the undercarriage,” an Enerpac spokesperson says.

“It automatically self-locks so that engineers can work safely under the raised cab without the need for secondary jack stands.

“It has been well received especially for its safety, secure load holding, precision lifting and lowering and quick and easy set-up which make it attractive to users and customers alike,” the spokesperson says.

The CCF QLD says the administrator’s presence brings renewed hope that the CFMEU can be steered back to its fundamental purpose. Image: Stock.adobe / Volodymyr

INDUSTRY

CFMEU administrator welcomed

Damian Long described the appointment as a “significant relief” for members of the CCF

The Civil Contractors Federation

Queensland (CCF QLD) CEO Damian Long has welcomed the appointment of Mark Irving KC as the independent administrator of the Construction and General Division of the Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees’ Union (CFMEU) and its associated state branches.

Long said the appointment marked “a critical and long-awaited turning point” in industrial relations and the way work is carried out on civil construction sites across the nation.

“The presence of an independent administrator of Mr Irving’s calibre brings a renewed hope that the CFMEU can be steered back to its fundamental purpose— representing the legitimate interests of workers, rather than perpetuating a culture of hostility.

“The role of the administrator is not just procedural; it is pivotal in driving cultural change within the union,” adds Long.

“Mr Irving has a massive and important responsibility to guide the CFMEU back to its core mission, ensuring that it genuinely serves the needs of its members and restores trust and respect within the industry.

“This is not merely about regulatory compliance; it is about re-establishing a culture of fairness, collaboration, and mutual respect on our worksites.

“For the members of the CCF, this development is a significant relief,” says Long.

“It signals an opportunity to engage with the Fair Work Commission and other authorities without the looming fear of retribution or recrimination.”

Irving, a barrister, specialises in employment, industrial and antidiscrimination law and is also an honourary senior fellow at the University of Melbourne.

Komatsu and Rio Tinto initially signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2011 to deploy 150 AHS trucks to the Rio Tinto site, and 13 years later the partnership is still going strong with both companies looking to increase the use of automation in mining.

“We’ve led the industry in mining automation since 2008, when we commenced the Rio Tinto trial,” Komatsu Australia mining automation general manager Garry Povah says.

“We delivered the first five AHS trucks to Rio mine sites in Australia in 2011, and it’s incredible to see how much the business has embraced this technology over the years, helping to make their mines safe, and also highly productive.”

safety and labour shortages in the sector, Povah adds.

Without the need for human operators, Povah says AHS trucks reduce the risk of accident and injury, as well as improving productivity, due to continuous operation.

“The AHS fleet at Rio Tinto sites have completed 8.9 million operating hours and have moved over 4.8 billion tonnes of material – all while improving their sites’ effective utilisation (EU) by 15 per cent - a remarkable feat,” Povah says.

Currently, the 300 AHS trucks are spread across 10 of Rio Tinto’s Australian mine sites, and contribute to approximately 80 per cent of its daily production capacity.

ACCESSIBILITY

Improved access

AUSA launches new six-tonne articulated dumpers, D601AHG+ and D601APG+, enhancing safety and functionality

Compact all-terrain industrial vehicles manufacturer Ausa is launching two new six-tonne articulated dumpers onto the global market.

The company says the new models, D601AHG+ and D601APG+, are equipped with new features to improve their functionality and increase their safety.

The size of the bonnet has been increased to provide improved access to the engine and maintenance parts.

Air, oil and fuel filters, radiator, tanks –everything has been optimally positioned to keep downtime to a minimum, it says.

The new European Standards EN 4741:2022 and EN 474-6:2022, which are coming into force in February 2025, require all dumpers with an operating weight between 3,500 and 4,500 kg to be fitted with additional safety measures to prevent the operator from being thrown out of the vehicle in the event of a rollover.

At operating weights of 4,500 kg and above, all dumpers must be fitted with enclosed cabs.

To comply with these new regulations, Ausa provides three different configurations for its new six-tonne models – folding ROPS protective structures with safety rails that are 96 per cent larger than on current models, open cabs and heated enclosed cabs.

This means that Ausa has ensured that all its dumpers which are shipped from the beginning of 2025 will comply with the new regulations.

In addition to the different driver cabs that are available, the D601AHG+ and D601APG+ models will continue to be equipped with additional safety features such as a seat with a presence sensor, seat belt with buckle sensor, negative brake and front view camera as standard.

Global production

The electric compact wheel loader will be marketed under the CASE and New Holland brands and distributed worldwide

The production line for the new electric compact wheel loader was officially opened in early July at the CNH plant in Lecce, in Italy’s south.

The model, conceived and designed in the Puglia plant’s R&D centre, will be produced in CASE and New Holland brands with the 12EV and W40X models respectively.

From there, it will reach markets around the world, meeting the growing need for zero-emission machinery in the construction and agricultural sectors.

The new model completes the company’s range of compact electric vehicles, which already includes the two mini electric excavators produced in Cesena, in northern Italy.

The new electric compact wheel loader, which has been presented at major international trade fairs such as ConEXPO in Las Vegas and Agritechnica in Hanover, offers significant advantages in terms of low noise and zero emissions, CNH says.

These characteristics make it particularly suitable for operating in closed environments, where CO2 emissions are not permitted, on night-time construction sites and in all applications that are sensitive to noise pollution.

Furthermore, this type of machine

guarantees high performance and lower operating costs than dieselpowered vehicles, the company adds.

“We have not just replaced the diesel engine with batteries,” head of construction product development Ciro Casapulla says.

“We have completely revised the design, also drawing on technologies and calculation techniques typical of the aerospace sector.

“Firstly, by lightening the weight and removing it where it wasn’t needed, in a reasoned and calibrated way to increase performance and preserve the machine’s autonomy.”

The new electric model has a range of three to six hours depending on the type of application.

Recharging can be done with the domestic power socket with the standard 230V on-board charger or with the optional fast charger, which can recharge the 23 kWh lithium-ion battery from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in just one hour, thus enabling continuous use throughout the working day.

Low carbon concrete

The two-year project aims to further demonstrate the technical feasibility of calcined clay concrete for use in Australian buildings and infrastructure

Construction materials company Boral, in partnership with industry bodies and researchers, is developing a lower carbon concrete product using Australian calcined clay as an alternative supplementary cementitious material (SCM).

Boral has partnered with the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Transport for NSW, and environmental technology company Calix, as part of a project supported by SmartCrete CRC, an independent cooperative research centre (CRC) that brings together collaborators from industry, research and government to ensure the viability of Australia’s concrete infrastructure.

The two-year project, co-funded through the Commonwealth’s CRC Program, aims to further demonstrate the technical feasibility of calcined clay concrete for use in Australian buildings and infrastructure.

The partners – comprising suppliers, university researchers, asset owners and providers – will work on accelerated lab testing and field trials as part of the validation stage.

A first batch of Boral clay has been successfully calcined by Calix’s unique renewably powered electric calcination technology, demonstrating the potential of the approach to produce a low carbon intensity SCM.

“We are continuously improving and diversifying our lower carbon

concrete offering by identifying new ways to reduce the cementitious intensity of our products,” says Vik Bansal, CEO and managing director at Boral.

“The strong demand and take-up of our lower carbon concrete range can be seen across many major Australian buildings and construction projects which use our Envisia and Envirocrete products.

“We are excited about the next generation of work being done in lower carbon concrete and Boral’s ability to support the decarbonisation of Australia’s building and infrastructure for many years to come.”

Dr Ali Nezhad, head of sustainability and innovation at Boral and Boral lead on the calcined clay project, adds: “It’s an exciting time to be at the forefront of the research and development being done on lower carbon concrete.

“The industry is constantly looking for ways to innovate, push the boundaries and find ways to be more sustainable. Given the abundance of clay in Australia, using Australian calcined clay was a natural decision for us.

“We have been impressed with the work done to date and initial testing in this project is promising,” Ali says.

Sustainability programs

The programs will produce graduates with specialist sustainability skills for industries that have traditionally had high carbon emissions

RMIT has launched a suite of vocational education skill sets to prepare the local building design and construction workforces for the clean economy future.

The three qualifications, known as the Sustainable Building Design Skill Sets, will provide existing and new workers with knowledge across sustainable building design, construction and retrofitting, and operations.

Skill sets are short courses for students looking to upskill, or to complement broader qualifications, including construction project management, architecture and industrial design.

The skill sets will be fee-free during the pilot in 2024, before they are assessed for possible continued delivery.

The programs will help produce graduates with specialist sustainability skills for industries that have traditionally had high carbon emissions, according to Carolyn Smith, manager of innovation projects at RMIT.

“There is a huge need to upskill the building design and construction workforce, to ensure we have the relevant skills here in Victoria, but also to contribute to the clean economy future,” she says.

Mish Eastman, deputy vice chancellor vocational education and vice president at RMIT, says the skill sets will help support Victoria’s transition to a clean economy.

“As Australia’s largest dual-sector university, RMIT and our College of Vocational Education is primed to support the transition to a clean economy through the co-creation and delivery of new and emerging skills – working hand in glove with our industry partners, communities, and government,” she says.

The skill sets have been developed with funding from the Victorian Government’s $6 million Clean Economy Workforce Capacity Building Fund.

Software developments

Many new improvements to Topcon’s CAD suite stemmed from user feedback, according to local distributor Aptella

Topcon has released a new version of its popular computer aided design (CAD) software suite, formerly known as Magnet.

With enhanced features and workflow improvements to the office, field and tools modules, version 9 has been renamed under the Topcon software suite as the business retires the Magnet brand.

“Topcon’s software engineering department has been the engine behind this platform for many decades, in all of its iterations – first as Civildes, then Civilcad and most recently Magnet,” says Adam Burke, geospatial business executive manager at Aptella.

“Users can expect the same dedicated software development focus, now incorporated under the Topcon brand.”

With numerous software modules designed for surveyors, engineers, modellers, estimators and project managers, Topcon aims to maximise productivity through connected software capabilities and workflows.

Whether used as standalone, office-based CAD software, or as an integrated, Cloud-connected field-tooffice solution with Topcon or Sokkia survey instruments, the platform is designed to offer user-friendly, versatile configurations to suit a variety of applications.

Some of the enhanced features of Topcon office version 9 include a range of new options to work with digital terrain models (DTMs), spot

CONSTRUCTION

Cresting the wave

The Victorian government is using a ‘state of the art’ technique to recycle roads on its Big Build upgrade projects

A foamed bitumen process is being used on Victorian Big Build upgrade projects to achieve efficiencies, while improving the state’s roads.

Currently being used on the Bridge Inn Road Upgrade in Doreen, the process involves milling old roadway to rubble then mixing in foamed bitumen – created by injecting air and water into hot bitumen.

The mixed materials produce a durable, flexible road pavement with properties similar to asphalt.

By doing this, old road materials don’t need to be removed and there is less reliance on new materials, which has reduced machinery movements and therefore decreased construction times, Victoria’s Big Build says.

The foamed bitumen’s durability has also enabled operators to reduce the thickness of the roadway’s top layer of asphalt pavement – leading to further savings.

Along with the efficiencies achieved, recycling the old road has decreased the reliance on landfill, virgin materials and quarrying, Victoria’s Big Build adds.

The process also produces less dust, allowing savings on water where it may otherwise be required for dust-suppression activities.

The use of the foamed bitumen aligns with the Victorian Government’s Recycled First policy – which requires construction companies to demonstrate how they will optimise the use of recycled materials on state transport projects.

In addition to the Bridge Inn Road Upgrade in Doreen, foamed bitumen has been used on the Sunbury Road Upgrade between Sunbury and Bulla, and previously on the Golf Links Road Upgrade in Langwarrin South.

Victoria’s Suburban Rail Loop is set to see a world-first allwomen crew helping to build the tunnels

The world’s first all-women tunnel boring machine (TBM) crew will be part of the team building the Suburban Rail Loop (SRL) East in Victoria under a new initiative announced in August.

SRL East Tunnels South construction manager Isolde Piet will lead the team, drawing on her experience as the first female TBM pilot in the world.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to be a part of this incredible project and this history-making initiative, which I hope will encourage many more women to join the industry.”

The team is to include approximately 25 highly skilled roles, including the TBM operator, gantry and segment crane operators, grouters and support roles – opening careers for a new generation of women.

It will be one of eight crews operating the four TBMs digging the SRL East twin tunnels between Cheltenham and Glen Waverley.

SRL East will deliver six new underground stations between Cheltenham and Box Hill, reducing travel times and congestion and connecting people to new housing options and key employment, health and education destinations in

Melbourne’s east and southeast.

Tunnelling for SRL East will start in 2026 and the all-women TBM crew is expected to be operating by 2027.

Expressions of interest are now open for those keen to be part of this ground-breaking crew and previous experience is not necessary.

Comprehensive training will form part of this opportunity, so women are encouraged to apply – even if they aren’t working in construction or tunnelling or if they are at the start of their career.

Construction of SRL East is creating up to 8,000 jobs, Victoria’s Big Build says, with works underway at all six station sites and more than 1,400 people already working on the project. Crews are moving underground services and building tunnel boring machine launch sites, preparing sites for major construction.

At least 10 per cent of total labour hours on the Tunnels South works will be worked by women to help break down barriers and create new pathways for women in construction.

In the loop

Upgrades to the D3 Distributed Control system will help eliminate guesswork around valves and enable a new controller to be used, new owner Valmet says.

New controllers, a new operating system and its new PID Loop Optimizer are some of the key changes Valmet is rolling out in its DC Distributed Control System.

The Version 16.3 update is the first significant update since Finnish automation and flow control solutions company Valmet acquired the D3 Distributed Control System (DCS) automation platform from NovaTech Automation last year.

Valmet Automation Systems North America senior product manager Mike Davis says the update includes bug fixes, security and usability enhancements to boost the platform’s reliability and performance.

“Our goal is to provide a seamless forward migration path so processors can keep their systems running for decades to come,” says Davis.

He says that integrating Valmet’s PID Loop Optimizer into D3 is one of the most significant value-added improvements it has made – having come from Valmet’s portfolio of existing automation solutions.

“There are PID tuning parameters that affect how a valve will behave, for example, whether it reacts aggressively or slowly to the changing process. Getting that tuning correct can impact the material, the process, how much energy is consumed, and how tightly it is controlled.”

Valmet says that many process engineers need to essentially estimate PID tuning numbers. To resolve this issue, Valmet replaced a third-party software solution and integrated its own PID Loop Optimizer. The optional layered product supports tuning PID and PRF loops and can be launched from Valmet ProcessVision.

“By having the PID loop tuning

software directly embedded in the D3, the operator can call up the loop tuning software directly from their workstation, and it will analyse the performance of the loop and make recommendations for tuning that can be copied or downloaded directly back to the controller,” Davis says.

“Mistakes are reduced since no math and no manual copy-pasting is required… Operators have total control over the tuning selection and can even tune specialised loops like cascade, pH control, and level controllers.”

Two new prompts have been added to the digital input (DIN) block type to support an alarm delay when an alarm is triggered and upon a return to normal. Delays can be placed on the change from normal and change of state (CFN and COS) alarms.

“This specific improvement was based on requests from multiple customers, and we were able to bring the feature into the product,” says Davis.

In addition, the D3 v16.3 also supports the newest controller in its PCM4 line, the PCM4100A, which has a 5-slot backplane rather than the 4-slot backplane of the PCM4100, providing room for an extra I/O card.

“The big advantage for D3 customers is they can now upgrade a 20-plus-year-old Robo CPU to new hardware without losing any I/O slots in a redundant controller configuration,” Davis says. “All part of the effort to help customers maintain long-lived systems at their plants.”

Plant & Equipment

AC easy

A new distribution arrangement will allow the team behind Eniquest generators to focus on designing and building better products, its managing director says

Power Equipment will distribute Eniquest’s AC diesel generators across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific under a new agreement.

Including Eniquest’s Husky, Ranger and Stockman generator ranges, Power Equipment CEO Luke Foster says the distribution agreement is an important milestone for both companies.

“Eniquest’s generators are renowned for their reliability, durability, and superior engineering,” he says.

“They are a premium machine manufactured in Australia – we couldn’t ask for a better addition to our portfolio of products.”

Eniquest managing director and development engineer Don Pulver said the Australian company focussed on building premium products across its range.

“We’re not just about quality – we’re here for the long term and this partnership with Power Equipment allows us to focus on what we do best – designing and building better generators,” he says.

Power Equipment currently supplies Yanmar and John Deere diesel engines to Eniquest, which the manufacturer says helps improve efficiency.

“These generators are designed with a controller that utilises no relays, which when combined with an alternator that has no electronics inside creates less possible failure points in sensitive componentry making the machines more robust overall,” Pulver said.

The Husky model – designed for agricultural applications - is available in 3kVA and 5kVA single-phase capacities, with optional 3-phase power output.

The larger Ranger and Stockman models deliver from 3.7kVA up to a powerful 44kVA across 14 variants in single and three-phase outputs.
