ROLLERS

Conplant will continue producing Broons Group’s impact roller equipment after the division is sold

On a roll

Adelaide’s Broons Group has announced the sale of its specialist impact roller division to Sydney-based Conplant.

“It’s been a wonderful journey but it’s time to hand over the impact roller business to a new partner who’s keen to invest in this unique technology and develop it even further,” Broons Group director Stuart Bowes says.

“We’re confident Conplant is the right choice given the historical synergies of both companies.”

Having started as a general equipment rental business in 1973, Broons has grown the business into specialist compaction equipment, supporting a range of sectors including local government, agriculture, mining and civil engineering contractors.

“We continue to see enormous demand for our towed compaction equipment range right around the globe including our combination,

LOADERS

vibrating and grid rollers along with our Graderoll Mono and Graderoll Duo units, supplied as OEM fitment to the major grader manufacturers,” Bowes says.

“We’ve made the decision to concentrate our strengths in these markets as we see significant opportunity well into the future.

“There’s a long way to go before all the world’s gravel roads are sealed and, until that day, there’s huge potential for our equipment as we’re now totally focused on gravel road maintenance.”

Conplant managing director Ian Coleman adds: “This is a very special moment for us.

“Broons introduced their unique square impact roller close to 40 years ago, and for us to take over their specialist ground improvement division is a testament to the confidence we have in the product –a view shared by their hundreds of clients from all around the world.” Staff at Broons Group will remain unchanged and continue to service clients throughout Australia and overseas.

Australia bound

Develon, the rebranded face of Doosan Construction Equipment, has announced that its -7M wheel loaders are arriving in Australia.

Develon says the -7M wheel loaders are designed for multiple applications

across construction, agriculture and mining. Offering larger bucket capacities and stronger frames and axles, smart technology aids operators to increase efficiency on site.

The smallest of the three new models

available is the 162hp (121kW) 11.3-tonne DL200A-7M, which has a bucket capacity of two to four cubic metres.

The 172hp (128kW) 13.6-tonne DL2507M has a higher breakout force of 120kN compared to the 200A (101kN) and a bucket capacity of 2.4 to three cubic metres.

The largest of the new loaders is the 231hp (172kW) 18.7-tonne DL320-7M, which has a bucket capacity of three to six cubic metres.

Sydney distributor Conplant has also announced that it will be distributing Develon mini excavators through its network.

EXCAVATOR

New model

Komatsu has introduced a new version of its PC490LCi-11 to Australia and New Zealand, which comes built with intelligent Machine Control (iMC) 2.0, helping operators be more efficient and accurate on their projects.

Designed for construction, quarrying and demolition applications, the PC490LCi-11 has a Tier 4 268kW engine and a bucket capacity of between 1.45–2.7 cubic metres.

Komatsu Australia executive general manager for construction Dean Gaedtke says customers can expect a durable and reliable machine.

“The PC490LCi-11 is built for high production jobs,” he says.

“It’s durable, productive and, most importantly, smart. We’ve been looking forward to bringing this updated model to our Australian and New Zealand customers for some time, and we know they’ll definitely see the benefits of adding it to their fleets.

“iMC 2.0 uses Komatsu’s unique sensor package and 3D design data loaded in the control box to accurately check your machine and bucket position against the target, helping minimise over-excavation. It’s an integrated, intelligent and innovative

feature that makes every pass count for operators.”

iMC helps operators to work smarter and more efficiently, with a number of performance improvements from the platform.

“Our research shows that iMC has helped save operators up to 63 per cent of time on site, with iMC helping reduce staking, grading and inspection with its 3D design data and semiautomatic grading,” Gaedtke.

“Accuracy is also improved by up to 33 per cent, with iMC providing the ability to continuously monitor your grade and semi-automatics dig precisely to grade.”

Power is also a key feature of the PC490LCi-11, with the machine equipped with features to boost performance and productivity, while not compromising on operating costs.

“There are two boom mode settings, which provide power mode for maximum digging force or smooth mode for fine grading operations,” Gaedtke says.

“Plus, large displacement high efficiency pumps provide high flow output at lower engine speed, improving machine efficiency.”

Autonomous 3D printing of housing could be a cheaper and faster way to provide accommodation in rural communities

3D PRINTING

Luyten 3D teams with UNSW on 3D printed homes for rural Australia

Remote construction

Luyten 3D, an Aussie 3D tech company, has announced that it is receiving a $3 million CRC-P grant to explore and build 3D printed houses in remote and extreme remote parts of Australia.

The project involves Luyten 3D, the University of NSW and Hanson Construction Materials and will kick off next month to investigate the feasibility of 3D printed homes.

Luyten 3D’s printer can use materials from the area the structure is being built, removing the need to truck in building materials, and autonomously print large-scale structures via satellite.

The aim is to find a way of building housing faster and more cheaply, using local materials.

“The project strongly aligns with the objectives of the ARC Industry Transformation Training Centre for Next-Gen Architectural Manufacturing, which aims to address Australia’s housing crisis through sustainable and digital approaches,” UNSW arts, design & architecture associate professor M. Hank Haeusler says.

“What excites me the most is that, through the CRC-P project, we can extend our efforts to remote and very remote communities, who face additional financial challenges in affording housing due to increased costs of material and labour transportation over vast distances in Australia.

“Our innovative approach of bringing the factory to the construction site while utilising locally sourced materials will effectively tackle these issues, enabling the construction of custom-designed homes at a more affordable price.”

UNSW and Luyten 3D have previously worked on the possibility of using the same 3D building concept to construct buildings on the Moon, using moon rock.

“The Moon poses similar challenges to ones faced when building in remote areas on Earth using traditional building methods,” Haeusler says.

“But, by using local materials and 3D printing, you can not only overcome the challenges of cost of material and labour shortage but also fabricate much quicker and with much higher precision.”

MULCHER

Go pro

Diamond Mowers, a manufacturer of mowing, mulching and brush cutting equipment for the municipal, skidsteer, and excavator markets, has released its latest attachment – the disc mulcher belt drive Pro X.

“Reinforcing Diamond Mowers’ reputation for building a first-rate mulcher, this game-changing attachment outpaces, outpowers and outclasses anything else on the market,” Diamond Mowers executive vice president Dan Stachel says.

“Because we know time is money and productivity drives profitability, we designed this machine to work as hard as the people who use it.”

AWARDS

Engineered for professional mulching contractors and other highvolume mulchers in land clearing, vegetation and forestry management, and pasture reclamation, the new Disc Mulcher BD Pro X pairs a belt drive with a two-speed hydraulic motor to increase torque and disc speed. For improved productivity, the disc speeds up during re-processing and back-dragging. The belt drive system acts as a torque multiplier that prevents the machine from slowing down when slicing through large materials and enables it to recover quickly. Furthermore, an AR 400 bolt-on replaceable liner helps to

Super shredder

German shredder manufacturer

Arjes has spent the past 17 years developing a range of industrial processing equipment to handle waste wood and biomass, construction and demolition waste, household and commercial waste and scrap metal.

With the Arjes Titan 950 covering the heavy-duty end of waste processing, the upgraded Impaktor 250 evo II comes into its own for those looking for a more mobile and compact product.

Offered by Australian distributor Tricon Equipment through its newly-formed division Tricon Environmental, the Impaktor is a versatile machine for contractors, disposal companies and demolition professionals that handle small to medium-sized volumes of waste.

Strength to strength

Since its launch to the market in 2016, Arjes’ Impaktor 250 twinshaft shredder has been making a name for itself in the demolition waste processing and recycling industries, particularly with the launch of the advanced ‘evo’ version in 2018.

The Impaktor 250 is now on its second evolution with the evo II model, which features improved transport properties, more powerful shredding shafts, a new crushing bar system, a height-adjustable overband magnet and simplified maintenance and repair.

The improved quick-change cassette ensures a significantly longer operating time as the pressure during the crushing process is no longer exerted on the fastening

bolts, but on the entire machine. The waveform plates can also be inserted or removed to adjust the final product size, and the plates rotated and reinserted once one side of the cutting blade is worn. Dust is controlled through the use of a water sprinkler system in the feeding area and the machine can be operated with a new remote control. With the Impaktor mounted on tracks, it can be easily moved around on site and handle uneven ground.

Satisfied customer

Hiregrade owner Owen Lane recently added a Shantui DH17 dozer from Cobra Equipment Sales to his fleet and says its pricing, cab roominess and ease of operation make it stand out from other machines

For small earthmoving business owner Owen Lane, the standout features of his new Shantui DH17C3XL crawler dozer from Cobra Equipment Sales is its spacious cabin and how smooth it is to operate.

Lane took delivery of the new 17.7-tonne dozer two months ago, planning to use it to build dam batters on rural properties in Queensland. However, he’d been keeping an eye on the Shantui brand for a long time before making his first purchase from the range.

“I’ve probably been looking into the Shantui brand for about 10 years or thereabouts, just watching what they were doing and looking at the newer models as they come out, what improvements they were doing,” Lane says.

“It came to the point where everything was ticking all of the boxes for me. It’s excellent to operate, it’s very nice.”

High quality, low cost Lane has been running his business, Hiregrade, for over 30 years. Based around 150km north of Clermont,

he services north-east Queensland as well as operating out of Narrabri in New South Wales. A new venture in Cooktown will see a move to the Queensland coast sometime in the next year.

“I started off 30 years ago grading roads and then, in 2000, I moved to Queensland, doing dam sinking on cattle stations and road work up there,” he says.

“So, I was involved in some water drilling, but mainly earthmoving. That’s what I use my grader and my dozer for. I’ve got two dozers, two scrapers, loaders, water carts and a grader, plus a couple of trucks.”

The new DH-17-C3XL dozer is the first machine Lane has bought from authorised Shantui dealer Cobra Equipment Sales, which sells both new and used equipment from its base in Brisbane.

The Shantui machinery range available locally covers 9.05-tonne to 106.26-tonne powershift and hydrostatic dozers, 2.84-tonne to 23.68-tonne loaders and 910kg to 97.8-tonne excavators, as well as graders and rollers.

After discussing the Shantui dozer

Cobra Equipment Sales supplies a wide range of Shantui earthmoving machinery in Australia

The DH17-C3XL fits Owen Lane’s needs perfectly

with Cobra Equipment Sales owner George Nason, and giving it a look over at a field day, Lane says it was time to take the plunge and buy one.

“What attracted me to it is that it’s basically a third of the price of other brands and I think the quality’s just as good,” Lane says.

“I just looked at the quality of the gear and I believe it’ll last a long time and it’ll retain its resale value as the brand gets more popular.”

Smooth moves

With a 204 horsepower (152kW)

Weichai engine, the XL version of the Shantui DH17-C3 model comes with either a 4.7 cubic metre semi-U or 4.5 cubic metre straight tilt blade and a three-shank ripper. The independent hydrostatic drive of each track provides a high degree of manoeuvrability.

Lane says he bought the DH17, which also comes in a larger 19.7tonne LGP version, because he can move it without an escort and it can easily handle his work trimming dam batters.

“The hydrostatic steering is far better than what we used to call a clutch-type tractor,” Lane says.

“They’re just a lot better to operate and a lot more user-friendly. I also can’t believe how much room there is inside the cab.

“It’s got a good speed range and the operator comfort and ease of operation are what makes the dozer stand out. The frame’s strong as well so I think it’ll last a long time.”

With plans already in place to buy another Shantui machine by the end of the year, Lane says working with Cobra Equipment Sales has been excellent.

“I found George to be very helpful

in every way he could be,” Lane says.

“I bought my grader elsewhere but George has since taken over the maintenance and the parts for me and he’s very good.

“I’m looking at getting an excavator, hopefully by the end of the year, which will definitely be a Shantui through Cobra.”

Hose care

Continental hoses and fittings provide high quality solutions for the toughest applications. To get the most out of your equipment, here are key tips to safely use, store and maintain your hose to maximise its life

Continental hydraulic hoses and fittings have been built to handle the harshest environments across industry – from construction, oil and gas, mining and manufacturing to transportation.

Continental’s crimp fittings provide maximum coupling retention on one- and two-braid hose as well as four- and six-spiral hose. Serrations penetrate the cover with a powerful bite into the wire reinforcement, resulting in even hose compression.

Continental fittings are constructed from a single piece of steel without brazed or welded joints, to provide ultimate protection against leaks and potential leak paths. With full-length crimps and a low-profile design that will last longer, the interlocking Bite-to-Wire technology delivers

maximum coupling retention for safer assembly and reliability under the toughest pressure — no internal or external skive required.

To make the most out of your hose and fittings, here are some top tips for hose care and use.

Tips for hose care

Hoses and hose assemblies have a finite life. There are several factors that will reduce hose life.

The maximum operating pressure within the hose should not exceed the recommended working pressure. Burst pressure, which is four times the working pressure, should not be used as the operating pressure of the hose and is for test purposes only. Exposing the hose to pressures higher than the working pressure is

dangerous and will shorten hose life.

Exposing the hose to a surge pressure, above the working pressure of the hose, will also shorten hose life. If surges are severe, select a hose with a higher recommended working pressure.

High heat conditions may have an adverse effect on hose due to the degradation of the rubber and the effect on fitting retention. Continuous use at or above the maximum operating temperature of the hose will cause deterioration of the tube, cover and reinforcement, reducing the hose life.

Flexing the hose to less than its recommended minimum bend radius will decrease hose life. Optimise routing to minimise inherent problems. Excessive external forces such as flexing, twisting or kinking will also reduce hose life. Use the correct fitting or adapter to prevent any unnecessary external force.

Consider the chemical resistance of the tube, cover and the fitting, including the O-ring, to maximise hose performance and life. A hose is also designed with a certain level of abrasion resistance, but care should be taken to avoid excessive abrasion, which can damage the hose cover, accelerating hose failure.

The size of the hose assembly components must be adequate to keep pressure losses to a minimum and avoid damage to the hose due to heat generation or excessive turbulence. Also, use the proper end fittings and crimp or install to the proper crimp specification to ensure a safe and proper hose assembly. Make sure that hose fittings are compatible with the hose.

Safety considerations

Fabricators, end users and installers should be aware of the safety factors when handling or in proximity of hydraulic hose assemblies. The following are some potential conditions that can lead to personal injury and property damage.

As certain fluids may permeate the hose cover, the hose should always

Continental hoses are designed specifically for heavy-duty applications

be used in well-ventilated areas. Any leak of pressurised fluid can penetrate the skin, causing severe tissue damage and burns. Consider the use of guards or shields around the hose assembly to reduce the risk of injury.

Under high operating pressures, the hose and/or fitting can come loose or blow, causing the end of the hose to whip with great force. Again, the hose assembly should be shielded or guarded, even possibly secured, to avoid injury or damage from this whipping action.

Hydraulic fluids are flammable and can explode with a source of ignition. To avoid possible injury or property damage, care should be taken to eliminate ignition sources and to properly route the hose assembly to minimise the chance of combustion.

In some cases a nonconductive hose is required. To avoid electrocution or other serious mishap, the correct hose specification, either conductive or non-conductive, should be used. Should a hydraulic hose assembly fail, loss of hydraulic pressure will impact the operation of equipment. Care should be taken that a sudden power loss to the equipment will not cause personal injury.

When air or gaseous materials are being conveyed, the correct hose should be used. A pin-perforated cover may be required. Perforations in the cover will prevent permeated gasses from accumulating and blistering the cover.

Extreme care should be used when operating handheld hydraulic tools where the operator is in proximity to the hydraulic hose assembly. The following steps should be taken to avoid injury:

• u se strain relievers on each end of the hose to prevent kinking, excessive bending or stress on the hose at the coupling;

• never use the hose assembly to pull or carry the tool;

• exposed hose near the operator should be guarded in case the hose assembly fails, to prevent injury from high-pressure or high-temperature fluid;

• operators of the tool should be protected with the required safety clothing, considering the job and fluids being used; and

• t he hose should be protected against any external damage.

Hose maintenance

To reduce equipment downtime and maintain peak operating performance of the hydraulic system, hose assemblies should be inspected on a regular basis with frequency based on the prior history of the equipment, a set maintenance/ inspection program and the severity of the application or risk potential. Hose or fittings that are corroded or broken, leaking or cracked should be replaced immediately. Inspectors

should also look for missing clamps, guards or shields as well as excessive dirt or grease or contamination and air entrapment.

If the hose assembly can be inspected and detached from the hydraulic system, the assembly can be cleaned by blowing it out with clean, compressed air or by rinsing it with a compatible cleaning fluid.

The hose assembly should be hydrostatically tested, using the approved test stands and procedures as outlined in SAE J517. Test at proof pressure, or twice the working pressure of the hose, for 30 seconds to one minute. When test pressure is reached, visually inspect the hose for any signs of weakness, leaks or any hose movement relative to the fitting that would indicate a loose fitting. If any of these conditions exist, the assembly should be replaced.

Temperature, humidity, ozone, sunlight, oils, solvents, corrosive liquids, insects, rodents and radioactive materials can adversely impact hose products. Hoses should be stored in a dark, dry atmosphere away from heat sources, electrical equipment and the above adverse elements. The ideal storage temperature for rubber hose is 50°F to 70°F (10°C to 21.1°C), with a maximum of 100°F (37.8°C).

Hose and fittings should be regularly checked and maintained in order to maximise their working life

Power on display

Ongoing demonstrations of LiuGong construction equipment continue to underpin the brand’s strong market penetration, as more and more operators across a range of industries recognise the high performance and value of LiuGong machinery.

A recent Dig, Ride and Drive Day in Perth, hosted by Perth LiuGong dealer McInosh & Son, attracted a strong crowd of genuine enthusiasts from across metropolitan and regional areas.

It was quickly followed by another event near Albany, one of the state’s thriving regional hotspots for construction and development.

The Perth Dig Day showcased LiuGong’s wheel loaders, rollers and graders, as well as its large, compact and mini excavators; allowing operators to drive the machines and talk with product support staff.

Johnny Inferrera, with the national distributor for LiuGong, says some operators who already had a LiuGong machine decided to get another after the event, with word spreading amongst local operators of the quality of the machines.

“These events have presented a great opportunity to extend awareness and understanding of the brand as well as the performance and value of the machines, and we

will be looking to hold further events across the country,” Inferrera says.

He says that WA has been one of the biggest markets for LiuGong wheel loaders in the 10–20 tonne range and ongoing product improvements had been lauded.

“The key attraction is that they work and are a lot more affordable than some of the other established brands,” he says.

“Operators like the reliable Cummins engines and related support, and with the sheer volume of machines in the market now, they can have confidence knowing they have got very strong backup and support for their machines.”

The growing number of return buyers was another great indication of operator satisfaction with the brand.

“Some operators are buying second machines and some are on their fourth and fifth machine,” he says.

High quality

WA equipment hire business All Excavator Hire recently added a LiuGong 856H wheel loader to its fleet after an impressive test drive during the Dig Day event.

Based in Landsdale and Gingin and run by the Chapman family, the business has about 40 pieces of

machines

Wheel loaders were among the range of LiuGong machines put to the test by industry operators

equipment, including excavators and loaders offered for wet and dry hire to all parts of the state, including the Pilbara and Kimberley regions. The equipment is used for a wide range of civil, construction and mining works.

Matt Chapman says his father, who began the business in 1991, rarely changed equipment brands, however the 856H was the first LiuGong wheel loader added to their fleet.

“We actually helped shift the LiuGong gear into the site for the Dig Day and the old man jumped into the 856 to give it a demo. He was very happy with how easy it was to operate, also with [the fact that the loader has] no AdBlue or DPF [diesel particulate filter] and without so many electrics that can cause issues,” Chapman says.

“It’s equivalent to other brands in the market that would have cost another $280,000. We can’t fault the quality of the machine. I could pull the [LiuGong] stickers off it and put others on and you wouldn’t know.”

He says the 856H wheel loader has already clocked more than 100 hours

A recent Dig Day showcasing LiuGong construction equipment in Perth, organised by local dealer McIntosh & Son, allowed operators to get up close and personal with the

and was currently working near Geraldton, loading road trains with gravel for roadworks and pushing up stockpiles.

“One operator has said it has more power than other equivalent machines,” he says.

Chapman also gave the Perth Dig Day a big thumbs-up.

“A salesman can sell you the dream, but the ability at the Dig Day to put machines to work in similar conditions to what we experience was great,” he says.

Service support

Civil industry operator Cathal

Gilchreest has been using a LiuGong 848H wheel loader in his business and cannot fault the machine.

Gilco Civil, which has been operating for about five years, carries out various jobs including water, sewer, stormwater, rail, trenching and pipe laying works throughout the greater Perth region.

Gilchreest says Perth dealer McIntosh & Son has provided excellent service and support via Glen Campbell with other machines in his business, and when he noticed the Cummins

engine and ZF running gear and then took the LiuGong loader for a test, he was thoroughly impressed.

On one job in particular, where he had to quickly shift three semitrailer loads of material to help provide access, the speed and efficiency of the wheel loader particularly stood out.

“It is the same as other machines and at around half the price – you

can’t go wrong,” Gilchreest says.

“For someone like myself, it’s ideal. A construction company I work with is also now buying a second machine.”

Fleet focus

Komatsu Australia has launched a new simplified, all-encompassing fleet management system for its construction customers, called myFleet.

myFleet allows users to view all machine data across their entire fleet in one location, while monitoring machine health and issues. The system is accessible through Komatsu’s customer portal, myKomatsu, and allows users to request services from Komatsu in the platform so they can keep on top of service schedules and manage any issues on the go.

Komatsu Australia general manager for business transformation Todd Connolly says the team has been working on this platform for a while, to deliver a streamlined system as many customers continue to grow their fleets.

“We’re always looking at what is the next thing we can bring to customers to help them run successful businesses,” Connolly says.

“myFleet is the answer to fill a gap for many of our construction customers – they can have the information they need about their machines in the one place, and can easily access when they’re on the go, whether they’re working in the office for the day, or out on a jobsite.

“Technology and innovation have always been at the core of what we do. myFleet is just another example of a way we’re delivering intuitive yet simple solutions to help move construction businesses forward and provide informationt they might not have had access to before.”

One feature Connolly believes will resonate well with customers is the machine health dashboard.

“The dashboard provides users with the health status of each machine in their fleet, and some more information on what could be impacting their health, such as machine abnormality codes or inspections, so they can plan for any routine services and maintenance.”

To complement this, myFleet also gives users access to a full history of their service events, as well as a view on upcoming booked services or when services should be booked.

“We’ve made sure the dashboard gives users a quick and easy way to request a service booking with our Komatsu service technicians, then post-service they can see the service reports, with a comprehensive list of what has been checked, plus pictures of any issues that may have been captured in the service,” Komatsu Australia national manager, ICT and fleet management Steve Williams says.

“We’re hoping to see some great uptake as we roll out myFleet across our construction customer base, and we’re excited to see how the dashboard will seamlessly fit into their everyday fleet management.”

A new RA30 Rokbak articulated hauler has been a smash hit with Sydney’s DSA Contracting – so much so that a second is on its way

Strong start

In the western Sydney suburb of Caddens, located next to the extensive Kingswood campus of Western Sydney University, a 150-lot housing development is taking shape.

Subdivision works on the new Westwood estate are underway, with local civil contracting company DSA Contracting at the helm.

Formed in 2008, the company has built its reputation on delivering residential and industrial subdivisions, civil infrastructure and RMS projects across north and south western Sydney.

On the Westwood site, a notable addition to the DSA earthmoving fleet is a new Rokbak RA30 articulated hauler, which marks DSA Contracting’s first purchase from Rokbak dealer Porter Group. And, as Earthmovers & Excavators found out when speaking with owner Daniel Aplin recently, it won’t be the last.

Building a business

For Aplin, the move into subdivision work was an evolution over the past 15 years, seeing him build up DSA Contracting into a company capable of handling multi-million dollar projects.

“We’ve grown naturally in that time and now DSA has 50–60 employees working within the business,” Aplin says.

A recent addition to DSA Contracting’s fleet of 70+ pieces of plant and equipment is a Rokbak RA30, which joined the team in March.

Built in Scotland, Rokbak articulated haulers are designed for difficult operating conditions. With a 370 horsepower (276kW) Scania DC9 engine, the RA30 has a 28-tonne maximum payload and eight-speed transmission, with a top forward speed of 55km/h.

With Porter Group’s strong

background in delivering the Rokbak product to quarries, mines and construction sites across Australia, Aplin says he was confident the RA30 would perform well.

“This was our first machine from Porter Group and what they’ve sold in this machine we’re really happy with,” Aplin says.

“So much so, we’ve just ordered another one.”

and rear steel frames articulate 45 degrees to either side for increased manoeuvrability on muddy ground.

Aplin says it was the simplicity of the RA30 articulated hauler that appealed, with it seamlessly getting to work once on site.

“ With its simplicity I think it’ll be long lasting and hopefully it’ll only require preventative and scheduled maintenance for the lifespan of the machine,” Aplin says.

“The Caddens job is a $15 million subdivision site and we’re using scrapers for the majority of the work, but the Rokbak is on site there for material handling.

“It’s been a versatile onsite tool.

It’ll probably move around 1,000 tonnes a day.”

The RA30 includes Rokbak’s Haul Track telematics system, which further simplifies operation and maintenance.

Haul Track provides access to GPS and location tracking data as well as a range of downloadable daily performance reports detailing machine hours, engine speed, idle time and system fault code alerts.

With all this information on hand, maintenance can be planned more efficiently, maximising uptime and prolonging component cycles. Daily maintenance checks are also made easy with ground level test points, a

When asked what it was about his new RA30 hauler that has stood out for Aplin and his team in Caddens, the answer is immediate: “Its drivability. In our conditions it outperforms its competitors,” Aplin says.

“It’s been fantastic so far, which is why we’ve already ordered another one. The fuel burn in particular has been very impressive – it’s half of some of its competitors.”

and New Zealand as part of its new machinery offering – being named Rokbak’s Global Parts Dealer of the Year earlier this year.

For Aplin, it was the backing provided by Porter Group that sealed the deal and made it an easy decision to order a second Rokbak RA30 hauler not long after the first one was delivered.

“A big thing is the sales and support provided by Porter Group,” he says.

“They’ve been great in terms of service and responsiveness.

“When working with a dealer, the key things are the availability of parts, reliability, and if there is a breakdown,

is there prompt responsiveness and service – that’s all we ask for.

“At the end of the day we buy a machine to get 100 per cent running time out of it, with little to no downtime. That’s all we require out of the machine and that is what we’ve been getting with this Rokbak.”

With a second hauler already on the order book, Aplin says it’s a positive time for civil contracting work in the region, with plenty of projects underway. However, he explains, the personal touch is still important for his business, with him being involved from the bid to

delivery process on every project.

“Essentially we’re a civil contractor, but a big thing for us is we are able to produce quality projects time and time again. This is a testament to the great team that we have around us.

“Over the past 15 years, we’ve grown steadily and we have the simple focus on delivering quality projects. Having the support of a dealer like Porter Group, and a product like the Rokbak, helps us achieve that.”

Name to trust

For reliability and longevity at a great price point, look no further than the tried and tested H-Series of loaders from Brisbane Mini Excavator Sales

Now coming up to 10 years of operation in Australia, the Hercules H-Series now forms the core of machinery offered by sole Australian distributor Brisbane Mini Excavator Sales (BMES), says sales executive Steven Ragenovich.

“They’re a multi-function piece of equipment that are easily adaptable to any workplace environment,” Ragenovich says.

“They function as an entry-level loader, particularly for general farm use, but we also have clients working in the recycling industry that have bought these as well.”

The H-Series starts with the smallest 100 horsepower (75kW) H700 model that has an operating weight of 7,300kg and a 2,000kg load capacity.

The next size up, the 8,500kg H850, has a 130hp (97kW) engine and a rated load capacity of 2,500kg, followed by the 10,600kg H1050 with a 3,000kg load capacity and 150hp (110kW) engine.

Rounding out the range is the 12,000kg H1250 with a 4,000kg load capacity and 180hp (134kW) engine.

All H-Series models feature an extra large ROPS cabin that BMES says is 15 per cent larger than other loaders in their class.

The sealed cabin has a stereo, reversing camera, air conditioning, a suspension seat and joystick controls.

Other features include a quick hitch, tow point, pillarless windows for improved visibility, an adjustable steering column on the H700 and H850 models and ease of access to maintenance points.

“The H-Series remains our biggest seller and are very popular across Australia as a high quality, cheaper alternative to other major brands,” Ragenovich says.

“They come with a whole assortment of attachments, including stick rakes, hydraulic blades and post drivers. They’re a multi-function piece of equipment that are easily adaptable to any workplace environment.”

H-Series loaders are used for a variety of industries, from cattle properties and broadacre farming to logging and building material yards.

“We supply to cattle properties, logging businesses and the agricultural sector,” Ragenovich says.

“There are a lot of applications that these loaders get bought for, including recycling yards. They’re a general workhorse and have a lot of applicability for different jobs.

A simple design means straightforward operation and an easy to maintain machine C

All H-Series wheel loaders come with a Cummins engine

“These loaders are built to a high standard and designed to handle long hours.

“They’re a tried and proven product and we’ve always got them in stock. If people are looking for something bigger, we also have the heavy-duty HD range of loaders that go up to 25 tonnes.”

Having been operating from its Yatala base in Queesland for 30 years, Ragenovich says Brisbane Mini Excavator Sales is always continuing to expand its service for customers, with upgrades to its workshop currently underway and even more parts readily available.

“We’re getting bigger and better by the year and that’s the way it’s going to continue,” he says.

“It’s about longevity, reliability and service.”

The Young Group is a familyowned business spanning the full spectrum of property investment, development, construction, management and leasing.

The company was founded in 2008 by Trent and Nakiya Young, who have built the company on family values, integrity and trust to provide a positive contribution to communities and build spaces for businesses and people to flourish. They are leading the way in Tasmania as locals and work closely with all stakeholders to provide quality and value in this space.

“Driven by a strong local knowledge and extensive industry expertise, our team is committed to shaping places that fuel economic and social success,” The Young Group says.

“Working across commercial, retail, industrial and residential sectors, we are focused on delivering innovation and sustainability to achieve a better future for our communities.”

With this mindset The Young Group was open to exploring the Hidromek range of equipment available through Australian dealer Onetrak, even though it was unfamiliar with the brand.

The company is currently working on a five-year, $60 million warehouse development on 6.5 hectares in Hobart’s northern suburbs. The site will include local breweries offering tastings, shops, a community centre, cafes and a factory, adjacent to

affordable homes. Stage One of the project will be starting soon.

Over time, The Young Group has owned a “mix of different brands of equipment, including Hitachi, Komatsu and Kubota excavators, Bobcats, skid steers and a Dynapac roller”, head of construction Tim Holloway says.

The Group was looking to expand its fleet to complete the new projects and was approached by Onetrak to consider Hidromek machinery.

This was the start of the partnership between Onetrak and the Hidromek, back in Oct/ Nov of last year. Since then, The Young Group has added to its fleet a Hidromek HMK310LC excavator and HMK110CS roller, which are currently being used for its subdivisions, quarry work and maintaining the quarry’s access roads.

The Hidromek equipment is “powerful and fuel efficient, with different settings for your power modes and it is on par with other brands – even a bit better”, The Young Group operator Sean Devine says.

“The driving experience is really good – I’d rate it above a 10 out of 10. Both machines, the HMK310LC and HMK110CS, are comfortable, spacious and smoother in the cab, with the HMK310LC excavator being especially comfortable.”

Some of the standouts for the operators are the touchscreen, the Topcon GPS, the Doherty quick-hitch and the cold box, he explains.

“It didn’t take long to get used to the controls as they are standard,” Devine adds.

“The roller is easy to operate, and it is simple to show someone how to operate it. We were impressed with the safety features which include the lock-on controller and having to be in neutral before you start.

“The visibility from the cab is good due to the cab’s design and wide cab angles, and you can also take the padfoot off the roller, providing a multi-option, which was one of the reasons for buying it.”

The aftersales service from Onetrak has also been excellent.

“Onetrak’s support and service has been great, with Onetrak’s attention to detail and relatively quick response time being a highlight,” Devine adds.

“We deal with the service team at the Bridgewater branch. They have been very responsive and great to deal with.

“We get questions all the time about the equipment, with curious people, including truck drivers, wanting to know what the Hidromeks are like. We are more than happy to recommend Hidromek and Onetrak to anyone asking as we are pleased with the performance and comfort of the machines.”

To find out more about Hidromek contact Onetrak on 1300 727 520 or visit www.onetrak.com.au.

Constructive solutions

Viva Energy Australia is helping the construction industry address sustainability and reduce emissions with Shell lubricants and alternative fuels

The construction industry has a key role to play in global efforts to achieve the Paris Agreement goal of reaching net zero emissions by 2050.

Currently, urban environments account for 39 per cent of the world’s gross annual carbon emissions –meaning construction companies are on a journey to decarbonise their operations and their builds.*

To advance this journey, investments in solutions that deliver greater energy efficiency and lower carbon intensity have increased. In 2021, these investments rose by 16 per cent to $237 billion.*

However, with demand continuing to rise, efforts to improve efficiency must keep pace with the amount of floor space created by construction.

Viva Energy Australia, the Shell Licensee and Lubricants Macro Distributor in Australia, works closely with the Shell global teams to keep up to date with global trends in construction, and can help businesses explore ways to build a more sustainable work site. The solutions Viva Energy can assist with include the following:

Proactive maintenance

Four in 10 construction companies say they often experience breakdowns because of ineffective lubrication, with 72 per cent stating that issues with equipment reliability have led to unexpected costs.*

Effective maintenance helps to maximise equipment availability and up-time, and using highperformance lubricants can also improve fuel economy, to reduce

CO2 emissions by 2.4 per cent.*

“There are effective ways to find the right lubricant to for each piece of equipment to drive efficiency,” Viva Energy technical helpdesk specialist Silvana Farrugia says.

“We recommend customers use the free online tool like Shell LubeMatch or contact us at the Technical Helpdesk to find out the best lubricant choices for heavy-duty equipment.”

Biodegradable lubricants

Readily biodegradable lubricants protect a company’s equipment as well as the sensitive ecosystems in which they operate. Shell Naturelle lubricants are classed as readily biodegradable, meaning they are safe for the environment and have low ecotoxicity, so they won’t harm plants or animals should an accidental leak or spill take place.

The use of solar power during production of these lubricants also helps to reduce emissions, with any remaining unavoidable emissions compensated for to make the fluids carbon neutral.*

Reducing emissions

The Viva Energy Carbon Solutions team is on a mission to help customers use more sustainable products to fuel their businesses. Some of these include renewable diesel, or hydrotreated vegetable oil, which is made from sustainably sourced renewable raw materials such as used cooking oil and animal fat from food industry waste.

Viva Energy also offers biodiesel, which can be used as an alternative

to conventional diesel and is produced from renewable feedstocks through a process called transesterification.

“Compared to standard diesel, biodiesel has the potential to reduce carbon monoxide emissions and particulate matter, improve fuel lubricity and raise the cetane index,” Viva Energy Carbon Solution account manager Ben Ramsay says.

“As part of a business’ decarbonisation strategy, it’s a short to medium-term solution that we can assist them with.”

Viva Energy has also released a range of opt-in carbon fuels and products, certified under the Australian government’s Climate Active scheme, [climateactive.org. au] which can be tailored to provide optimal solutions for emissions reduction today and into the future.

“Because our products require no physical change to be certified carbon neutral, they can be used as you’ve always used them – with the same machinery and infrastructure,” Ramsay says.

“This makes them a low-cost alternative to other sustainability options. Our Carbon Solutions offer is an end-to-end offsetting service with the purchase and retirement of offsets on your behalf.”

Viva Energy and Shell Lubricants are equipped to help construction businesses deliver on their sustainability ambitions, while also keeping their equipment running smoothly and their projects running to time and on budget.

For more information speak to one of the experts at Viva Energy. Call 1300 134 205 or email technicalhelpdesk@vivaenergy. com.au / carbonsolutions@ vivaenergy.com.au.

For precision and control in road repair, trenching and quarrying applications, Simex’s range of attachments is designed for accuracy and reliability

It’s not just your machinery that needs to last the distance, but your attachments as well. Simex hydraulic excavator and skid steer attachments have been designed and engineered for a wide range of applications, including demolition, road construction, trenching, quarrying, recycling and forestry.

Covering products for the smallest path-laying projects to large-scale rock grinding, Simex attachments allow for precision cutting.

Road construction

Simex self-levelling road planers and stabilisers are designed for removing an entire layer of asphalt or cement in preparation for trenching, or for milling deteriorated road sections for later resurfacing.

With Simex planers you can maintain constant milling depth in any condition regardless of the ground contour, as lateral slides on the planer automatically align to the milling surface. Both slides move independently, providing greater stability and more precise planing movements as well as reducing material overflows. Dust is also controlled through a built-in water tank and spray system.

The PL range of planers can be used

on skid steer loaders, hydrostatic drive loaders and backhoe loaders. With the option of using multi tooth special drums the operator can remove horizontal road markings, perform road scarifying or take off the top few millimetres of a concrete or asphalt surface. Maintenance costs are kept to a minimum, since the only requirement is the replacement of worn teeth.

PL planers are available in a range of models that run from the PL 25.10 with a 250mm width and 70mm

maximum depth, through to the PL 40.35 with a width of 1,200mm and depth of 350mm. Covering a range of standard, high flow, milling and high depth planers, this range is suitable for small to medium-sized roadworks and is particularly useful for precision work around potholes and kerbs.

Various drums and teeth layouts are available for asphalt or concrete, as well as a multi-tooth drum for fine surface milling.

Simex’s self-levelling PLB/PHD planers are designed for excavators to work on horizontal, vertical or sloped surfaces, and are perfect for surfaces with side-by-side passes. The PLB/PHD standard drum range extends from the 200mm PLB200 with a maximum depth of 70mm through to the 450mm PLB450N, which has a maximum depth of 150mm. With special drums, a maximum depth of 450mm can be achieved.

“Planers are a big part of our business, used for patch repairs on roads, that kind of thing,” Qld Rock Breakers area sales specialist Craig Einam says.

“The big selling point of our units is that they’re compact compared to what else is on the market, so they

Water Spray System to reduce dust and in-built tank in the hook-up plate makes it easy for operators to fill up the tank from the ground.

Performer informs the operator how to work with Simex attachments to maximise power and performance.

SIMEX Planers ADVANTAGE:

• Constant milling depth, always

• Cut up to and against kerbs

• Stability, no vibrations

• Hydraulic side shift

• Milled material remains in the work area

• Independent RH-LH depth adjustment

• Width up to 2,000mm

• Depth up to 350mm

HIGH-TECH solutions for ROAD MAINTENANCE and asphalt remediation

can get into tighter areas and work closer to obstructions. There’s also a built-in water tank and spray system, which means you don’t have to put a water tank on the roof and run hoses.

“Another key point is that we have independent left and right depth control for greater precision.”

Einam says that feedback from the industry on the Simex planer range has been “awesome”.

“They’re balanced, they’re smooth, they’re compact, they work well –we have very few issues with them.

“We get people coming to us and asking us for Simex planers because their friends have got them – we gain a lot of our business through word of mouth. We also sell to a lot of OEMs who put them on brand new machines in a package deal.

“People tell me that these are the best planers they’ve ever used.”

Trenching and compaction

Alongside the planer range, Simex also manufactures a variety of attachments for what Einam says are more niche markets.

For example, the Simex T/TA range of trenching wheels is designed for small fixed-section trenching, cutting and microtrenching and the Simex trenching wheel saws can cut concrete, asphalt or rock up to a maximum depth of

800mm and a width of 250mm.

The range runs from the T200, with a maximum 200mm cutting depth, through to the T800, which has a 800mm cutting depth and can work in reverse. The T450, T600 and T800 models come with hydraulic depth adjustment, while the T450 and T600 also come with an optional trench clearing device.

The wheel saws feature wheel protection at any working depth, ensuring maximum safety of operators and property. Other options for various models include a water spray for dust control, a conveyor belt for loading of material into a bucket and the ability to aspirate excavated material for a vacuum truck.

For compacting trench bottoms, Simex also offers vibrating compaction wheels for skid steers, front end loaders and five to 12-ton (4.5 to 10.9-tonne) excavators.

These wheels can be quickly changed on site, with widths extending from 150mm to 400mm and a maximum depth of 700mm. The rotation device can be mounted to allow for compaction in any position to reach difficult spots. With the reverse-rotation vibrating twin shaft positioned at the centre of the wheel, this increases operator comfort.

Rock grinders

When conventional digging systems are too weak and percussion tools have little effect, Simex twin header rock grinders are designed for trench work in hard and compacted ground. With different cutter drum options and tools with different features, Simex twin headers are suitable for milling, concrete and rock wall profiling, dredging, demolition and quarry work. They can be used in deep and narrow trenches, as well as for underwater work.

Breakout breakers

When it comes to purchasing construction equipment, most people put a lot of consideration into the quality of the machines that they’re purchasing. This is particularly true for large equipment such as excavators, and for very good reason. The quality of the construction equipment you use ultimately affects the efficiency and productivity on your worksite.

Machinery is expensive, and you want to know that you’ve made a sound investment that will stand the test of time. It’s also important to give the same consideration to the quality of your machine attachments – such as rock breakers.

Rock breakers are specialised tools designed to break and demolish rocks, concrete and other tough materials during construction,

mining, quarrying and demolition projects. These attachments use hydraulic power to deliver highimpact blows, enabling them to fracture and break hard materials effectively. With such a high impact workload, the quality of your rock breaker attachment is just as important as the machine that you have it attached to.

Brooks Equipment Sales has recently taken delivery of a range of new rock breakers from Italian manufacturer Italdem. Specialising in rock breakers and attachments, Italdem has over 40 years of experience backing up its products.

Its Series GK rock breakers use first class materials and intelligent technology that predicts the morphology of the rock being demolished, automatically triggering

the adequate force needed by the hammer as it delivers the blow. Hydraulic fluid is used to build up pressure in the breaker, which is then released in controlled bursts to generate the necessary force to break the rock or concrete.

Outperforming other breakers on the market, Italdem rock breakers are equipped with internal sound-proof walls, which contribute to reduced noise. Improvements have also been made to their shock absorbance systems, with springs being substituted with new rubber cushions that absorb vibrations. The simplicity of its assembly also minimises maintenance costs.

“We’ve been importing Italdem rock breakers for three years now,” Brooks Equipment general manager Nathan Fenemer says.

“Our clients use them in some of the toughest work environments in the world and we’ve always received positive feedback.”

The smallest Italdem rock breaker available through Brooks Equipment is the GK-75S model. This little breaker has an operating weight of 75kg and is suitable for excavators up to two tonnes.

Following on from there, Brooks Equipment sells rock breakers to suit excavators all the way up to 45 tonnes. The GK-4000S model for example weighs in at four tonnes, with a chisel diameter of 185mm. This large-scale breaker is perfect for heavy-duty demolition and quarry work.

“Our breakers come complete with a mounting plate and pins, a set of hydraulic hoses, chisel tool and blunt tool,” Fenemer says.

“We’ve got them in stock now, and we can supply them to any location in Australia. We can even arrange inhouse finance for our customers.”

To learn more about which Italdem rock breaker would suit your machine, visit the Brooks Equipment Sales website at www.brooksequipment.com.au, or give Nathan Fenemer a call on 1300 276 657.

Whether its tackling blackberry bushes or clearing up storm damage, Lockwood Excavations’ Diamond Mowers EX Brush Cutter Pro X 50” mulcher attachment can get the job done

For Lockwood Excavations owner Josh Brooks, having a Diamond Mowers 50-inch EX Brush Cutter Pro X attachment for his excavator has meant that everything from grass to trees can be tackled quickly and easily.

From Lockwood Excavations’ base near Bendigo, the land clearance company has been operating across Victoria for the past six years. The EX Brush Cutter Pro X is just one of many vegetation management attachments in the series from Diamond Mowers, sourced from Australian distributor Colbrook Industries.

“We work with government bodies like shire councils as well as in forestry,” Brooks says.

“We do a mixture of everything, from vegetation to general earthworks to flood recovery clearance work, mostly around central Victoria, but we’ll go wherever the client needs us.”

Lockwood Excavations is running the 50” EX Brush Cutter Pro X on a 15tonne Hyundai excavator, as well as another Diamond Mowers product, the 72” SK Brush Cutter Pro X on a 259D3 Cat compact track loader Brooks says, with the company having run Diamond Mowers attachments for several years and with Colbrook Industries providing expert knowledge, the EX Brush

Cutter Pro X was a clear choice for the work the business was taking on.

“We’re mostly handling blackberry and gorse bushes, with some grass mowing as well, along with highend brush like cumbungi [bullrush],” Brooks says.

“The way the blades rotate means that they don’t bind up – they just process the material really well, especially with the extra guarding that we put on. It can mulch everything from saplings to larger tree work as well – up to about 200mm in diameter. It’s a really good, versatile machine.”

The EX Brush Cutter Pro X 50” runs the Diamond Mowers’ Proprietary Tri-Hex Disc which provides greater

inertia in tough conditions, the discs are 50,000 PSI rated steel for unparalleled durability, and the three easy to maintain, hardened steel knives are built to swing, allowing them to break away when coming into contact with large rocks.

“They’re easy to clean,” Brooks says of why he likes Diamond Mowers attachments.

“Maintenance-wise it’s very easy.” Brooks says he would recommend Diamond Mowers attachments without hesitation, and backing up the Brush Cutter’s impressive performance is aftersales support from Colbrook Industries.

“The service we receive is 100 per cent,” Brook says.

“If anything goes wrong I can just call them and somebody will be here straight away. That’s why I went with this machine; it’s the second one I’ve had from Colbrook Industries. Rob and the crew are always very helpful and will go above and beyond.

“We’ve got that good relationship and it’s a great product – they look after us and that’s why I go back to them.”

Series expansion

Olympus Loaders’ FS Farm Series of wheel loaders is getting even bigger with a new telescopic version of the FS300 due to arrive in Australia this month: the FS300T

With the standard FS300 Farm Series wheel loader proving to be a huge seller for Brisbane’s Olympus Loaders, a new telescopic boom version is now making its way to Australia, providing greater reach and greater versatility for material handling.

“We’re bringing it in now because everybody wanted a bit more power in their telescopic loader, so we’ve gone up from 100 horsepower to 130,” Olympus Loaders general manager Simon Collins says.

“This is based on the FS300 model, which we’ve been selling very successfully for about five years. With the popularity of the

FS300 we just wanted to provide that telescopic option to provide a bit more reach to get over highsided tippers and grain vehicles.”

Alongside the new boom the weight has been increased for the FS300 telescopic model, increasing to just under 10 tonnes operating weight. It has a dump height of 4.2m, a level fork reach of 5.35m and a maximum reach of 6.5m to the tip of the bucket.

“It’s got the 130hp Cummins engine that the FS300 has and four-speed transmission with a high/low range, so they’ve got a maximum speed of around 35km/h,” Collins says.

Smooth operation

“They’re also very comfortable for operators to drive back and forth in all day,” Collins adds.

“Everything is assembled here as they are designed for Australian conditions, including the air conditioning.”

The new cabin design has better airflow around the operator, he says, and the upgraded cabin is better designed for protection from dust and noise, it also provides complete visibility over the top of the boom for clear sight onto the quick hitch. With a well positioned LCD screen in the corner of the cab, the reverse cameras have great visibility for

The original FS300 Farm Series wheel loader has been a big seller for Olympus Loaders

added safety – allowing the operator to see any obstructions behind the loader and in blind spots.

Hydraulic hitches provide for quick and easy swapping of attachments, with auxiliary hydraulics for the use of augers and 4-in-1 buckets. Auto levelling to dig function comes as standard, as well as a ROPS cabin and autolube system.

“These are mostly targeted at grain and hay handlers, but they can also be used in construction as a telehandler,” Collins says.

“It’s a versatile machine for construction as it’s got a 5.3m reach, for moving building materials around a yard or loading trucks. The bucket is 1.5 cubic metres, with a three-tonne lift capacity.”

As with the original FS300 the telescopic version comes with a one-year parts and labour warranty and a two-year Cummins factory

warranty that can be upgraded to a five year/ 5,000-hour warranty.

Greater options

With new units of the telescopic FS300T model due to arrive by the end of August, Collins says Olympus Loaders is hoping to get the new machine out on show at a couple of upcoming field days, including Westech Field Days in Queensland and SA’s Yorke Peninsula Field Days.

“It’s always good to have a new release,” Collins says.

“We’ve been selling out of the FS300, it’s such a popular machine. The Olympus FS300T telescopic version is just another avenue we’re taking to give people more options with the loader product and keep ahead in the market.”

He says the success of the Farm Series of wheel loaders so far is down to word of mouth and the quality of the machines.

“Business this year is exceeding expectations and we’ve got plenty of stock coming,” Collins says.

“Our loaders are custom-built for us, so it’s an Australian product – there’s nothing off the shelf. The frames are heavy-duty thicker steel and we use better components for higher reliability.

“At the end of the day, they’re built for farmers by the farmers –we just listen to what they want and we evolve with them. That’s what’s kept our sales so strong –just listening to people.”

Bigger and better

A new dedicated refurbishment workshop at Tilly’s Crawler Parts’ Toowoomba headquarters is providing the team with greater opportunities – and Tilly’s customers are reaping the benefits.

Now as well as reconditioning and building engines, Tilly’s climatecontrolled, low-dust workshops allow the team to provide customers with complete peace of mind using genuine, fit-for-purpose parts.

Producing Dyno reports as primary indicators, the team is testing and bringing horsepower, torque and RPM all up to required specs.

An increase in demand and a shift in Tilly’s business strategy meant that going from one openenvironment workshop to three dedicated bays has not only tripled capacity but is enabling the experienced team to expand its capabilities to C-series engines.

The team was part of the consultative process with the building of the workshop, which includes overhead cranes, hydraulic work benches and a substantial investment in more specialised tooling. Each team member has their own space set up to increase efficiency, worker comfort and quality control.

Currently on the benches are a 3306 engine, 130/140G transmission, D9L torque converter and D4 steer clutch, with preparation

work underway for a C4 engine arriving shortly.

Leading hand Brian Jeans has been a valued Tilly’s employee for more than 16 years. Starting in the warehouse and completing a Cert IV in Business Management, Supply Chain and Logistics, he then moved to the dismantling team where he completed his diesel fitter’s qualifications. His experience across the different branches of the company means that Jeans encourages a learning environment as a collective, rather than each team member keeping their specific skills to themselves.

With a machine operator and parts interpreter, the refurbishment team shares their engineering background

and other knowledge – knowing they are equals on the same path and that they can cover each other’s skill sets. A lack of competition within the team ensures that they work together to get the job done to an exacting standard, get the part out and make sure the customer is happy.

The new workshop also offers the opportunity for in-house training for other members of the 70-strong Tilly’s team, with Jeans encouraging out-of-the-box thinking and problem solving as a key component of the department.

With preventative maintenance essential to long machine life, Tilly’s refurbishment team is happy to offer mid-life rebuilds and quality, pricecompetitive services to customers across Australia. This is backed up by Tilly’s offering of 40,000+ new alternative part lines QA checked and in stock, along with a quality range of undercarriage and attachments.

Tilly’s tagline of ‘always moving forward’ is evident in the company’s investment in more professional outcomes for their team and in turn their valued customers.

Digital transformation

Hastings Deering has released its HD360 platform

In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, businesses across all industries are embracing innovative technologies to enhance customer experiences and streamline operations.

Hastings Deering has now released its HD360 platform, which it says will improve its customer experience.

With 22 branches located across Queensland and the Northern Territory, Hastings Deering executive general manager of construction Seb Banks emphasises the importance of aligning the business’ physical presence with a digital one.

“We need to make sure that the physical value proposition that we deliver in our locations, with our people, transitions and transfers to digital,” he says.

HD360 includes key features such as the ability to track and buy parts, see invoicing and statements and have comprehensive asset information instantly available.

The development of the platform was driven by data, with a focus on alleviating customer pain points and addressing high-volume requests that typically leave customers waiting on the call centre.

By shifting customers to an easily accessible digital channel, Hastings Deering will use the platform to provide technical support to customers and speed up interactions.

“This shift in customer support dynamics ensures that the company’s high-value employees can engage in more meaningful interactions that cannot be easily served through a digital channel,” Banks says.

“By establishing a foundation of trust, HD360 provides customers with peace of mind while utilising its range of features.”

ACQUISITION

Bendigo buy

Kennards Hire has announced its purchase of Bendigo Hire, marking its entry into regional Victoria

Australian family-owned and operated equipment hire company Kennards Hire is expanding its footprint in Victoria with its first regional acquisition in the state.

The acquisition of Bendigo Hire marks the company’s first foray into regional Victoria, taking the state’s network footprint to 32 branches –with more new sites planned over the coming months.

Kennards Hire will expand Bendigo Hire’s existing equipment offering with a range of new products. This will include a range of test and measure equipment, an eight-tonne excavator, concrete grinders and planers, concrete vacuums for silica dust, two-tonne and five-tonne tipper trucks, a range of traffic management equipment, 4” and 6” pumps, a large tracked skid steer loader and a range of lift and shift equipment.

Bendigo Hire has supplied equipment in and around the region for more than 50 years and former Bendigo Hire owner Paul Rockes says the acquisition was a “no-brainer” as he was nearing the age of retirement.

“There’s hardly a job that’s been done in Bendigo, and I don’t think

there’s been a backyard, or a garden landscaped in Bendigo, without equipment from Bendigo Hire,” he says.

“As a family-owned and operated business, we know Kennards Hire will do a good job of continuing our legacy by helping to make our customers’ jobs easy.”

Kennards Hire Victorian general manager Lance Hawes says the acquisition was a special one for the business, marking its first true regional branch in Victoria.

“We look forward to being able to support the local community by adding our breadth of experience and resources to a team that knows and understands its customers,” Hawes says.

Selected pieces of Bendigo Hire equipment and memorabilia will be sent to Sydney and housed in the Kennards Hire Museum.

The new branch is located at 162 Lyttleton Terrace, Bendigo. For more information, call the Kennards Hire Bendigo team on (03) 5440 8500 or visit kennards.com.au.

Speak up MINING

Harassment and bullying are the focus of the new Speak Up, Report It campaign, which is focused on the WA resources sector.

The campaign aims to remind senior executives, mine operators and workers of their responsibility to report workplace sexual harassment and other inappropriate behaviours to WorkSafe.

The campaign is part of an overall approach by the WA government to tackle workplace sexual harassment, particularly towards women in mining. This is in response to recommendations from a Parliamentary Inquiry into the fly-in, fly-out mining industry that showed that women in the industry frequently experience sexual harassment and assault.

WorkSafe WA’s 24/7 hotline, where callers can remain anonymous, can be reached on 1800 678 198. This can also be used to report other mine safety incidents to WorkSafe WA.

Alongside the Speak Up, Report It campaign, the Respect in Mining program has also been launched.

The program aims to increase awareness and knowledge of the impact of gender inequality on women’s safety and the impact of gendered division in leadership within the resources sector.

Mining company Gold Fields Australia will participate in a 12month pilot of the program across its

WA operations, scheduled to begin in early 2024.

Research and development of the program has been undertaken by Curtin University’s Collaboration for Evidence, Research and Impact in Public Health, which has created a suite of tools and resources for use in the pilot.

“We all have a responsibility to speak out against sexual harassment and other unacceptable workplace behaviours,” WA Industrial Relations Minister Bill Johnston says.

“It is vital there is a clear point of contact for those that experience sexual harassment at work. Sexual harassment is a work health and safety issue and we must confront it.

“This campaign is one of the wide-ranging actions we are taking to remind mine operators of their mandatory workplace reporting obligations.”

WA Women’s Interests Minister Sue Ellery adds: “Everyone has a right to feel safe and supported at work. Workplace sexual harassment is not a women’s issue – it is a societal issue that all organisations, employers and individuals have a responsibility to address.

“I am pleased that Gold Fields Australia have agreed to pilot the Respect in Mining program and work with us to drive cultural change and help stamp out unacceptable behaviour.”

Indigenous training

A new Indigenous trainee program is underway in the West Kimberley, as part of the Western Australian government’s plan to rehabilitate the former Ellendale diamond mining lease.

The Bunuba Trainee program, delivered by local Bunuba and Indigenous people, will provide a meaningful employment pathway through an on-country training initiative, it says.

The traineeships form part of the state government’s earthworks contract awarded to Buru Rehab, an indigenous business that specialises in mine rehabilitation services across Western Australia.

Buru Rehab is aiming to employ a minimum of 12 trainees in groups of four, with the company set to complete the earthworks over the next three dry seasons. This phase of the project will address several areas across the site currently experiencing erosion.

“The Bunuba Trainee Program is a fantastic opportunity for Aboriginal people to gain local training, skills and employment opportunities,” Mines and Petroleum Minister Bill Johnston says.

“Supporting regional jobs across Western Australia is a priority for the Cook government as it encourages people to stay and support their local communities.”

The program’s efforts will build upon the safety works completed at Ellendale in 2022. This included the removal of all obsolete infrastructure and equipment.

Ellendale was declared an abandoned mine in December 2015. The ongoing landform stabilisation project is fully funded by the state government’s Mine Rehabilitation Fund.

The Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety has been working towards making the site safe for incoming tenement holders and anyone who may access the area.

Toyota Material Handling Australia

(TMHA) has expanded its footprint in Far North Queensland with the addition of a new branch to service Cairns and surrounding regions

TMHA’s new 1,000 square metre facility is located at 14 Atticus Street, Woree, with a 430 square metre workshop and office.

The company previously had a presence in Cairns with a storage facility that supported up to three service technicians and a salesperson, however the growth of the brand in the area has prompted the need for an upgrade to a more comprehensively fitted-out facility.

The new facility is also designed to support further growth in the region for TMHA’s range of Toyota forklifts, Huski Construction Equipment and other allied products.

The new regional branch features a fully functional workshop capable of handling both pre-delivery and general service work, a large wash down bay, fabrication bay and two general workshop bays.

Furthermore, it also includes pallet racking for parts and pre-delivery storage, a freight dispatch bay, machine storage areas and a generous office space including a board room that can be used for training.

TMHA branch manager Mitchell Ryan says the addition of the new Cairns branch will help the brand establish its footprint in Far North Queensland, helping it to better service customers.

“We are thrilled to be adding a new dedicated regional branch in Cairns, which will help improve the service we offer our valued customers while increasing our base in the area,” Ryan says.

“The ability to effectively and efficiently support our product from within the specific region is a very exciting opportunity for us.”

The Cairns branch can be contacted at (07) 4412 0600 or free-call 1800 425 438.

Strong start

Komatsu’s D475A-8 dozer makes an impact

The new D475A-8 has been working at operations across Australia and New Zealand in various applications, including general dozing duties, coal stockpiling, civil construction, bulk push production dozing and heavy ripping.

Komatsu Australia mining product manager Michael Hall says interest in the dozer since its launch 18 months ago has been strong, with feedback centred on efficiency, productivity and operator comfort.

The D475A-8 dozer has an operating weight of 114.6 tonnes and is powered by a Tier 4 Final low-emission engine, providing more reversing power for higher productivity.

“Our footprint with this machine is continuing to grow, with plenty of interest from customers in iron ore, coal, bauxite, gold and mineral sands,” Hall says.

“The feedback we’ve heard is that the power of the machine and its reliability are the real standouts – its ability to push, rip and move materials has really impressed.

“Along with power, the comfort has been a big talking point. It’s something Komatsu has worked on to improve from the previous models, and now we’re hearing from operators that they prefer to operate these dozers purely because of the in-cab comfort.”

Upgraded features to maximise operator comfort include an equaliser bar shoulder pad, new cab damper mounts, newly designed operator

seat and renewed steering and work equipment lever with improved layout.

“As a result of these changes, this Dash 8 generation of Komatsu mining dozers are among the most comfortable on the market,” Hall adds.

Like earlier Komatsu dozer models, the D475A-8 integrates Komatsu’s exclusive automatic transmission with lockup torque converter, which has reduced fuel consumption by up to 10 per cent, along with greater powertrain efficiency compared with manual gearshift modes.

“All of these contribute to significantly lower operating costs, making it a popular choice for customers,” Hall says.

Technology development has been key in the new design, including the recent release of a teleoperation module for the D475A8. This can incorporate Komatsu’s intelligent Machine Control (iMC) system for dozers.

“There is an increasing demand from customers for remote dozer operation. This functionality, in conjunction with iMC features, will ensure not only improved safety for the operator but highly productive performance across multiple application scenarios,” Hall says.

“Komatsu dozers have long been recognised for their high performance pushing and ripping capability, and overall, we expect to see continued interest in these models, and the wider Komatsu mining range.”

Rubber roads

A new program involving 12 Sydney councils is expected to achieve significant environmental and economic benefits through recycling tyre rubber to create new roads. Having already commenced with new pavements laid in Burwood, the project involves using recycled rubber from end-of-life car and truck tyres processed in Sydney to modify the polymers in bitumen.

While recycled rubber has been used in roads globally for decades, recent research by RMIT University has shown that rubber acts as a sunscreen of sorts, which increases durability and slows the ageing process of roads.

Organised by Southern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (SSROC) and supported by Tyre Stewardship Australia (TSA), the Reusing Rubber: Recycling Tyres for Roads project involves the following councils: Bayside, Burwood, Canada Bay, Canterbury-Bankstown, City of Sydney, Georges River, Inner West, Randwick, Sutherland, Waverley and Woollahra and Northern Beaches in partnership with the Australian Flexible Pavement Association (AfPA). SSROC president and Mayor of Burwood, Councillor John Faker, says the project will demonstrate the benefits of repurposing waste to help drive further initiatives.

“Roads are the largest assets for local governments and one of our best opportunities to move towards a circular economy,” Faker says.

“First glass and now recycled rubber, councils are maximising the benefits of waste derived resources in line with the community’s expectations for government-driven sustainability.”

In partnership with TSA, the program will initially use about 3,600 equivalent standard passenger car tyres, or 2,400 car and 490 truck tyres.

Construction company Boral is working with eight of the 12 councils to provide 2,000 tonnes of pavement material and 1,200 tonnes of asphalt mix. Over the next 12 months, the performance of each asphalt mix will be monitored to see how it performs.

“Developing and scaling local markets for tyre-derived material is crucial in ensuring we recover the valuable resources from end-of-life tyres,” TSA CEO Lina Goodman says.

“For Australians to be custodians of their own waste, we need more local government and industry partnered projects like this one, to support local jobs and spearhead Australia’s circular economy for used tyres.”

Monster miner

1300

On July 26 it had reached federal highway 176, which had to be covered with a metre-thick layer of gravel for its protection to withstand the huge weight.

The Takraf excavator was built in 1981 and first used in the Groitzscher Dreieck open cast mine field. It has been modernised several times and has been at the Schleenhain mine since 1998.

The excavator, which can be used both in coal mining and in overburden extraction, is 32m high and 21m wide. Its wheel boom measures 74m with the average production volume approximately around 1,200 tonnes of coal per hour.

On July 12 a bucket wheel excavator weighing almost 1,700 tonnes began a carefully planned journey between two mine sites south of Leipzig in Germany.

The 11km quest from MIBRAG’s Schleenhain open cast mine to the excavator’s new home in the Peres mining field took until July 31, with the Takraf SRs

excavator moving at a speed of just six metres per minute.

New life

EQ Resources has been awarded a tender for resource exploration activities, which includes a former tungsten mine in regional Queensland

Australian tungsten producer EQ Resources has been awarded the tender for resource exploration activities across 480 square kilometres of northern Queensland, which includes the former Wolfram Camp and Bamford Hill mines.

Situated 90km west of Cairns, Wolfram Camp is named for wolframite – an important primary ore of tungsten, which miners have been extracting from the site since the 19th century.

The critical mineral has numerous uses including in solar technology, wind turbine blades, drill bits and filaments for lighting, with global demand for critical minerals like tungsten continuing to increase as more countries work towards a net zero future.

The Queensland government has been looking into re-commercialisation of former mines as part of its new Critical Minerals Strategy and Queensland Resources Industry Development Plan.

“This project is a pilot that could potentially see more of our former mine sites around the state transformed from a liability to an asset,” Resources Minister Scott Stewart says.

“EQ Resources has a proven track record in revitalising former mines, having established significant mine waste reprocessing operations and recently starting open cut mining at its nearby Mt Carbine tungsten project, creating up to 135 good jobs.”

The Queensland Critical Minerals Strategy revolves around futureproofing the next generation of jobs for Queensland and diversifying and decarbonising the economy.

“Queensland has many of the critical minerals needed to make the renewable energy technologies the world needs for a net zero emissions future,” Stewart adds.

“That’s why we have now also released the Queensland Critical Mineral Strategy, which will oversee $245 million of investment into growing this sector in Queensland.”

Water savings

A new CDE sand wash plant will allow Walker Quarries to expand its production and remove the need

Walker Quarries Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Sitegoal Pty Ltd, mines hard rock quartzite, which is crushed on-site to make construction aggregates and manufactured sand, from its greenfield site near Wallerawang in New South Wales.

As part of its expansion, Walker Quarries wanted to install a sand wash plant that could allow it to produce two spec sands and discontinue the use of tailings ponds.

CDE’s solution comprises its M-Series M4500 modular wash plant, an AggMax scrubbing and classification system, an AquaCycle high-rate thickener and a filter press sludge dewatering system.

This state-of-the-art plant has a feed rate of over 200t/h, producing a wide range of products, including two washed sands (0–3mm and 3–5mm), as well as six aggregate products (5–8mm, 8–75mm, 10–14mm, 14–20mm, 20–75m and +75mm oversize). Two different sands can be produced at the same time, which previously would have required the switching of screens.

The manufactured sand produced is used in the local construction industry and the fine sand and aggregates are being supplied for underlying football and cricket fields as drainage material.

for tailings ponds

CDE’s M-Series M4500 modular wash plant integrates feeding, screening, sand and aggregate washing and stockpiling on a single chassis with a customisable hydrocyclone configuration for precise cut point control.

Due to the abrasive nature of the coarse sand the plant will be processing, CDE also adapted its Atrofeed jet-pump system to increase pump and cyclone life while reducing downtime and operating costs.

The EvoWash sand wash plant incorporates a unique VibroSync drive system to distribute power evenly across the full screening area. This is complemented by the AggMax, which combines pre-screening, scrubbing, organics removal, sizing, stockpiling, fines recovery and filtrates removal on a compact chassis.

The AquaCycle is a high-rate thickener, recycling up to 90 per cent of the process water for immediate reuse in the system, assisting Walker Quarries in maximising water recovery. The AquaCycle is designed to eliminate settling ponds and maximise efficiency.

The new CDE sand washing plant has increased production of sand and aggregate to 200 tonnes per hour

The Wolfram Camp mine was abandoned in late 2018 and has since been a part of the Queensland Government’s Abandoned Mine Lands Program

WASH PLANT

Scroll safe AUTONOMY

RCT has deployed its ControlMaster remote control system on an Amphiroll mud scroller to make operations more efficient and safer for a Western Australian earthmoving team.

The mud scroller, used to aerate the caustic mud of a tailings pond to dry it out, was previously a manual operation requiring two machines to operate at the same time for personnel safety reasons.

RCT’s ControlMaster line-of-sight solution means the operator no longer has to be inside the scroller itself, and instead can operate it from up to 200m away. This custom one-off kit was designed, supplied and installed by specialist machine control company RCT.

“This solution removes operators from any potential danger that could arise from them physically being out on a tailings pond and allows them to instead carry out the task from the safety of a light vehicle located

nearby,” RCT account manager Phill Dean says.

The introduction of this technology has also changed how the mud scroller is transported to various sites.

“Previously, Amphirolls were twice the size, requiring oversize movement permits and weighed about 18 tonnes, so moving this piece of machinery required large multi-lift crane operation,” Dean says.

“Now, the logistics of moving the small unit is easier and only requires a large tile tray and this in itself reduces mobilisation costs substantially.”

As well as deploying the ControlMaster technology, RCT designed, manufactured and installed an EarthTrack custom dashboard.

“This dashboard was designed to display all the integral information in an easy-to-read format,” Dean says.

“It will let the operator know the pump pressures, engine temperature, fuel level and an overall live health report.”

Currently operating at a multi-metal mine in Finland, Australian mine technology company RCT’s ControlMaster solution has been employed to convert a Cat D11T dozer to remote control operation.

The decision to implement the technology on a D11T dozer was in line with the site’s automation strategy going forward and its focus on improving overall employee wellbeing.

“The site experiences extreme temperatures and has legislation in place surrounding dust control,” RCT business development manager Mike Thomas says. This legislation, while necessary for operators’ health, does significantly reduce the amount of time an operator can work each day while operating manually from the cab of the machine.

The solution was RCT’s ControlMaster Teleremote technology, which means the operator can work remotely from a safer environment. In this instance, the operators work from an automation centre located within the mine site, keeping them safe from harsh weather conditions and exposure to dust.

“The technology is extremely robust, which means it can operate effectively in extreme weather conditions such as the -50 degrees experienced on site. It’s fit-for-purpose, designed to cater to mining clients all over the world,” Thomas says.

“In addition to this, ControlMaster is extremely flexible with third-party networks and other solutions, which is what makes the technology stand out from competitors.”

Nanometre perfect

Melbourne-based CNC grinding machines developer ANCA has developed a new nanometre control system, which it says is setting new standards in precision machining.

Installed on its new M7 Ultra machine, ANCA says the system will help manufacturers produce a premium range of cutting tools with “the utmost precision”.

“This cutting-edge technology enables silky smooth movement of all linear and rotary axes, resulting in exceptional surface finishes on cutting tools,” it says.

ANCA’s nanometre control system utilises a state-of-the-art servo control algorithm, allowing for the smooth axis movement that is vital for achieving high quality surface finishes on cutting tools.

Combined with its nanometre-level measurement capabilities, the algorithm ensures ultra-fast response to internal and external disturbances, such as linear rails, bearings or friction.

ANCA says that one of the system’s best features is its ability to reduce reversal errors to the nanometre scale when an axis changes direction during grinding.

Eliminating the reversal marks that could degrade the quality of the tool helps also reduce the need for secondary operations such as finishing or sparkout, resulting in improved cycle times and increased productivity when high-quality cutting tools are being produced.

“By leveraging ANCA’s expertise and deep industry knowledge, the Ultra range of machines equipped with this revolutionary control system opens up new possibilities for the grinding industry,” ANCA says.

“This holistic approach ensures optimal design and functionality, resulting in an unrivalled level of accuracy, performance, and tool life.”

Global winners

Jungheinrich took out two prizes at the 2023 IFOY awards, winning alongside Agilox, Crown, DS Automotion and Still

Jungheinrich won the Special Prize and the prize for intralogistics robots at the International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) awards, handed out in Germany last month.

The Hamburg-based manufacturer’s AddedView fork camera sits in the forks of a forklift, reading barcodes directly at a storage location and checking them with the warehouse management system (WMS), helping to cut storage and retrieval errors and making receipting much easier.

Jungheinrich’s PowerCube is an automated compact container warehouse designed for the storage and order picking of small parts as well as unit loads – accommodating totes that can be stacked in vertical channels up to 12m high – but are easily adapted to different structures.

Jungheinrich chief sales officer Christian Erlach says the victories underline Jungheinrich’s strength in developing new intralogistics solutions.

“With the Jungheinrich PowerCube and the addedView fork camera, we offer our customers innovative solutions that increase their competitiveness and significantly improve efficiency in the warehouse,” he says.

Among the other winners were Crown, with its SP1500 Series highlevel order picker winning the Warehouse Truck ‘highlifter’ award.

Features include all-round visibility with travel speeds of up to 12km/h, a reach height of up to 11.2 metres and capacities of up to 1.25 tonnes.

Crown uses its OnTrac anti-slip

Winners of the IFOY Awards 2023

traction control system to cut slippage or wheelspin during acceleration. The ‘Lowlifter’ category was won by the latest addition to Still’s electric pallet truck range, the EXH 16. The EXH 16 comes with a load capacity of 1.6 tonnes and an integrated lithium-ion battery, which enables front dimensions to be up to 80mm shorter – while providing a much smaller turning radius and width.

Austrian company Agilox won the automated guided vehicle category for intelligent logistics robot the Agilox ODM: Omnidirectional Dolly Mover.

The vehicle is designed to travel autonomously and navigate freely on production floors or in warehouses without the need for a central control system. Its ability to orient to the existing contours with ‘millimetre precision’, is said to eliminate ‘timeconsuming and costly modifications’ to the existing infrastructure.

DS Automotion’s Arcos product was named the winner of the ‘Intralogistics Software’ category, with the product allowing its vehicles to act as automated guided vehicles and autonomous mobile robots through combining with the web-based interface NAVIOS fleet manager.

And Hunic won the ‘Start-up of the Year’ category for its SoftExo Lift exoskeleton – a wearable device designed to provide relief from high and long-lasting stress caused by continuous lifting of heavy objects.

New control system all but guarantees a smooth finish

ANCA says its new nanometre control system will open up new opportunities for the grinding industry

All-rounder

Efficiency and dependability are mainstays of Kaeser’s Mobilair range of portable air compressors – and its diesel-powered units are ideal for working across industry

Manufactured at the Kaeser headquarters in Coburg, Germany, the Mobilair portable air compressor range comprises a variety of sizes and power sources – with petrol, diesel and electric motors available.

With flow rates from 0.85 to 45.8 cubic metres per minute, and pressures of 7 to 15 bar, there is a compressor to suit all applications.

Located in the middle of the Mobilair range are the 8.6 bar M 122 and 8.6 or 10 bar M 123 units, currently available for immediate delivery within Australia.

Respectively, the units have maximum flow rates of 11.1 and 11.4 cubic metres per minute, with 83kW and 88kW Deutz engines and operating weights of 1,865kg and 1,945kg.

The M 122 features mechanical engine management and a traditional control panel, while the M 123 boasts an electronic engine management system and Kaeser’s Sigma Control Smart compressor controller as standard – it is available as an option for the M 122.

The Sigma Control Smart compressor controller has an operating mode display, intuitive user interface and system diagnostics to ensure optimised compressed

air availability, fuel efficiency and efficient exhaust air management.

The economical, diesel-powered air compressors come with a braked trailer and a height-adjustable chassis, making them convenient to move onto and around worksites, while their large enclosure doors make components easily accessible for service.

Both units have 170L diesel tanks – sufficient for an entire shift without the need to refuel, though an automatic shutdown feature is activated when the fuel levels become too low or in case of a fault.

The ability to switch over manually from idle to full load operation ensures a reliable, gentle start when operating the machine in cold conditions. Standard units are rated for ambient temperatures between -10 and +50° C.

An aftercooler and a centrifugal separator ensure cool, condensatefree compressed air, while Mobilair’s anti-friction bearings and Sigma Profile rotary screw airend are designed to help the compressor save energy.

The more efficient airend is available across the Mobilair range, with some of the smaller models available with either

rotational moulded polyethylene or metal enclosures.

Optional features such as a closed floor pan allow the compressors to be used in environmentally sensitive zones, while a spark arrestor and engine shut-off valve means they are suitable for use in refineries and other places where a compressor might take in combustible gases.

Certain Kaeser compressors are available with 6.5 kVA generators to provide auxiliary power without needing an additional machine on site.

Powered by electrical power connections, Kaeser’s electric drive makes those Mobilair compressors ideal for use in low emission and noise protection zones such as tunnels, excavation pits and city-centre sites, as well as indoor operations.

In recent years, many industries have suffered supply issues and prolonged freight delays, a circumstance which has almost become a ‘new normal.’

However, in a change of events, there are M122 and M123 units now available from Kaeser’s Melbourne base.

To find out more, contact Kaeser at au.kaeser.com or call 1800 640 611
