CONCRETE

Alternative materials The M1 extension has been the site of a concrete trial that uses calcined clay Transport for NSW, together with John Holland Gamuda Joint Venture, Boral and Calix have successfully completed an on-site trial of calcined clay concrete on the M1 extension to Raymond Terrace (Black Hill to Tomago), demonstrating what they say is a practical pathway to lower-carbon construction.

Calcined clay is an emerging supplementary cementitious material produced by heating clay. By replacing a portion of traditional cement, it has the potential to significantly reduce embodied carbon, while maintaining road performance.

Results from the trial have been encouraging. The calcined clay mixes demonstrated strong compressive strength development, suitable workability and consistent setting performance in both laboratory and field conditions.

Importantly, the material was successfully batched, delivered and placed using standard construction methods, highlighting its readiness for broader adoption.

The trial tested 32 MPa concrete incorporating 30 per cent calcined clay as a replacement for traditional cement, alongside a comparative mix using 30 per cent ground granulated blast furnace slag. Installed as part of a cycleway, the trial replicated realworld construction conditions.

Looking ahead, the trial opens the door for further use of calcined

clay concrete across low-risk infrastructure applications such as footpaths and non-structural elements. It also provides a foundation for developing future specifications and guidance, while supporting improved sustainability outcomes and ISC ratings.

Earlier this year ACCIONA made its own first pours of calcined clay concrete at sites in Clarinda and Monash in Melbourne as part of the Suburban Connect Project, with 250 cubic metres laid down.

With the material seeing widespread use in Europe, ACCIONA says calcined clay offers a lowercarbon alternative to conventional cement for use in non-structural applications. It also helps diversify the supply chain it says, reducing demand on materials such as slag and fly ash.

“We are generating demand, sharing lessons learned with our industry partners and encouraging the use of more sustainable products industry-wide,” ACCIONA’s sustainability manager at Suburban Connect Andrew Kovacs says.

“In the same way fly ash and slag are business-as-usual alternatives, we aim to add calcined clay to the list.”

Work ready

Australian International Equipment Group’s Thomas Eastwood, John Wells, Blake Burgess and Shaun Sabri

It has been just over a year since Australian International Equipment Group (AIEG) opened its newest branch in Toowoomba and in that time the supplier of new and lowhour used earthmoving machinery has gone from strength to strength.

Offering a wide range of mining, construction, agriculture and forestry machinery from major machinery brands, with a particular focus on Caterpillar, AIEG is also the Queensland distributor of Roo Attachments.

We caught up with AIEG director and general manager Blake Burgess at AgQuip Field Days in August to find out how the new facility and an expanding range of offerings is supporting his customers.

All under one roof The last time we spoke with AIEG, the main focus was its new site on Carrington Road in Toowoomba – adding to its locations in Perth and the Hunter Valley.

When asked how having the Queensland site has supported AIEG’s growth, Burgess says

10

its impact has been “massive”.

“Having a home base to refer people to is fantastic,” he says.

“The facility’s grown and is evolving. We’re expanding the back shed over the next 12 months to accommodate the Roo Attachments equipment and we’re also looking at another property somewhere between Brisbane and the Gold Coast to service that region as well.”

With the philosophy of ‘build it and they’ll come’, Burgess says having a local site that can showcase the new and used machinery AIEG sources from both Australia and overseas has been a winner with Queensland machinery buyers.

“We’ve got return customers coming back all the time,” he says.

“We’ve had a lot of good machinery sales from just people dropping in. So yeah, it’s been awesome.”

In addition to the machinery on display in the yard, AIEG also has a full suite of Roo Attachments equipment available on site. At the Toowoomba site, AIEG stocks excavator attachments for one-tonne through to 50-tonne machines along

with hammers, stick rakes, rippers and grapples.

“Anything we need is quickly shipped up from New South Wales,” Burgess says.

“Anything above 50 tonnes we quote out, and we’ve got the capacity to do mining truck bodies and mining excavator buckets. That’s a huge development for us.

“Another development is the Illumin8 lighting solutions that we now have in stock – they’ve recently been released. We’re now the distributor in Australia for those.”

AIEG is also a distributor of FAE brush mulchers and stump grinders.

Understanding the market On the machinery side, AIEG was showing examples of the quality lowhour used equipment that it has in stock at AgQuip.

A 2024 Kubota SVL 75-3 track loader was an example of the highspec units that AIEG has access to, with Burgess saying that customers have been providing positive feedback on these options.

“We’ve had a lot of these machines

coming through recently, high-spec Kubotas and Cats,” he says.

“All the excavators in that range will have tilt hitches on them. You’ve got UHF radios, emergency stops, battery isolators, orange beacons. This means that for anyone doing contract work, these are ready to go to work.”

Burgess says that AIEG stands out for its attention to detail when supplying used machinery, with every machine given a rigorous inspection to ensure everything is correct.

“We go over the machines meticulously and make sure that they are work ready, so there are no leaks or squeaks or servicing required,” he says.

“We’re a little bit particular about even the operator cab and arm rests and the creature comforts, making sure that they’re right before they go to work.”

From smaller civil machinery to agriculture and mining, AIEG has the supply chain connections to offer machinery across the board, with

Burgess describing his approach as being ‘solutions focused’.

“We work very hard with our Tier One mining contractors and mine

site owners supplying cost-effective solutions for fleets of equipment into Australia,” he says.

“We’ve got really good supply chains internationally for that equipment, and some solid return customers that keep coming back to us because we deliver.”

Giving back If you follow AIEG’s socials you will have seen its branded footballs, and they – along with a kangaroo mascot – were on site at AgQuip.

AIEG is a long-time supporter of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service and raises funds for the charity through the sale of the footballs and other merch at shows.

“Between me racing dirt bikes and my business partner John being an ex-helicopter pilot, we get to see the helicopters a fair bit,” Burgess says.

“All the proceeds from the footballs we sell at the shows go towards that, which comes to around $10,000 in donations every year.”

AIEG supplies everything from compact machinery to mine-class equipment

The Kreat KJ-1290H 75-tonne jaw crusher

New arrival Crusher Screen Sales & Hire (CSSH) is expanding its equipment offering in the Australian market with the introduction of Kreat Heavy Industry’s mobile and modular crushing and screening equipment.

The move follows around 18 months of collaboration between CSSH and the engineering team at Kreat Heavy Industry to tailor the equipment for Australian operating conditions and customer requirements.

Manufactured in Kunming, China, Kreat’s range includes tracked and modular crushers and screens designed for quarrying, contracting and hire applications.

For CSSH, the partnership reflects its experience in the Australian market, gained over more than 15 years of hiring and contracting for crushing and screening equipment.

“We wanted equipment that reflects the way Australian quarries and contractors actually operate, with a strong focus on reliability and keeping production moving,” CSSH manager John Andersen says.

“A lot of the design changes are based on practical experience. We’ve been hiring and operating crushing

12

and screening equipment ourselves for many years, so we know the small improvements that make a difference on site and they all contribute to productivity across a working day.”

Andersen says the practical features that simplify maintenance and reduce downtime were prioritised throughout the development process.

“Downtime is one of the highest costs for any operation, so we placed a lot of emphasis on making these machines easier to service,” he says.

“We prioritised better access for routine maintenance and repairs, so operators can get the work done more efficiently and spend more time producing material.”

Heavy duty crushing Within the jaw crusher range, Kreat manufactures three models, with CSSH initially stocking two of them.

The KJ-1170H is a 53-tonne machine featuring a 1,060 x 700mm jaw crusher, while the larger KJ-1290H weighs 75 tonnes and incorporates a pre-screen together with a 1,200 x 870mm jaw chamber. Both models are powered by Caterpillar hydraulic drive systems.

The hydraulic drive configuration provides an operational advantage when processing damp or difficult materials, as the crusher can be operated in reverse to help clear blockages and minimise interruptions during challenging operating conditions.

CSSH is also introducing the KC300HRS cone crusher to Australia, which is one of two cone crusher models available from Kreat. Both the jaw and cone crushers from Kreat are based on internationally recognised designs.

Powered by a Caterpillar C13 hydraulic drive, the machine combines a cone crusher with a 16 x 6ft (4.9 x 1.8m) two-deck screen, recycling conveyor and stockpile conveyors, and can produce two finished products.

The larger KC400 cone crusher is also available on request.

A key feature across the crushing range is the use of Caterpillar hydraulic drive systems alongside dual-power electric options.

The dual-power configuration allows tracked equipment to operate using mains electricity where available while retaining

the flexibility of diesel-powered mobility when required.

For operators working on longterm projects or sites with access to grid power, this approach offers the potential for lower fuel consumption while maintaining the versatility expected from mobile equipment.

Andersen says the modular electric crushing and screening circuits can also be assembled in a matter of days.

“The modular electric plants are a real advantage for customers looking for the output of a fixed plant without the same level of infrastructure investment,” he says.

“They can be assembled in a matter of days, giving operators a flexible solution that can be relocated or adapted as project requirements change.”

Fine tuned design Andersen says several design changes have been incorporated to improve productivity in day-today operation.

The cone crusher has been positioned higher on its tracked chassis to increase stockpile conveyor discharge height while also improving clearance beneath the conveyor tail drums. These changes

CSSH helped design Kreat’s crushing and screening range to suit Australian conditions

are intended to improve stockpiling efficiency and site accessibility without compromising mobility.

The accompanying 16x6ft screen has also been selected with production capacity in mind.

Andersen says the larger screening area enables the unit to handle the crusher’s throughput across a wide range of sizing applications.

“There’s no benefit in having a high-capacity crusher if the screen becomes the bottleneck, so the larger screening area helps maintain material flow and allows the plant to achieve the production rates customers expect,” he says.

Screening equipment forms another major component of Kreat’s offering. The screening range includes three sizes of mobile and

modular scalping screens, including the high-capacity KSZ-800E 20 x 6ft (6.1 x 1.8m) scalping screen, as well as a series of incline screens.

CSSH is currently stocking the KSH-6203HR 20 x 6ft three-deck horizontal screen fitted with a recycling conveyor. Powered by a Caterpillar C7 hydraulic drive, the screen uses a triple-shaft design intended for highproduction applications.

Similar to the cone crusher, the screen has been raised on its tracked undercarriage to increase the stacker conveyor discharge height and improve the effectiveness of the hydraulic jacking legs during site setup.

As the first machines arrive at CSSH’s Yatala facility and enter service on Australian projects, the company believes the combination of maintenance advantages and modular electric options will provide quarry operators and contractors with greater choice tailored to the demands of modern aggregate production.

“We’ve always believed the best equipment is designed by people who understand how it’s used every day,” Andersen says.

“Bringing our operational experience together with Kreat’s manufacturing capability has allowed us to introduce a range we believe is well suited to Australian quarries and contractors.”

Mining support They’re not sights you see every day along the roads in Central Queensland: a 121kL Ground Force water tank module and a 165-tonne TowHaul lowboy mining float.

While both can be seen on the same mine site, the two items couldn’t be more different in scope and application.

One is a precision water management solution engineered for mine dust suppression and infrastructure support. The other is a heavy-haul recovery and transport asset purpose-built for moving some of the industry’s largest machines.

Together, they reflect FMS Group’s position as a one-stop shop for specialised mining and heavy industry equipment.

Built to standard and spec The water tank module was designed by Ground Force Worldwide and manufactured by FMS Group under licence, as the exclusive Australasian dealer for the Ground Force product range.

Fabricated at FMS Group’s

workshop in Mackay, Queensland, the tank was built to relevant Australian standards and tailored to the customer’s operational requirements.

At its core, the tank uses Ground Force’s semi-elliptical main structure and internal baffling system – a design pedigree that has been tried and tested across mining operations for controlling water surge and maintaining vehicle stability during operation.

From there, the build was customised to suit the client’s needs, including: • a tailored spray system configuration • a dedicated lighting package • integrated camera systems for improved operator visibility • safety access platforms and handrailing systems designed for safe, compliant access.

Once complete, the tank will be transported to the customer’s own workshop for final fit-out, before heading into operation in the Hunter Valley region of New South

Wales – extending FMS Group’s manufacturing reach beyond its Queensland base.

Engineered for mining Running in parallel was the build of the mining float, complete with gooseneck, designed for a Central Queensland mining client.

The float was engineered to transport dozers and drills around site – heavy, high-value machinery that demands a purpose-built solution rather than an off-theshelf trailer.

What sets this unit apart is its custom-designed folding ramp system. Traditional lowboy float loading often requires groundworks or manual handling to bridge the gap between ground and deck.

By engineering folding ramps directly into the float, FMS Group has removed that need entirely – reducing both the operational footprint and the manual handling risk associated with loading and unloading heavy equipment.

The float has been paired with a

Cat 793D truck, and the gooseneck configuration gives the unit a secondary capability: recovering other dump trucks that experience mechanical issues in the field.

Rather than relying on tow straps or additional recovery equipment – which introduces risk through manual handling and line-of-fire exposure – the TowHaul unit can load and transport an immobilised truck out of the field directly.

It was this dual capability, combining primary haulage with safer recovery operations, that drove the client’s decision to select the TowHaul solution.

The build spanned eight weeks.

Manufacturing of the float began at the TowHaul workshop in Montana, US, before the unit was shipped to FMS Group in Australia for final assembly, upgrades, and commissioning – bringing together international engineering with local delivery expertise.

Safety and quality While the Ground Force water tank and the TowHaul lowboy float serve different functions on site, both projects reflect the same priorities that define FMS Group’s approach to equipment manufacturing: engineering to

relevant standards, customising to the client’s operational needs, and designing with safety – particularly around manual handling and lineof-fire risk – built in from the outset.

The delivery of both builds concurrently, across different specifications, standards and supply chains, highlights the scale and flexibility of FMS Group’s workshop and engineering teams.

It’s a reflection of the company’s capability as a provider of end-toend equipment, fabrication, and maintenance solutions for the mining and heavy industry sectors across Queensland and beyond.

FMS Group looks forward to seeing both units enter service and continuing to support its clients with equipment engineered for the realities of Australian mining operations.

Shiploads head of retail operations Dan Bryan says the Toyota 8FBE18 battery-electric forklifts fit in well with the business’ sustainability objectives

Ship shape Ten years ago, Tasmanian discount retail chain Shiploads took bulk delivery of 15 Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) forklifts/ walkie stackers and electric pallet jacks to support its fast-growing distribution network.

The mass purchase suited Shiploads’ philosophy of achieving ‘extreme value’ on behalf of its many customers.

It’s been a hugely successful concept. Buying well and passing on the savings to its customers has made Shiploads a Tasmanian institution.

“The population of Tasmania is 575,000, and at some stage every one of them has visited one of our stores,” Shiploads head of retail operations Dan Bryan says.

Shiploads now have 12 thriving stores across the state, offering core products from homeware to gardening implements, as well as a constantly changing range of special offers.

Its central warehouse capacity has more than doubled to meet demand, and its material-handling fleet has grown to 35.

New additions At the beginning of this financial year, the first of its fleet was replaced.

Shiploads took delivery of three new Toyota 1.8-tonne 8FBE18 three-wheel battery-electric forklifts, replacing three of the original machines.

Shiploads has effectively outsourced control of its fleet management to national distributor TMHA, which established its own footprint in Tasmania shortly after the Shiploads start-up.

“All 35 machines are covered under a long-term rental agreement,” Bryan says.

“It provides us with assurance of machine capability and the security of a fixed annual budget allocation.”

It’s been a mutually beneficial partnership. TMHA’s area sales manager, Hobart/Southern region, Tim French, rates Shiploads as one of his largest Tasmanian clients and highly regards the company for its adherence to strict policies of cost containment and social responsibility.

“All 35 machines are battery

electric. That’s not only environmentally accountable, but it makes sound operational sense when you consider Tasmania’s hydroelectricity network delivers lower energy costs than the mainland,” French says.

Four forklifts work within the central warehouse; the others are employed in the stores. They’re part of a company-wide adoption of ecologically sensible initiatives like switching to LED lighting and giving customers free cardboard boxes in which products arrive, rather than sending them to waste.

Strong relationship Bryan and French, both long-termers in their two companies, work as a team to manage the fleet and to plan elements of the logistics of Shiploads’ expansion.

The three new 8FBE18 three-wheel forklifts are a good example.

“The dramatically reduced turning circle of the new machines made a lot of sense in order to support a new warehouse racking system we’re planning,” Bryan says.

“We were initially wary of three wheels instead of four.

“Tim provided us with ample demonstration of their advantages in our soon-to-be new warehouse configuration, including test time for our operators.”

Shiploads will soon expand capacity within its 2,300-square-metre central warehouse in Cambridge, Hobart, reducing aisle width from its current three metres and requiring new picking solutions. The new three-wheelers offer a 13 per cent improvement in turning capability – a big boost to operational efficiency.

“Tim personally delivered the new machines and provided operator training,” Bryan says.

“More than that, he’s our go-to person for all matters of machine function on our fleet.

“Our people listen to him. By following his advice we’ve never

had a battery failure, and we’ve never had a piece of equipment fail on the job.”

Shiploads employ 300 staff within a framework that prioritises worklife balance.

“The warehouse works seven till three and the shops shut promptly at 5.45 pm,” Bryan says.

“It’s one of the reasons I work here.

Work-life balance is important.”

The company actively supports its communities with an after-school student employment program that provides teenagers with paid work.

And its employment policy has no upper age limit.

“We have an 80-year-old on staff, age is just a number,” Bryan says.

“We employ on mojo. If a person’s values – being genuine, passionate and customer-obsessed – match ours, then that’s the fit we’re seeking.”

It’s one of the reasons the connection with TMHA, its

only material-handling partner, is so successful.

“We rely on them for good advice, and because of them it’s definitely one area of the business that doesn’t require my daily attention,” Bryan says.

Shiploads’ other business covenant is ‘fun’. It’s a happy place to work and visit. In keeping with its nautical theme, it answers its phone with “Ahoy”, and its employees are given ranks, from Admiral (CEO) through Captain (store managers) to crew.

Dan Bryan is in charge of Back-ofShip operations.

The company’s business name holds the promise of a wide variety of products on sale, but its website warns: “Don’t mispronounce us.”

Power couple

L-R: J&R Grego Group directors John and Ronny Grego, with Hastings Deering sales rep Paulie Courtenay

Across Far North Queensland (FNQ), the J&R Grego Group is synonymous with professional, efficient earthmoving and material-handling solutions.

What began as a family stonemasonry business is now an operation encompassing transport, quarrying, concrete, civil construction, erosion control, land clearing and plant hire, supported by a fleet of trucks and machinery.

Based in Kuranda, north-west of Cairns, the J&R Grego Group services customers throughout the Tablelands and the wider FNQ region.

According to director and operator Ronny Grego, the company’s growth has been

driven by a willingness to invest in “the right people and equipment” while expanding its capabilities to meet customer demand.

“We own a parcel of land where we supply raw materials and landscaping supplies, a fleet of trucks, and an assortment of different machinery for hire to service the residential, commercial and construction industries,” Grego says.

“We also do erosion repair, soil stabilisation and remote mobile concrete batching.”

The breadth of these services reflects solid growth, but the company’s story began far more modestly.

The Group is clearing 2,000 square metres of land for a housing development, mulching the vegetation directly on site

22

From small beginnings J&R Grego Group was built through determination, experience and a willingness to embrace new opportunities.

The business traces its origins back to 1991, when Grego’s father and brother John purchased their first skid steer to support the family’s stonemasonry and landscaping work.

“They bought their first Cat skid steer to help them with their projects and to use on the farm. They were sick of rolling rocks by hand and wheelbarrow,” Grego says.

“There were only a handful of compact loaders around Cairns back in those days.”

That machine became more than another piece of equipment. For a young Grego, it represented the beginning of a passion for machinery.

“At the time I was only eight years old,” he says.

“I couldn’t wait for my brother to come home from school, so I could jump on his lap and drive the machine up and down the street because I couldn’t reach the pedals.”

Those early experiences developed into practical skills.

“By the age of 12, I mastered the machine by doing odd jobs on the farm every weekend,” Grego says.

J&R Grego Group has added a Cat 315 excavator equipped with a Cat HM2615 forestry mulcher to its fleet

in the family business provided the experience, while reinforcing the importance of hard work and versatility of approach.

After spending several years in the trade, Grego and his brother looked for opportunities to diversify.

“Working with our father and being a stonemason for a number of years to the age of 22, I – along with John – bought our first tipper and dog, and worked for local companies on site on hourly hire,” Grego says.

That investment marked the beginning of the transport division that has since become a cornerstone of the business.

As demand grew, the brothers expanded into earthmoving.

“We slowly upgraded from one machine to a variety of machinery where today we have a modern fleet of trucks, excavators, the latest skid steers and an assortment of attachments to ensure we can tackle an array of jobs,” Grego says.

The philosophy of continually reinvesting in newer, more capable equipment has remained central to the company’s growth.

Materials expansion J&R Grego Group’s move to broaden its civil and construction offering to include material supply has provided customers with access to quarry products and landscaping materials directly from its Kuranda base.

Combined with transport capabilities and the equipment fleet, this integrated model allows the business to manage projects from initial site preparation through to final completion.

It is an approach that has proved valuable across FNQ, where projects require contractors capable of delivering multiple services without relying heavily on sub-contractors.

“We have a total of 80 units in the fleet,” Grego says.

“They comprise 20 trucks, 10 excavators, a grader, loaders, skid steers, and a vast array of attachments.”

The mixed fleet reflects years of

experience in selecting machines for different applications.

While different brands continue to play roles within the business, Cat® equipment has become an essential component of the fleet as J&R Grego Group expands into new applications.

“We own three Cat skid steers, one being the latest 285 with rippers.

We have two Cat rollers and two Cat excavators, and one Cat backhoe,” Grego says.

The company’s Cat machines are utilised across numerous projects, including civil construction, subdivision work, land clearing, compaction, final trimming and environmental rehabilitation. Their versatility enables operators to move efficiently between different job types while maintaining high levels of productivity.

On the ground One of the best examples of this approach can be found on a rural residential development near Kuranda, where we caught up with Grego. The project involved transforming uncleared bushland into a build-ready site while minimising environmental impacts.

“The project is an uncleared property where we are going in to clear the scrub,” he says.

“Then we are removing the stumps and proceeding with building a house pad.”

Rather than burning or removing vegetation, the cleared material will be mulched on site. This not only reduces waste but also creates mulch that assists with erosion control and environmental

management, which is important in FNQ’s high-rainfall conditions.

“We’ll be clearing 2,000 square metres for the pad. The customer wanted us to clear the whole block, and mulch it all for future use,” Grego says.

Achieving this efficiently relies on pairing the right attachment with the right excavator. For the Kuranda project, J&R Grego Group chose a Cat 315 excavator equipped with a Cat HM2615 forestry mulcher.

The compatibility between the excavator and attachment had already delivered impressive results in demanding conditions.

Grego says the business first bought the Cat machines two years ago after Cyclone Jasper hit the region. The severe weather created demand for vegetation management and land rehabilitation, making the forestry mulcher a timely investment.

Since then, the attachment has become an important part of the company’s capability across construction and environmental projects.

Grego says matching the excavator to the attachment ensures maximum performance while reducing stress on both components.

The combination of these units maximises the performance of the carrier and the attachment, with the excavator’s hydraulic system providing the power, flow and control needed to get the best from the mulcher.

At the heart of the pairing is hydraulic compatibility. The Cat 315 delivers the high flow and pressure required to drive the mulcher at optimum rotor speed, allowing it to

Earthmovers & Excavators

E&E 454 DOW 535 book.indd 23

23

Feature

Smooth modulation of hydraulic flow enables the operator to feather the mulcher into material, reducing shock loads to the machine and operator

efficiently process trees, dense scrub, undergrowth and vegetation without sacrificing performance.

Rather than simply providing raw power, the excavator’s hydraulic system is engineered to maintain consistent oil flow under varying loads, ensuring the mulcher continues operating smoothly even when tackling heavier material.

“Oil flow comes straight back to the teeth pretty fast,” Grego says.

“I’ve had previous mulchers and skid steers that would overheat quickly up here, with the humidity and the heat, and it would take a long time for oil to come back to the head. ”We’d have to bog down, wait a few minutes, cool the machine down, and get going again. With the 315, I don’t have to do that.”

The excavator’s electro-hydraulic system also gives operators precise control over attachment functions.

“Smooth modulation of hydraulic flow enables the operator to feather the mulcher into material, reducing shock loads on both the excavator and attachment while improving cutting efficiency,” he adds.

This level of control also minimises rotor stalling and helps maintain productivity across changing ground conditions.

The Cat HM2615 is designed to take advantage of the 315’s auxiliary hydraulic capabilities. The attachment’s hydraulic motor and internal components are matched to the excavator’s output, ensuring

24

power is transferred from the machine to the rotor.

The balanced hydraulic relationship reduces energy losses, improves fuel efficiency, and allows more of the excavator’s available horsepower to be converted into mulching performance.

“The responsiveness of the machines makes them so easy to use,” Grego says.

“You can turn the machine off, reposition it, and then turn it back on and start mulching again instantly.

“The speed of mulching is important for business; the Cat 315 lets us get more done in a day.”

Integrated hydraulic management further enhances the package. The Cat 315 can be programmed with dedicated attachment settings, allowing operators to store hydraulic flow and pressure parameters for the HM2615.

Once configured, the excavator automatically delivers the correct hydraulic performance each time the mulcher is connected, reducing set-up time while helping protect the attachment from incorrect settings.

Equally important is the design of the 315 itself. The Cat 315’s counterweight stays much closer to the width of the tracks during rotation, reducing the risk of striking nearby objects, vehicles or personnel when slewing. It also allows operators to work alongside roads, buildings, fences and existing infrastructure.

The compact upper structure also

enables the machine to dig, swing and load trucks in confined areas without sacrificing stability or lifting performance.

“The 315 excavator’s reduced swing enables us to get into tighter areas and properties, without having to worry about scraping the counterweight,” Grego says.

“The reduced-tail-swing configuration is valuable throughout FNQ, where many projects involve confined residential blocks, environmentally sensitive areas, or challenging terrain.”

In addition, the Cat 315 retains a long reach and digging force, thanks to its carefully engineered boom and stick geometry.

“It can get higher into the trees and knock the tops off, while giving us a bit of extra power and support,” Grego says.

The machine is designed to provide strong breakout forces and bucket control while maintaining smooth, predictable movements.

This allows operators to perform everything from bulk excavation to precision trenching and final grading with the same machine.

“Previously, with other machines, it would have taken me four or five days for this housing task,” Grego says.

“Using the Cat equipment, I’d probably knock this over in about two.”

Hastings Deering The package was not assembled by chance. Grego credits the expertise of Hastings Deering sales representative for North Queensland Paulie Courtenay for ensuring the excavator and forestry mulcher complemented one another perfectly.

“We purchased the mulcher and the excavator at the same time from Hastings Deering Cairns,” he says.

“Rather than simply selling equipment, Hastings Deering and Paulie worked with us to understand the intended application

before recommending the most suitable combination.

“The upfront service from Paulie was great, with him advising on what machinery and attachments worked well.”

The purchasing experience did not end once the paperwork was signed. Grego says Hastings Deering’s support throughout delivery and commissioning reinforced the company’s confidence in the Cat brand.

“From purchasing to parts to Hastings putting the complete unit together, the process was fantastic,” he says.

“Reliable parts availability and technical support are important for contractors operating in regional and remote areas, where equipment downtime can quickly impact project schedules and profitability.

“Every time there’s a slight issue or I can’t work the computer out on the machine or there’s just a little hiccup, Paul is onto it, with service from Hastings Deering calling us straight away. Within an hour or so, everything’s sorted and dusted, and we’re back into the job.

“Having confidence that support is available when required allows businesses like J&R Grego Group to keep projects moving and maintain commitments to customers.”

Speaking at the project site, Courtenay says his sales territory covered the whole of Cape York, which he says is “a very large area with diverse needs for machinery”.

“I’m a diesel fitter by trade, having done my apprenticeship with Hastings Deering in Cairns,” he says.

“It gave me a good insight into the machines I’m selling and supporting.

“With the Grego Group, we try and get them the right machine for the right job, which is sometimes not easy because the jobs change and the requirements change. Some of the machines are used for 200 hours a year, others up to 2,000 hours a year.

“When Ronny and I first started this conversation about a mulcher and a machine, I offered two different styles of mulchers: one option used a standard rotor with teeth, while the other featured bite-limiting

ribs behind each cutting tooth,” Courtenay says.

“These ribs restrict the cutting depth into the timber, resulting in finer and more evenly distributed mulch.

“In the dense vegetation and vines of FNQ, you can get stuff wound up around your drum, and then the operator would have to get out of his cab to clear the drum. So, we chose the standard configuration of mulcher, and that matched perfectly with the flow rate of the 315.

“Ronny bought the machine and the mulcher as a unit together, and in effect he had a rig that could do mulching easily. Just press one button and it all works. No more mixing and matching of mulchers and loaders.”

As a testament to the variable conditions in the region, the rain was pouring down when we visited the Kuranda location.

“We’ve had two metres of rain around Cairns this year,” Courtenay says.

“But you can be out west where it’s bone dry. You could be on the coast and get 500mm of rain a day. We have to be adaptable and make sure that we can help customers with their needs.”

Further evolution Courtenay says it is a key aim of Hastings Deering and Caterpillar

to help J&R Grego Group become more productive.

“They rely on us for servicing and for maintenance. The mulcher has a two-year warranty and the Cat 315 has a three-year one,” he says.

“We focus on building relationships and making sure that the customer is getting what they want, so they can do their job while we support them.”

For its part, J&R Grego Group has no intention of keeping the fleet dormant.

“Paulie seems to have everything we’ve needed for our operations,” Grego says.

“I think I’ve nearly got every attachment under the sun for our Cat skid steers, which are all paired up well with the machines, and everything just seems to flow and work well.”

He adds that growing customer demand across transport, civil construction, environmental works and material supply continues to create opportunities for expansion.

“Caterpillar is expected to play an increasing role in that future.

We are in talks about purchasing more Cat machinery from Paulie and Hastings Deering.”

If you’re looking for ways to reduce your monthly machinery costs, World Class Finance can let you know your options.

Keeping your business moving How the right finance can help earthmoving businesses acquire the machinery they need, manage cash flow and create room for future growth Whether you are buying your first machine or your hundredth, having the right advice can make a significant difference to the decision you make and, importantly, how that decision affects your business.

You might be starting out and looking to buy your first excavator.

You might have an established fleet and need another machine for a new contract. Or perhaps you have been hiring the same equipment month after month and are starting to question whether owning it would make better financial sense.

For an earthmoving business, purchasing a machine is more than simply buying another piece of equipment. It is an investment that can affect your cash flow, profitability and what your business can do next.

That is why choosing the right finance structure can be just as important as choosing the right machine.

Finance that fits your business World Class Finance specialises in commercial and business finance, helping earthmoving businesses and civil contractors of all sizes access funding for machinery, equipment and their broader business needs.

With access to a wide range of banks and lenders, World Class Finance can look at the options available and help find a finance structure that suits the asset, your business and what you are trying to achieve.

Whether you are buying an excavator, loader, skid steer, dozer, grader or a specialist piece of equipment such as a jaw crusher, that machinery needs to be out working and generating income.

You may have already found the machine you want and simply need to get the finance in place, or perhaps you have several machines under finance and need to add another after

securing a new contract. You could be weighing up whether to continue hiring or buy your own equipment.

Or you might want to preserve cash in the business rather than put a large deposit into a new machine.

The role of World Class Finance is to understand what you are trying to achieve, explain the options available and help structure the finance so it works for your business as well as the asset being purchased.

From hiring to owning A small civil contractor had been hiring an excavator for two years.

As the business grew, the machine was being used more and more until it was in constant use.

With the monthly hire costs continuing to add up, the contractor wanted to look at whether buying their own excavator could reduce their monthly costs.

finance for a used excavator, with the monthly repayments coming in considerably below what the business had been spending on hire.

Apart from reducing that monthly cost, owning the machine gave the contractor greater certainty and confidence to take on more work.

As the business continued to grow, they came back to World Class Finance to finance additional machines and gradually built their own fleet.

Adding to the fleet The finance conversation can be quite different for a business with an established fleet.

An earthmoving contractor was looking to add a dozer to its existing fleet after securing additional work.

The business already had a number of machines under finance, so it was important to consider how the new purchase would fit with its commitments.

World Class Finance looked at the business’s existing finance commitments and the role the new dozer would play, then structured the finance to suit the purchase and the business’s cash flow.

The contractor was able to put the dozer to work without unnecessarily tying up cash, while maintaining flexibility for future equipment needs.

28

For an established earthmoving business, that’s often where good finance advice becomes particularly valuable. It’s not just about funding the next machine; it’s about making sure the finance works for the business as well.

A personal approach No two businesses operate in exactly the same way.

If you are purchasing your first excavator, your requirements will be very different to those of a civil contractor managing a large fleet across multiple sites. You may need a machine quickly for work you have just secured, be replacing existing equipment or be adding capacity as workloads increase.

That’s why World Class Finance takes a personal and practical approach.

The team takes the time to understand what you need, how the equipment will be used and what is important to your business. For some clients, that might simply mean getting the right machine financed quickly. For others, cash flow, existing finance commitments or future equipment requirements may also need to be considered.

Where appropriate, World Class Finance can also work alongside your accountant and other

professional advisers to make sure the finance supports the broader needs of your business.

Beyond machinery Whatever stage your business is at, your finance needs may also extend beyond machinery. World Class Finance assists clients with managing cash flow, refinancing existing facilities, addressing ATO debt, purchasing commercial property and other commercial finance requirements.

Whatever your finance needs, World Class Finance is committed to providing personal service, clear communication and practical support throughout the process.

At World Class Finance, we believe finance should do more than fund an asset. It should support the business behind it.

Talk to World Class Finance If you’re buying your first machine, adding to your fleet, considering whether to buy rather than hire, or looking at the next stage of growth for your business, talk to the team at World Class Finance.

Feature The hose families are designed to serve a broad range of demanding hydraulic applications across mining and other heavy-duty industries

The XCP4S is one of three models in the spiral FRAS hose family

The SR1SN features a single-wire-braid construction

Safety under pressure ContiTech has expanded its hydraulic hose portfolio in Australia with two new fire-resistant and anti-static (FRAS) hose families developed for demanding mining and industrial applications where pressure, temperature, abrasion resistance and safety are critical considerations.

The new portfolio comprises a high-pressure spiral hose family and a braided hose family. The spiral range includes the XCP4S, XCP5S and XCP6S, with working-pressure ratings of 4,100 psi, 5,100 psi and 6,100 psi respectivelywhile the braided range comprises SR1SN and SR2SN, featuring single wire braid and double wire braid constructions respectively.

Spiral family The spiral FRAS hose family is designed for high-pressure hydraulic applications and continuous hydrostatic loads. The XCP4S, XCP5S and XCP6S provide 4K, 5K and 6K pressure capabilities, respectively, giving customers a choice of pressure classes to suit demanding hydraulic applications.

Braided family The braided FRAS hose family provides a flexible solution for medium-pressure hydraulic applications. The SR1SN uses a single-wire-braid construction, while the SR2SN features a doublewire-braid construction, providing

flexible solutions for applications including mobile machinery, machine tooling and agricultural equipment.

The spiral FRAS hoses are designed for high-pressure hydraulic applications and continuous hydrostatic loads.

The range has been developed and tested to meet applicable fire-resistance and anti-static requirements, including relevant Australian mining requirements and MSHA flame-resistance requirements.

The certified hose solutions support customers in meeting applicable mining and industrial requirements.

“What we want to do is offer a solution with regards to the requirements out there on the market,” says ContiTech head of sales distribution – AUS/NZ Lee Cranswick.

“All of our testing has been done internally and externally by verified partners or businesses on these particular guidelines and standards.”

The range has also been developed with Australian mining safety requirements in mind, including considerations outlined in MDG41 and Recognised Standard 23 (RS23) relating to hydraulic systems and high-pressure fluid injection hazards.

Over the last decade, ContiTech hoses have served predominately in the New South Wales and Queensland coal mining industry.

In recent times, Cranswick says

ContiTech has seen increasing demand from other industries for these heavy-duty hoses, with this new range attracting interest from across the country.

“We have the opportunity to serve multiple industries and applications,” Cranswick says.

“We do see a lot of demand for FRAS hydraulic hoses in Western Australia, where one of our largest hydraulic distributors is located.”

Featuring multiple layers of hightensile steel wire reinforcement and a high-abrasion-resistant synthetic rubber cover, the durable spiral FRAS hoses are designed for operating temperatures from -40°C to +121°C. Also reinforced by high-tensile steel, the braided FRAS hose is flexible and safe alternative for mobile machinery, machine tooling and agricultural equipment. They are designed for medium-pressure hydraulic applications transporting oil and water-based fluids with a temperature range between -40°C to 100°C. Available in nominal bore sizes from 10mm to 51mm and the hoses are available with ContiTechapproved fittings.

Damian Long highlighted the innovation show in civil construction projects in Queensland over the past year.

Images: CCF QLD.

Industry update CCF QLD is continuing to advocate for the industry by championing excellence in projects and submitting to the development of a Building Code in Queensland It has been a busy and successful quarter for CCF QLD. Our advocacy efforts are producing results, and our events and other activity for CCF QLD have been setting records.

This quarter commenced with a record 600 attendees at the annual CCF QLD excellence awards.

Winners across the People, Project and Training categories were exuberant, which contributed to the high energy. Congratulations to all the winners.

These projects do not happen without the project teams who contributed their efforts, skills and experience to deliver outstanding results. The innovation demonstrated and challenges which were overcome to deliver these projects can only be described as exemplary.

As a society, we are increasingly asked to deliver more for less and the innovation shown by project teams in their planning and execution and embracing technology is excellent.

The industry has more to give to the delivery of complex civil infrastructure, but our clients need to start accepting more risk. Some of the execution we saw couldn’t have even been conceived of 20 years ago, let alone built.

The Minister for Transport and Main Roads the Hon. Brent Mickelberg MP was pleased to be in attendance and very complimentary of the state of the industry. Hosted by Ben Davis and Olympia Kwitowski the night was, overall, a roaring

34

Damian Long, CEO CCF QLD

success and we look forward to building on this success again next year.

Sandwiched into this quarter was the budget and resultant Queensland Transport and Roads Investment Program (QTRIP) briefing. There is a 35 per cent bump in QTRIP against last calendar year to $55.9 billion over four years and a total state capital budget of $119 billion. CCF QLD is working with all industry stakeholders to bridge the challenges in delivering the current pipeline.

In terms of advocacy this quarter, there has been a strong focus on the underlying theme of productivity.

This is a topic where many different threads need to be pulled in order to deliver tangible outcomes.

There has been a strong focus on industrial relations, with a concerted push for a Building Code to help sure up the industrial environment on government sites is compliant with federal workplace law.

The key elements to this are the protection of freedom of association, the protection of enterprise bargaining, genuine agreement with the appropriate bargaining agents and, critically, ensuring that all enterprise agreements are registered

with the Fair Work Commission.

Industrial relations disruption stems from a variety of factors in the sector, and one we are keen to see put to bed, at least partially, is the demarcation between unions as to their rights of representation.

Our submission to the proposed Building Code was incredibly thorough, and was underpinned by a few basic principles: • no new imposts upon contractors • ensuring that compliance with Federal Law is a requirement to tender on government projects • ensuring that contractors have the flexibility to dictate their own industrial relations arrangements with the workforce.

We are hopeful that the Code will ensure industrial harmony as the state moves towards the Olympics.

More broadly, I am pleased to see the Young Leaders Committee beginning to take shape and provide significant input into our organisation. As a lifelong construction worker, and someone who is truly passionate about the industry, it is great to see the future taking shape.

The CCF QLD State Conference held on the Gold Coast was a roaring success and the growth of CCF and its importance as an organisation to the wider community was underscored by the Deputy Premier attending to personally open it. The role civil contractors are playing in the broader vision of the government is critical.

I said at the Awards the value statement for our industry is “it all starts with a civil contractor”, which reflects the critical enabling role our members play. Essentially our society would not operate unless underpinned by the civil construction sector. The finalists and winners of our awards clearly demonstrated this.

A SANY SY16C mini excavator is getting Ocean View Hire up and running as a business

Strong start From large, well-established fleets to single operators setting up their first business, CEA is supporting earthmoving contractors across Australia with its extensive lineup of SANY excavators, rollers, telehandlers and material handlers.

In Arrawarra Headland, about 30km north of Coffs Harbour on the NSW coast, Mitch Keighran and his wife Coco are setting out on a new venture with Ocean View Hire, and a SANY mini excavator is the first machine to join their fleet.

Just two months into establishing his earthmoving business, Earthmovers & Excavators magazine spoke with Mitch about why SANY was his first choice when it came to purchasing a machine.

First steps For Mitch, the new SANY SY16C mini excavator marks a career change from working a month on/month off with his current job to setting up his own business offering earthmoving and machinery hire services.

“I’ve got a three-year-old boy and my wife at home, so I wanted to stop being away so much,” he says.

“This is why I’ve set up Ocean View Hire and bought the SY16C. I’ll be doing dry hire at first and then do more wet hire once I step away from the other job.”

When asked why the 1.7-tonne SANY SY16C was his first choice for equipment, Mitch says that the SANY brand stood out after hiring a range of different makes and models, with

the hire of a SY16C for a job digging a backyard pool showcasing how well the mini excavator handled on site.

“The block we were digging on is a three-tiered slope with a big granny flat slab at the back,” he says.

“I was very impressed with how powerful it was, for the size, and when I looked at the cost, it was a lot less than a similar machine of another brand.

“It performed even better than some of the well-known brands.”

Operator comfort With a conventional tail swing, CEA says the SANY SY16C has advantages for stability and reach compared to zero tail-swing designs – making it a good option for small-scale trenching

Mitch and Coco Keighran

and the type of backyard excavation tasks that Ocean View Hire has been undertaking.

Mitch says he finds the SY16C to be comfortable for a day in the driver’s seat, with smooth hydraulics and intuitive layout of controls all adding up to make it a standout option.

“There’s a precast concrete pool on the site and I’m leveling next to that, scraping to within a few millimetres, and it handled that very well,” he says.

“I like the position of the joysticks, and the ability to adjust the seat.”

Daily maintenance checks are also straightforward, he adds.

“It’s super easy, just a little push button to open the back hatch, and you can access everything,” Mitch says.

“You can quickly check the oil level and get straight back into it. The greasing points are easy to access and everything is well labelled.”

Growing the business There’s no rest for the wicked, or earthmoving contractors, and despite only being two months into running a business, Mitch says the quality of the machine means he already has his sights set on a second excavator to accompany it.

“I’ve been talking to CEA recently about getting another mini excavator,” he says.

Having used a variety of different brands previous, the SANY SY16C stood out for its power

38

“I’m looking at the SY10U and we’re discussing finance options.

“CEA have been really good to work with and we’re looking into the best way I can go about setting up this business moving forward.”

On a job digging a backyard pool, the SY16C was easy to manoeuvre and operate

Getting stuck in Machinery is used at Wholesale Sands & Recycling for one job: to keep the material moving.

At the company’s Jacob’s Well site, trucks arrive, material is shifted and stockpiled, and old mine workings are progressively rehabilitated, even when the weather turns the ground to mud.

With little room for equipment that cannot perform, the progression of LiuGong machines through the Wholesale Sands fleet is a sign of confidence in the brand.

It started with a forklift for the company’s sand-bagging operation, and developed into the use of a dozer working on reclamation duties.

Now the business is putting an 870T wheel loader through its paces.

Site and operations manager Geoff Gumley says the machines have already demonstrated their worth in different parts of the business.

Wholesale Sands has been supplying sand and soil products

to South East Queensland’s building industry since 1990, with the company’s projects having developed alongside the region.

The sand-mining operations over the past 25 years created a lake covering more than 40 hectares at Jacob’s Well. Today, a 28ha section is being backfilled as part of the rehabilitation process.

The site accepts approved products by the truckload under a licensed operation and strict environmental guidelines. Its location also provides access to the M1, with its proximity to the motorway an advantage for customers.

“It’s an old sand mine that we’re rehabilitating, and we’re progressively returning it to natural elements through the filling,” Gumley says.

“We’ve also got a sand mine over at Norwell, adjacent to Jacob’s Well, where we produce high-end sands for the state.”

The Jacob’s Well operation presents its own challenges, particularly when the weather changes for the worse.

“With the backfill and mud, trucks don’t like wet conditions,” Gumley says.

“We are often involved in pulling out bogged trucks. We get a lot of traffic, so it can become a nightmare.

The machinery that we have must play a part in freeing the trucks and making sure the job gets done.”

That environment provides a proving ground for the equipment, particularly the dozer.

At Queensland’s Wholesale Sands & Recycling all of its machinery needs to be flexible enough to handle a variety of jobs across two sites. A LiuGong forklift, dozer and wheel loader are proving their worth in a high-turnover operation

Job done Wholesale Sands already had two other brands of dozers when LiuGong dealer Construction Distribution Australia introduced Gumley to the LiuGong LD26D. The 24,000kg model comes with 203kW (272hp) of power and a 7.8 cubic metre blade capacity.

A CLG2035H-R forklift was the first LiuGong machine to join the Wholesale Sands fleet

Its specification includes a hightorque powertrain, heavy-duty undercarriage and blade-control system intended for demanding ground conditions.

The machine was demonstrated to Wholesale Sands before being purchased. For Gumley, the appeal was less about complexity and more about getting the fundamentals right.

“We now have three bulldozers, LiuGong being the latest one,” he says.

“We’ve had it for about two months.

“It’s a good machine. The telematics is such that whenever we have had any issues, the main workshop knows about them immediately, and that’s with me sitting in the seat.

“I’ve had phone calls where I’ve been driving it, and I’ve been told to go and fuel up because I’m running low. This behind-the-scenes side makes LiuGong machines a valuable part of the fleet.”

The LD26D has also impressed Gumley through its ability to get on with the basic task of shoving material.

“The LD26 is a good size machine for what we’ve got here,” he says.

“It’s a machine that will push all day long, and it’s great on fuel. The rippers on the back are a bonus as well.

“It’s well-engineered. Everything is straightforward, including the greasing and grease lines. Even

A LiuGong 870T wheel loader is the newest addition, undertaking stockpiling, load-out and sales loading

the way it glides over the mud, considering its weight, is impressive.”

Productivity is another factor.

Gumley says the LD26D can carry a substantial amount of material in front of the blade while maintaining the speed required to work efficiently around the site.

“The blade tilt is good, and we can get seven to eight cubic metres behind the blade when it’s doing a good push,” he says.

“With the amount of traffic we get through here, second and third gear are pretty well run off their feet, and it still pushes fine in second.

“You can do final trimming with it, too. It’s quick across the floor.”

Gumley was impressed with the machine’s operator environment.

“It’s comfortable and has creature comforts and settings you can adjust,” he says.

“Most controls are touchscreen,

down to the radio, and you’ve also got the side dial, so everything is easy to access while you’re operating.

“You don’t have to stop and go through menus. You can just reach across with your right hand and everything is at your fingertips while you’re still operating and pushing dirt.”

Efficiency gains The first LiuGong machine to enter the Wholesale Sands fleet, the CLG2035H-R forklift, works at the Norwell sand-bagging operation.

Wholesale Sands can dispatch between 40 and 150 bags a day from the operation, and the model was taken on as a second machine to save time when loading trucks and handling bagged sand.

The 5.4-tonne vehicle is powered by a 3.3L Yanmar diesel engine and is designed for material handling applications where manoeuvrability and operator comfort are important.

Gumley says its usefulness comes down to how quickly it can get through the daily work.

“We can send anywhere between 40 and 150 bags out a day, so it’s a good little set-up as we try to get our foot in the door of the industry,” he says.

“The truck drivers and staff love it.

It’s capable, quick around the floor, and has all the features we need.”

Wholesale Sands also worked with the LiuGong workshop to equip the machine for its particular operating requirements.

“The LiuGong team decked it out with various mod cons, safety equipment, a fire extinguisher,

emergency stops, and a two-way radio,” he adds.

“One of the things I liked is the way the fork tines could be adjusted to suit different pallets. You just pull the lever and move them in or out. No more getting out of the seat.

It’s beautiful.”

Get a load of that The latest LiuGong addition, the 870T wheel loader, weighs 26 tonnes, produces 280hp (209kW) from its Cummins engine and is equipped with a 4.2 cubic metre bucket.

Designed for applications including quarrying, mining, stockpiling and material handling, it is being trialled at the company’s Norwell operation.

Gumley has already put the machine to work tidying the floor and loading trucks.

“The 870T has all the bells and whistles and plenty of settings. You can do everything you need to do through the computer, and it has power,” he says.

The loader is also fitted with L5 tyres, rather than the L3 tyres that are fitted on most competing products.

An L5 tyre performs well in harsh, abrasive environments because it features an extra-deep tread and tougher rubber compounds, providing cut resistance, puncture protection and longer wear life on sharp rock.

“It’s a good-looking machine. I know that’s not the main consideration, but it’s nice and big, with all the safety equipment and the features in the cab,” Gumley says.

“The air conditioning is beautiful, especially in the Queensland heat.

“It has great push power and a good bucket size. Ours has a quick hitch, so we can use multiple implements, and it has auxiliary hydraulics as standard.”

The 870T is being used across a range of jobs at Norwell, which make its versatility one of its most useful characteristics.

“We have an array of different jobs we can use it for, including stockpiling, load-out and sales loading,” he says.

“We do a lot of screening and have our bagging plant and bagging operation, so there are multiple functions.

“I’m looking forward to putting it to

CDA support For Wholesale Sands, the equipment is only one part of the equation.

At a site where machinery plays a central role in moving material and keeping trucks flowing, downtime can quickly affect the entire operation. That makes access to service support an important part of the purchasing decision.

Gumley says CDA has given him confidence that the machines will be supported when they need it.

“Customer service and after-sales support have been phenomenal,” he says.

“I haven’t had any issues with that, and communication is really good too.

“There’ve been rare occasions after hours when issues have arisen. I’ve had to make a couple of quick phone calls, and the team picks up the phone and talks you through the problems.

“They get the laptop, do what they need to do, and on one occasion it was rectified within 20 minutes of the phone call. We were back into it.

“We’ve got quite a few machines,

The LiuGong forklift can get through up to 150 bags of sand a day from Wholesale Sand’s Norwell operation

and we can’t afford for them to stop and break down. We need to keep them going.”

CDA operates a wide support network with branches in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, each with a fully equipped workshop, supported by field-service teams.

For CDA representative Wayne Reichow, that infrastructure is an important part of what the company offers its customers.

Responsible for the LiuGong earthmoving range – including excavators, front-end loaders, graders, dump trucks, rollers, forklifts, dozers and material handlers – Reichow has worked in earthmoving equipment sales for 19 years.

“Support after the sale is a critical consideration for equipment buyers,” Reichow says.

“Hand on heart, CDA provides that with excellence. That’s what customers are looking for. That’s what we provide.”

CDA’s relationship with Wholesale Sands began with the forklift and subsequently developed through the dozer demonstration.

“I’ve known Geoff for a while now,” Reichow says.

“The first machine they purchased from me was the all-terrain forklift.

“Geoff came into the yard, and I introduced him to everyone in the workshop, as well as our after-sales team, branch manager and parts manager.

“Geoff then bought the LiuGong forklift for the sand-bagging section of the business and absolutely loved it.

“We then started talking about dozers because they already owned two other brands. We went out on site, had a look at them working, and had a good discussion about the LiuGong LD26D, which was a step up in size from what they had.

“We then progressed to a demonstration with Geoff for a week. CDA is more than happy to let customers test these machines out for themselves.

“Geoff had the dozer on site for a

week, and it performed so well that he purchased the machine.”

For Gumley, Reichow’s approach has been as important as the machines themselves.

“Wayne is a local boy from the area, and we met over at Norwell. We just clicked,” he says.

“His communication was good.

You get some people who just keep handing you information, but Wayne knows when to talk and when to give you time.

“When you’ve got questions or you’re not sure about a machine, he’ll touch base on everything.

“He’s easy to deal with and easy to communicate with. There’s not a time when he hasn’t picked up the phone, and if he hasn’t, it’s within 15 or 20 minutes, and I’ll have a return call or message letting me know what’s going on.

“I’ve got a lot of time for him, and I’m sure we’re going to be mates for a long time.”

Moving forward The relationship gives Wholesale Sands access to a LiuGong range that extends well beyond the three machines currently in its fleet.

The breadth of LiuGong earthmoving equipment provides operators with the opportunity to consolidate machinery across multiple categories through one manufacturer and dealer relationship.

LiuGong is also expanding its electric equipment offering, with electric machines available across a growing selection of categories.

For contractors and materialhandling businesses looking to reduce emissions, noise or fuel use in appropriate applications, the ability to introduce electric equipment into the same broader machine range provides another option.

At Wholesale Sands, however, the immediate focus is on the 870T. The loader now has to demonstrate that it can handle the variety of jobs required at Norwell, just as the LD26D had to show its value at Jacob’s Well, and the CLG2035H-R had to prove itself around the bagging operation.

That gradual approach is consistent with the way Wholesale Sands has built its relationship with LiuGong and CDA. There has been no wholesale fleet replacement and no single-machine decision made in isolation. Instead, each machine has been given a job, put to work, and assessed on its ability to deliver.

But Gumley reckons the experience so far has created enough confidence to look at what could come next.

“I’m confident it’s going to be like this for the next lot of machinery we go through with them,” he says.

“I trust the guys and the machines to do the job and do it confidently.

“They’re definitely pointing us in the right direction, and we’re going to lead the way with the LiuGong fleet as it grows.”

The Anaconda FTR conveyor range can be converted into screens to classify material and remove oversize

Customisable conveyors The Anaconda FTR series of mobile conveyors from Onetrak are variable speed conveyors designed to be heavy-duty and flexible enough to handle a wide variety of material.

Having been on the market for around 15 years, these conveyors are well established in the market and used across industries as diverse as mining, recycling, road works, material handling and any other situation requiring screening, conveying and stockpiling.

“They’re a versatile range of equipment,” Onetrak general manager – sales Sam Powell says.

“The FTR range is designed to take big bellyfuls of material from a wheel loader, compared to a standard stacker conveyor, which is designed to receive a continual feed of material.

“This frees up your wheel loader to move on with another job rather than sitting there and feeding a conveyor.

“Using a wheel loader to move material around a site can cost from $2 a tonne upwards, whereas a stacker conveyor might cost you 20 cents a tonne to move the

same material, so using an FTR makes your operation significantly more efficient.”

Three options With three models offering 10m (FTR100), 15m (FTR150) and 20m (FTR200) of reach, these conveyors can be modified to suit various applications, even on the one site.

Suitable for stockpiling, hopper feeding or as a standalone transfer system, the FTR range can convey materials including rock, concrete, waste, wood chips, sand, gravel, coal and mulch.

They can also be used to screen oversize through the addition of a double deck vibrating grid to scalp off materials. An overband magnet can be fitted for magnetic debris separation, allowing for a cleaner stockpiled product.

“What sets the FTR range apart from other feeder loader hoppers is the range of equipment that can sit on top of the hopper itself,” Powell says.

“You can have a set of flared and straight extensions, taking it up a

maximum 13 cubic metre capacity bin. That’s enough to take two full buckets from a quarry loader.

“You can also have a tipping grid, which acts like a rough screen, so it’ll keep oversized objects out of your material flow.

“In addition to that, we can run a vibrating screen and a mesh underscreen, which gives you a way of classifying material to ensure everything that goes onto your discharge conveyor is a classified product.”

Key features of all three models include hydraulic jacking legs for easy setup, a hydraulic folding head section, easy access to the engine compartment, fast 15-minute setup and the ability to handle heavy duty and high-torque applications.

The 63kW (84hp) JCB 444 Dieselmax Tier 3 engine used for all three conveyor models gives the capacity to handle up to 700 tonnes per hour, with a standard six cubic metre hopper capacity and a maximum feed size of 200mm.

Hydraulic height adjustment gives operators the ability to control the

All three models in the FTR range can be deployed and ready to work in 15 minutes

“Time is money, and once you’ve got a job, people aren’t waiting for six months just for you to get your plant,” Powell says.

discharge, whether for low height discharge to manage dust and spillage or higher discharge heights for larger stockpiling.

The FTR100 has a maximum discharge height of 3,970mm, extending to 6,350mm for the FTR150 and 8,770mm for the FTR200 conveyor.

Swiss Army knife As the three different FTR models use the same bins, the attachments are interchangeable, which Powell says gives contractors significant flexibility as to what they can use the conveyors for.

Even on the same site, he says operators can mix and match between units depending on what sort of stop point, height or transfer requirement is in place.

“For someone like a civil constructor, they would use it in place of a sieve bucket or a shaking bucket,” he says.

“It will extract the rock out of soil far more efficiently than a shaker bucket will, saving time and fuel.

“Recyclers use them to create a classified product, extracting value from a waste stream that can be unpredictable.

“In quarries they need to create a classified product, whether it’s sand, gravel or rock. It can be used as a screen or they might want to use it to provide a consistent feed of material to their secondary crushers. Cone crushers or a vertical shaft impact crusher likes a consistent feed, so an FTR provides that to the plant.”

They can also be used to blend

46

material back into a fixed plant – an application that he says is relevant currently in gold mining as gold ore is at a premium.

“It’s commercially viable to add lower grade stockpiles into the mill feed,” Powell says. “Therefore, this is a solution that can be rapidly deployed to suit that fluctuating and volatile marketplace. You can get it on the ground quickly and be up and running within 15 minutes of being on site.”

A key advantage of the Anaconda FTR range is this speed of deployment, when compared to building fixed plant. No civil, structural or electrical engineering and sign off is required.

For transport all three conveyors have tracks for easy repositioning around a site and can be transported between sites easily.

Easy maintenance With a service-friendly design, all daily checks are done at ground level so personnel don’t have to climb up onto the machine.

Powell adds that the controls are simple to understand and the variable feed options give greater control over the feeder and discharge belt.

“The engine bay fully opens both sides, so you have complete access to your motor and pumps from both sides of the plant,” he says.

“This gives good access for your daily pre-starts, checking oil, air filters, coolant, etc, as well as ample access to all your key components – pumps, engine, turbo, filters, whatever you need to do.”

CJD Equipment led a customer visit to Volvo HQ in Sweden recently

Electric evolution Having worked for CJD Equipment for nearly 15 years, Grayden Leaver is now in the role of executive general manager for construction, taking a lead on sales, as well as parts, service and administration of the construction machinery line of Volvo machinery across Australia.

With Volvo having released several new machinery lines over the past year and continuing to build on its alternative fuel program, Leaver says it’s a period of significant change for the industry. However, it’s also one that offers opportunities for great efficiency gains and cost saving.

CJD Equipment executive general manager construction Grayden Leaver

“Over the last two to three years, what’s made Volvo stand out is the leadership position that they’ve taken around sustainability,” he says.

“They have publicly announced targets and timelines and have been very proactive in partnering with a number of businesses around the world, be that batteries – so supply, usage and disposal – or hydrogen fuel cell development.

“This means that there’s a product range and ongoing development in a lot of areas that is interesting to a lot of our customers.

“In Australia the market in general is probably not as developed as Europe is in terms of their pathway down that whole sustainability journey, but moving forward Volvo is really standing out in that space.”

With new Volvo machinery releases expected this year and a developing market around electrification and site analytics, CJD Equipment is at the forefront of an evolving construction market. Here we speak with CJD Equipment executive general manager construction Grayden Leaver about current challenges and opportunities for machinery buyers across Australia

Electric options CJD Equipment has been offering a couple of electric machines from Volvo in recent years, including the 1.8-tonne ECR18 Electric and 2.5-tonne ECR25

Electric mini excavators and the 4.9-tonne JL25 Electric compact wheel loader.

Leaver says that these have been a good starting point to introduce electric machinery to different aspects of the industry, with many businesses beginning to explore the opportunities that electric machinery could offer in their operations.

By bringing these Volvo machines into Australia, he says that CJD Equipment is playing a key role in helping construction, mining, waste management, quarrying and other heavy industries understand how electric alternatives could fit into their workflows.

“The sales volumes aren’t large at the moment, but in specific markets, electric machinery really fits the bill,” he says.

“Outside of those specific markets, we frequently have conversations with our customers around where e-mobility is going, and we’re seen

as being a trusted source within the industry as that area develops.

We are playing a part in helping to give our customers a greater understanding of the different directions they could go in and the opportunities out there.

“Late last year we launched the electric L120 Electric loader and there’s been lot of interest around that. I think the larger the machinery gets, the more applicable to electric it can be. We’ve now put out our first handful of electric L120s into different applications, so it still comes down to the right fit for the right customer at the right time.

“There are definitely some Australian customers that are leading the way and being very proactive in moving into that space, whereas others are still working out what that may look like for them in the future. There isn’t a one size fits all answer. Our job is to partner with our customers to work through what they want to achieve, the

challenges that will come with it, and what we can do collectively to solve those problems.”

Market challenges With diesel prices having been volatile over the past year, fuel costs have been an ever-present pressure for machinery owners.

This is prompting many business owners to consider electric machinery from a total cost of ownership perspective, Leaver says, but it is just one part of the equation when running a business.

For fixed sites in particular, such as mines and quarries, a major focus is how they can measure site production, improve machine efficiency and maximise profits through using data analysis.

CJD Equipment uses Volvo’s Site Solutions software to provide its customers with data and insights from across the business, to help identify areas where productivity gains can be achieved.

Electric machinery is part of Volvo’s evolving offering

The tour of Volvo’s facilities gave customers the opportunity to test machinery and gain insights into upcoming releases

“Volvo Site Solutions gives our customers the data they need to be safer, more efficient and more productive,” Leaver says.

“It gives them live data so they can map their sites. They can integrate incoming road trucks so they know when these are going to arrive. They can track all of their loaders and see what they are doing. From an administrative point of view it’s a significant benefit.

“It goes beyond just picking things up and putting things down and moving materials from one place to the other. The challenge is how do we help our customers make their businesses more efficient.

“We’re seeing a much larger call for technology and software offerings to achieve this, particularly in mining and quarrying, but increasingly in waste and recycling as well. We’re also seeing greater demand for fleet management and site visibility in agriculture.”

Hands on Earlier this year CJD Equipment took several of its Australian customers to Volvo’s facilities in Sweden to showcase the full range of machinery on

50

offer, and get a glimpse of what is in the development pipeline.

Leaver says this is a fantastic opportunity for CJD customers to get in machines they may not have seen before and have a demonstration of their capabilities.

“We go to Volvo’s articulated hauler factory and have the opportunity to use the demonstration tracks and trial all the machines,” he says.

“We tour Volvo’s engine and wheel loader factories, and we have a day in Eskilstuna at the customer centre, which provides the opportunity for everybody to operate any machine that Volvo has as well as showcase soft offerings, new products, and so on.

“New products shown this year for our market were the electric L120 and electric L90. They highlighted the electric A30 and A40 haulers for the first time and were available to test, and we also saw the new compact excavator products.

“As Volvo had such a big launch here over the last 12 months with the F series excavators, the K series loaders, and the J series haulers, it was a good opportunity to be able to see all of those and try them out in

the same place. It really was a good wrap up of the previous 12 months.”

The next Volvo release to reach Australia will be the EC230 20-tonne electric excavator, which should be available to customers by the end of the year. The new compact excavator lineup may also be making an appearance in the first quarter of next year.

“We’re having a lot of discussions around the new haulers because production is limited, so we can’t stock them at the moment, but they are potentially available for customers in Australia,” Leaver says.

“Then it’s just the finishing touches, mostly on the K series loaders at the smaller end. There will be a staggered release over the next six months, although the larger K series models are already available in Australia.”

Next steps Looking back over the previous year, it’s been a busy time for both Volvo and CJD Equipment, with Leaver saying the delivery of CJD Equipment’s first electric loader – the L120 – being a standout milestone for the business earlier this year.

The upcoming release of the

Leaver says CJD Equipment’s ‘can do’ approach is key for its customer relatioships

electric EC230 excavator and new compact excavator range will also be exciting additions to the lineup.

Leaver also points to recent success by a team of CJD Equipment technicians that are competing this month at the Volvo Masters Challenge in Eskilstuna in Sweden.

“We won the Volvo Masters Challenge for our region, and our team from Queensland will be competing at the world final,” he says.

“That’s really pleasing to have a group of guys that have worked really, really hard to get themselves through the qualifying rounds and get a chance to compete against the world’s best.”

He highlights this as being an example of how CJD Equipment is investing in its next generation of technicians and service staff.

“Apprentices are a very important part of what we do,” he says.

“What’s equally important is having

experienced management teams in your service departments and technicians on your floor and in the field that want to take on apprentices and buy into their development.

“It’s our people that that help us stand out. That’s certainly been part of the reason I’ve been here for 15 years.

“There’s very much a ‘can do’ approach, and the feedback we get from our customers is that they genuinely feel connected to us.

They’re not just a number within our network.

“Our branch network is strong and

we’re continuing to develop that as well. We want to make it easier for customers to be able to get to us and speak to us, and for us to get to them.

We want to be the partner of choice for our customers and continuously develop those relationships.

“Our people care about what they do and who they work for, so the fact that they’re proud of what we represent and proud for who they work for goes a long way.”

Hercules T85 tracked loader with 2.5m rake

Unveiled earlier this year, Hercules Machinery Group’s (HMG) new wheeled excavator and compact tracked loaders have been met with high demand.

The Queensland-based business added the T85 and T100 compact tracked loaders, which have been snapped up by an eager customer base.

This success comes as HMG diversifies its range of earthmoving equipment.

HMG General Manager Steven Ragenovich says customers get the full package of what they are looking for in a tracked loader for a price that won’t break the bank.

“They’ve got all the components; they tick all the boxes,” he says.

“They have high flow hydraulics, quick hitch equipped, air suspension seat, a genuine Kubota engine, coupled with Danfoss drive motors.

“These are for people that want to buy a tracked loader, but they don’t want to pay a king’s ransom for it.”

Compact and reliable The T100s and T85s compact tracked loaders are designed to access tight spaces and pack a punch in terms of power while offering a solution for a variety of needs, whether it be on a farm or construction site.

The 4.5-tonne HMG T85 features an 85hp (63kW) Kubota engine with a 1.1-tonne rated operating load and the 5.4-tonne T100 boasts a 100hp

(75kW) Kubota engine and offers a rated operating load of 1.5 tonnes.

Each have a certified ROPS/FOPS cabin, which is enclosed, with air conditioning and an electric suspension seat for comfort during the toughest of jobs.

Both models have a hydraulic quick hitch for effortless quick attach and detach.

For Ragenovich, the reception to the track loaders has been definitive.

“The feedback has been all positive, because they’ve sold out,” he says.

More autonomy, more control Fear not, more tracked loaders will be available soon to join a brand-new line up of HMG excavators.

Komatsu’s hybrid system captures energy generated during machinery operation

Hybrid option Rising fuel costs are putting renewed pressure on Australia’s construction industry, with Komatsu Australia saying fuel efficiency of heavy equipment is an increasingly important consideration for contractors looking to control operating costs.

Recent ABS data from the June 2026 Business Conditions and Sentiments survey shows 85 per cent of construction businesses were negatively impacted by fuel prices or availability, while 87 per cent of those reporting increased operating

expenses cited fuel prices as a contributing factor.

Komatsu Australia national business manager for construction Mark Boyes says the current environment is putting a renewed focus on hybrid excavators – a technology the company has been developing for almost two decades.

Komatsu introduced the world’s first commercially available hybrid hydraulic excavator in 2008 in response to rising fuel prices, and today its hybrid

Volatile fuel prices have put hybrid excavators in the spotlight as a cost-saving solution

technology still provides contractors with a proven way to reduce fuel consumption and emissions without compromising productivity.

“When fuel prices rise, even relatively small improvements in fuel efficiency can make a difference to the bottom line,” Boyes says.

“Hybrid technology takes that a step further because it allows us to recover energy that would otherwise be lost and put it back to work.

“Customers can reduce fuel consumption while maintaining, and in some applications increase, the productivity and performance they expect from their excavator.”

Komatsu Australia highlights how rising fuel costs are putting hybrid excavators back in focus

How it works Komatsu’s hybrid system captures energy generated as the excavator’s upper structure decelerates during slewing, converting it into electricity and storing it in an ultra-capacitor. The recovered energy is then used to assist the machine during operation, reducing demand on the diesel engine.

Applications involving frequent, repetitive slewing therefore provide more opportunities to recover and reuse energy.

“If you’re working a stockpile and

loading trucks, you’re continually digging, slewing, unloading and slewing back again,” Boyes says.

“That repetitive cycle is exactly where hybrid technology can come into its own. The more opportunities the machine has to recover energy through the slew cycle, the greater the potential benefit.”

Divall’s Earthmoving Komatsu customer Andy Divall, co-director of Goulburn-based civil contractor Divall’s Earthmoving, has experienced those benefits firsthand.

He purchased Komatsu’s first hybrid excavator in Australia in 2008 and has continued to use hybrid machines within his fleet, particularly for crushing applications.

“A standard excavator might burn around 16 litres of fuel an hour, while the hybrid can do the same work on around eight litres,” Andy says.

“That’s about a 50 per cent reduction in fuel burn in the right application, which is a massive saving for us.”

Komatsu’s hybrid excavator range includes the 23-tonne HB215LC-3 and the 38-tonne HB365LC-3, both

designed to deliver fuel savings while maintaining the reliability, productivity and quality of build expected from Komatsu excavators.

“There’s no single fuel-saving figure that applies to every worksite, but when a hybrid is working in an application that plays to the strengths of the technology, the savings can be substantial,” Boyle says.

“That’s what makes understanding the customer’s operation so important. It’s about putting the right machine into the right application and helping them get the greatest possible return from the technology.”

While the construction industry’s focus on lower-emission machinery

continues to grow, Boyle says the immediate economic case for hybrid equipment is equally important.

“With fuel costs putting pressure on contractors, we’re encouraging our customers to consider where hybrid excavators could fit within a fleet and deliver meaningful savings.

“For the right application, you’re using less fuel to get the same job done, and that’s good for both the customer’s bottom line and their emissions.”

Innovation in practice

JF Machinery owner Keith Johnstone has been selling JCB equipment in Tasmania for decades

As JF Machinery approaches its 30th birthday next February, the Tasmanian dealership stands as a testament to what persistence, service and smart partnerships can achieve in a small but fiercely industrious state.

What began in 1997 as a modest used equipment venture co-founded

by Keith Johnstone has grown into a two-branch operation in Launceston and Hobart, employing 24 staff and supplying JCB machinery since 1999.

Three decades on, Johnstone reflects on a market that has never been simple, but is always been rewarding.

“Tasmania might be small, but it’s incredibly diverse,” he says.

“Agriculture, hard rock mining, quarrying, construction – they all demand reliable machinery, and we’ve built our business around supporting that.”

Service has long been the heartbeat of JF Machinery.

“We’re heavily service orientated, with nine field servicemen out on the road,” Johnstone says.

“And with more than two million

58

dollars of JCB parts across our Launceston and Hobart operations, we’re equipped to keep machines working when customers need them most.”

Over the past 15 years, the dealership has evolved its offering to match Tasmania’s shifting landscape, moving to a balanced 50/50 mix of agricultural and construction machinery. The result is a business that feels deeply tuned to the needs of the state it serves.

Leader in telehandlers While wheel loaders and mini excavators continue to perform strongly across quarrying, mining and general earthworks, two JCB staples have become standout favourites: telehandlers and backhoe loaders.

Telehandlers, in particular, have a story worth celebrating. Introducing them in the 1980s was a bold move says Johnstone, and not an easy one.

“JCB is number one in telehandler sales, and in Tasmania we’ve developed that from nothing,” Johnstone says.

“It took decades to build

momentum, but today it’s one of our prime products.”

Part of that success comes from the machine’s versatility.

“It’s a general purpose machine – a rough terrain forklift and a lightweight wheel loader in one.

As people discovered new uses, demand grew across construction, agriculture and underground mining,” he says.

The telehandler’s reach extends far beyond Tasmania, with units being used in Antarctica since 1985.

“Right now, 13 JCB telehandlers are operating on Australian bases there,” Johnstone says.

“We’re seeing more government departments and councils adopting them for all sorts of applications.

“We have an extensive range, from two-tonne right through to six-tonne in lift capacity. We’ve sold over 400 telehandlers in Tasmania, so we dominate that space.”

With decades of experience in the construction machinery market, JF Machinery owner Keith Johnstone gives his insights into why JCB continues to be a leader in the field

Staying at the forefront In a competitive market – and a compact state – standing out requires more than good service. It requires

Johnstone says JCB backloaders such as the 3CX Pro stand out for their speed, comfort and control

machinery that leads from the front.

Johnstone says JCB’s long term success in Australia comes down to one thing: innovation.

“JCB has always been recognised for being a leader,” he says.

“They invented the backhoe loader in the 1950s and were the first to build a four-wheel drive machine with a dedicated chassis rather than a tractor base.”

That pioneering spirit continues today. Modern JCB backhoe loaders offer features not found in competing machines – from cruise control and dual drive to the ability to operate the machine in reverse from a dedicated driving position.

For Tasmanian councils and government customers, the JCB 3CX Pro and JCB 5CX stand out for their speed, comfort, ride control, cruise control, auto shift transmissions

and advanced hydraulics. One of the biggest developments on the horizon is JCB’s plan to build a dedicated parts warehouse in Melbourne – a move Johnstone says will be transformative for Tasmanian customers.

“Having an Australian parts centre based in Melbourne is a substantial benefit,” he says.

“It means overnight service to both

our Hobart and Launceston facilities.

That’s huge.”

For a dealership built on service, this is more than convenience – it’s a competitive edge.

Evolution in action Growing Allyship in Action momentum shifts workplace culture The strong momentum generated during the recent Industry Challenge phase of NAWIC’s Allyship in Action shows how turning intention into action supports culture change with 65 organisations taking part and 2,600 people enrolled.

The three-month challenge, finishing on 23 July, invited organisations across Australia’s construction and built environment sector to complete the program’s online Male Allies Training and demonstrate leadership in building safer, more respectful and inclusive workplaces.

The online training is part of NAWIC’s three-year, $5 million Allyship in Action: Transforming Culture to Attract and Retain Women project. Funded by the Australian Government’s Building Women’s Careers Program, the project is being delivered in partnership with ADCO Constructions, CPB Contractors, the Australian Workers’ Union and Holmesglen Institute.

Congratulations to the challenge winner Freecity Construction! They achieved 100 per cent completion within the first six weeks of the challenge after enrolling their entire construction team. Laing O’Rourke Australia, Duratec, Mott MacDonald and our project partners CPB Contractors and ADCO Constructions were also among the organisations with the highest number of completions.

The Allyship in Action project includes Male Allies Onsite Training, which trains trade-based workers in Allyship practices, the Ambassador Program that aims to train change agents across all genders to model inclusive workplace standards, and

the Sponsorship Program that pairs high-potential women with senior leaders who actively advocate for participants progression into leadership.

Culture change in construction isn’t a women’s issue, it’s a sector issue, and requires everyone, including men, to step up. The challenge isn’t just finding workers for an industry facing a skills shortage, it’s about building workplaces that are fair, inclusive and respectful, where talented people from all backgrounds want to stay.

Women currently make up less than 13 per cent of Australia’s construction workforce, with only around three per cent working on the tools, a huge and currently untapped resource. Allyship in Action is designed to close that gap by engaging men as active participants in driving cultural change.

Allyship in Action senior project manager Greg Belle says this project is one of the most significant government investments in construction culture change globally, and it’s built on evidence, not aspiration.

“Male allyship isn’t complicated – it’s small things done consistently by the majority who have the power to shift the culture,” he says.

“This isn’t about blame – it’s about awareness, accountability and lifting the standard. The barriers

women face range from everyday assumptions and behaviour through to systemic issues that limit opportunity and progression.

“The training provides real life scenarios to unpack what the data shows and what women working on site actually experience.

“It explores how workplace culture directly impacts safety, wellbeing, performance and retention and why getting it right matters for everyone in the workplace.”

Participants are telling us that they find the Male Allies Training course to be insightful and helpful through the provision of practical, evidencebased tools to handle real workplace situations with confidence, helping them speak up early, respond to inappropriate behaviour, and set the standard on site and within their teams.

Join our Allyship In Action project as we break down barriers, challenge outdated attitudes and create more opportunities for women. Learn more and register at www.nawic.com.au

Parts supply expansion UKW Spares joins ITR Group, opening a new chapter for customers UKW Spares has officially joined the USCO ITR Group following the successful completion of its acquisition by ITR on 1 June 2026, marking an exciting new chapter for the Australian aftermarket parts specialist.

For UKW, the acquisition is an opportunity to build on almost three decades of specialist experience while giving customers access to a significantly broader range of products, greater resources and the global capabilities of one of the world’s largest aftermarket earthmoving parts groups.

The USCO ITR Group has more than 35 years of experience in the OEM and aftermarket earthmoving components industry. Today, the group operates 16 production centres and 93 distribution centres, employs more than 2,500 people and serves customers across 174 countries.

Its global manufacturing and

62

distribution network provides access to extensive product development, manufacturing, logistics and technical capabilities.

For UKW, becoming part of this global network creates opportunities to offer customers more, without losing the specialist knowledge and customer focus that have defined the business.

Specialist support Established in 1996, UKW Spares has built its reputation as an Australian specialist supplier of new, used and remanufactured machinery components, with a particular focus on Komatsu and Hitachi equipment.

The business currently holds more than 22,000 parts and has developed extensive knowledge across earthmoving machinery and its components.

A key part of UKW’s offering is its dedicated dismantling operation.

The business has dismantled and recycled more than 300 machines, with its workshop continually sourcing late-model machines to maintain a strong and up-to-date inventory of used components.

This specialist dismantling capability provides customers with another option when sourcing parts, alongside new, rebuilt, reconditioned and service-exchange components.

That combination of specialist parts knowledge, dismantling expertise and a broad inventory is now being complemented by ITR’s extensive aftermarket portfolio.

Through the wider ITR Group, UKW customers will have access to products including undercarriage components, rubber tracks and pads, ground engaging tools, final drives, engine parts, hydraulic and transmission components, attachments, tyres and other machinery solutions.

For customers, this means more choice from a single supplier.

For UKW, it means the ability to support existing Komatsu and Hitachi customers across a much broader range of their machinery requirements.

Boost for customers The acquisition also provides UKW with access to ITR Pacific’s established Australian footprint, with branches in Brisbane, Mackay, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Kalgoorlie, supported by local stock, industry specialists and national freight capabilities.

Just as importantly, UKW can now draw on the global ITR supply network when customers

require specialist or less common components. The combination of local inventory and international manufacturing and distribution provides greater flexibility in sourcing parts and supporting equipment uptime.

While the business has changed ownership, UKW’s specialist knowledge of Komatsu and Hitachi machinery remains at the heart of what it does. Joining ITR is not about moving away from that expertise; it is about giving UKW the scale, product depth and resources to build on it.

For UKW Spares, this acquisition represents the next stage in the evolution of the business. By combining UKW’s specialist aftermarket and dismantling

expertise with ITR’s global manufacturing capabilities, extensive product range and Australian distribution network, customers can look forward to more parts, more options and greater access to support.

In an industry where downtime can have a significant impact on productivity, reliable access to the right parts matters. As part of the ITR Group, UKW Spares is better positioned than ever to help Australian earthmoving operators, contractors, workshops and fleet owners keep their machines working.

More companies are joining Converge Expo – the meeting place for industry

Converge building lineup Converge Expo is pleased to announce Genesis Equipment as a Gold Sponsor for the 2027 event.

Taking place on 15–16 September 2027 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, Converge Expo brings together the full civil and commercial construction industry to explore the technologies, solutions and innovations helping deliver smarter, more efficient projects.

Genesis Equipment specialises in innovative parking solutions, including car stackers and parking lifts that help maximise space in commercial, residential and mixeduse developments. By joining Converge Expo, Genesis will showcase how early collaboration between suppliers, designers and project teams can unlock new opportunities for challenging sites where space is at a premium.

“By the time someone rings us about a parking lift, the slab’s poured and the ceiling height is fixed. Half the time we’re the ones telling them it

64

won’t fit. Converge gets us in the room with the engineers and architects while the drawings are still open, and that’s worth more to everyone than a phone call after the fact,” Genesis Equipment general manager Steve Clifford says.

“Genesis Equipment represents the type of innovative supplier that Converge was created to connect with the industry,” Prime Creative Media head of marketing – events Molly Hancock says.

“Bringing solution providers together with the people making key project decisions early in the design process helps drive better outcomes across the entire construction lifecycle.”

With urban density continuing to increase and project teams facing greater pressure to maximise available space, Genesis Equipment believes early engagement is critical to delivering effective parking solutions.

“We’re bringing car stackers and parking lifts to a room full of people

who are short on floor area. If the site won’t give you another square metre, the only place left to go is up. That’s the conversation we want to have at Converge,” Clifford says.

Converge Expo provides a platform for industry leaders to discover new products, build valuable connections and address the challenges impacting project delivery across Australia’s construction sector.

“Genesis Equipment is proud to be a Gold Sponsor of Converge 2027,” Clifford says.

“If you’re designing parking into a commercial or mixed-use build, come and have a chat before the concrete goes down.”

The partnership highlights Converge Expo’s focus on bringing together the people, products and ideas driving the next generation of construction.

Skills challenges give apprentices and trainees an opportunity to test themselves beyond the workplace or classroom.

Learn from the best Why benchmarking matters to Australia’ skilled workforce Australia talks a lot about the number of skilled workers we need. And for good reason.

The infrastructure pipeline ahead of us is significant, and the pressure on our skilled workforce is well understood. Infrastructure Australia estimates the current shortage across the infrastructure workforce at 141,000 people, with that gap potentially growing beyond 300,000 by 2027.

Growing the pipeline has to remain a priority, but there is another question worth asking alongside it.

How do we know the skills we are developing are keeping pace with the best in the world?

For industries that rely on technical capability, productivity, precision and increasingly sophisticated technology, workforce development cannot only be a numbers exercise.

Capability matters too. The definition of a highly skilled tradesperson continues to evolve.

New technology, automation, digital tools, changing construction methods and the transition to loweremissions industries are changing the way work is done.

What represented best practice 10 years ago will not necessarily represent best practice 10 years from now.

That is why benchmarking matters.

Benchmarking is not about proving that one country, training system or worker is better than another. At its best, it gives us a reference point.

It allows us to ask what excellence looks like today, where the standard is heading, and what we can learn from others.

That principle sits at the heart of WorldSkills.

Every two years, young skilled professionals from around the

66

Trevor Schwenke, CEO, WorldSkills Australia.

world come together for the WorldSkills Competition. Behind the competition itself sits a much broader international network of educators, industry experts and training systems.

Importantly, competitors are assessed against WorldSkills Occupational Standards, which define what a capable practitioner should know, understand and be able to do. Those standards are developed with technical experts, informed by industry and business globally, and regularly reviewed as occupations evolve.

Competition gives us something valuable: a practical international benchmark for skills excellence.

This September, 37 young Australians will travel to Shanghai to represent Australia in 33 skills at the 48th WorldSkills International Competition.

They will join more than 1,400 competitors from over 70 countries and regions, competing across 64 skills.

Of course, we want our Skillaroos to perform well, but medals are only one measure of success.

The bigger opportunity is having Australian competitors, Experts and training professionals working alongside some of the best young skilled people and technical minds from around the world.

They get to see different methods, different technologies, different

approaches to training, preparation and problem solving.

Importantly, they get to bring that knowledge home. That exchange matters because a benchmark only creates value when we use it.

The real opportunity from an international competition is not simply understanding where Australia sits on a medal table. It is taking what we learn and feeding it back into our own skills ecosystem, through educators, employers, training, future competitors and the people who develop the next generation of skilled Australians.

We see the same principle throughout the WorldSkills pathway here at home.

Regional competitions give apprentices and trainees an opportunity to test themselves beyond the workplace or classroom.

Our National Championships bring together some of Australia’s strongest young talent and the industry experts who support them.

And international competition takes that comparison another step further.

At every level, the question is similar: what does excellent look like, and how can we get better?

That mindset feels particularly important right now.

Australia needs more skilled people. But alongside increasing participation, we should keep challenging ourselves on the capability we are developing.

Because meeting our future infrastructure, housing, energy and industry ambitions will depend on more than filling vacancies.

It will depend on people who can work confidently with changing technology, solve increasingly complex problems and deliver their skills to a high standard.

The benchmark will keep moving.

Our challenge is to keep moving with it.

Event news

Plenty to see

Big crowds attended all three days of this year’s AgQuip

Excavators, wheel loaders and skid steers – along with attachments – were just some of the machinery types that sat alongside tractors and combine harvesters at AgQuip Field Days recently.

Held at a dedicated site near Gunnedah in New South Wales, AgQuip was first held in 1973 and attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year.

Earthmovers & Excavators was on site this year to check out some of the machinery highlights.

AIE Group Australian International Equipment Group has built its reputation for offering high-quality equipment and attachments, both new and

low-hour used, to farmers and construction businesses.

A 2024 Kubota SVL 75-3 track loader was one example of a machine which AIEG brought to AgQuip, alongside Caterpillar machinery that forms a major part of its offering.

In addition to machinery, AIEG also did a roaring trade in its branded footballs, which have become an annual tradition and raises about $10,000 each year for the Westpac rescue helicopter service.

SANY This was the first AgQuip where CEA – the new SANY distributor – was able to showcase the manufacturer’s products. One machine that caught the eye was the SY35U mini excavator,

Roo Attachments business development manager Rob Price

which has a 3,105mm maximum digging depth.

It boasts a fully enclosed cabin to make it comfortable in all conditions, a zero tail swing design to increase safety, plus high breakout forces to handle demanding work in some of Australia’s toughest conditions.

CEA took over as SANY’s excavator dealer for New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia this year, while telehandlers are another important part of the manufacturer’s range.

Agriculture and construction have many machinery crossovers, so it was little surprise to see the earthmoving sector heavily represented at last month’s AgQuip

FlipScreen A selection of screening buckets from FlipScreen gave AgQuip visitors an insight into the manufacturer’s depth of product.

Available as an attachment for machines such as skid steers, loaders and excavators, these allow material such as dirt, gravel or fertiliser to be screened and separated on the spot.

This allows clumps to be broken up, with material then cleaned and able to be used again.

As a result, material that was perceived to be unusable can be transformed during a process that saves both money and time.

FlipScreen also works as a bucket, allowing it to handle everyday work, with an extensive selection of sizes enabling all operators to find the perfect model regardless of their machinery type or capacity requirements.

JCB The British manufacturer’s machinery range, which includes telehandlers and skid steers, was represented at AgQuip by dealer Wideland Group.

Wideland’s managing director Andrew Kibble says much of the machinery which it showcased at the event has appeal to both the farming and construction industries.

“We sell the telehandlers to feed lotters and grain farmers – they’re just so versatile for people feeding on farm to those in the construction industry,” he says.

“We also sell a lot of skid steers because their safety is second to none compared to other skid steers with their side door, which means you’re not jumping over buckets.

“The safety aspect of the skid steers has been a big game changer for us.”

Merlo Telehandler manufacturer Merlo had a strong presence at AgQuip thanks to local dealer National Ag Solutions.

Among the machines on

display was the TF42.7, a mediumcapacity telehandler within the Turbofarmer range.

Manufactured in Italy, the TF42.7 has a 4,000kg maximum lift capacity, 7m maximum lift height and 3.8m maximum reach.

Powered by a 105hp (78kW) engine, it is a telehandler which has been proven ideal for materials handling, with National Ag customers often using it for grain and fertiliser handling.

Roo Attachments With a strong footprint in both Australian construction and agriculture, it was little surprise to see Roo Attachments in a prominent site at AgQuip.

Its range of post rammers again proved popular after selling out at AgQuip last year, while interest in its entire range kept the team busy during the three days.

“We’ve got a full range of everything from excavators, skid steers, tractors and more, from post rammers to stick rakes, pallet forks, grabs – everything you need,” business development manager Rob Price says.

LiuGong Already backed by an international design award, LiuGong’s T Series

wheel loaders have proven popular since entering the Australian market.

One of these models – the 856T – soared into the sky at AgQuip as its 3.5 cubic metre capacity bucket was on full display.

Complemented by a 220hp (164kW) Cummins L9 engine and 9,300kg rated load capacity, this is a wheel loader with serious capability for both construction buyers and farmers.

A comfortable, ergonomic cabin with multi-adjustable armrest and joystick make it an easy machine to operate, with LiuGong wheel loaders proven to be ideal for materials handling in various forms.

Lovol It is hard for a 22-tonne excavator to not catch the eye, but size alone was not the only reason why Lovol’s FR220F stood out.

Its Cummins engine produces 178hp (133kW) and the 1.1 cubic metre bucket means it can handle big job.

A luxury cabin is sealed and airconditioned, while modern design and features make this a reliable unit for demanding environments.

A Doosan hydraulic system with pilot oil operated joysticks for precise control is just one standout, along with hydraulic quick hitch, tilting hitch and anti-drop valves.

Record smashed

JCB Hydromax team celebrate 406.320 mph world land speed record with the Bamford family. Image: JCB

JCB has achieved record speeds with its hydrogen-powered car JCB has set a new world land speed record of 406.320 mph (653.909 km/h) with its hydrogen-powered JCB Hydromax.

The car recorded the average speed 400.623 mph (644.740 km/h) in its first run this morning across the Bonneville Salt Flats, and 412.135 mph (663.268 km/h) on its second run, giving the average of 406.320 mph – the fastest a hydrogen internal combustion car has ever travelled.

Driven by Wing Commander Andy Green OBE, the twin engined, 32-foot (9.75m) car completed the two runs required under FIA rules – one in each direction within an hour – comfortably beating the previous FIA-officiated hydrogen internal combustion benchmark of 185.5 mph (298.5 km/h) set by the BMW H2R in 2004. The record is subject to official ratification by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the global governing body for motorsport.

In doing so, JCB Hydromax surpassed the 350.092 mph (563.418 km/h) world diesel land speed record set by JCB Dieselmax – also driven by Green, on the same salt, in August 2006. Twenty years on,

70

JCB has beaten its own benchmark with an engine that produces no CO2 at the tailpipe.

The speed also exceeds the 303 mph (487 km/h) hydrogen fuel cell mark – making JCB Hydromax the fastest hydrogen-powered vehicle of any kind in history.

The record – set in the Category A, Group XIV – Class 7 FIA World Flying Record Start Land Speed Record – was set using two of JCB’s own production-based hydrogen digger engines, producing a combined 1,600 bhp (1,193kW) and manufactured at the company’s engine factory in Foston, Derbyshire, UK. They are the same engines now powering JCB machines and equipment rolling off production lines in the UK as part of the company’s £100 million (A$191.18 million) hydrogen program.

JCB chairman Anthony Bamford has led JCB’s hydrogen engine project and came up with the idea of a hydrogen world land speed record bid early last year.

“Twenty years ago we came to Bonneville with JCB Dieselmax and showed what British engineering could do with diesel power,” he says.

“Today we have done it again – this time with engines powered by hydrogen. This record was set by production-based engines, the same engines powering JCB diggers right now. That is the point of JCB Hydromax: it shows hydrogen works, and it works today at the highest level with zero emissions.”

Andy Green adds: “Bonneville is the spiritual home of the world land speed record, and JCB Hydromax has just written itself into that history. The car was terrific – stable, strong and fast. Setting a world land speed record with hydrogen power, 20 years after Dieselmax, is a huge privilege. This record is a huge achievement by a world class team and superb technology.”

JCB engineering director Ryan Ballard, who is leading the project, says: “This record belongs to the engineering team which took a hydrogen digger engine and made it the fastest of its kind on earth.

“This has been an amazing challenge from the outset of the it being set in February last year.

We came here fully prepared, and the car delivered.”

News WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION

Be that girl Western Sydney University has aligned with Tomorrow’s Women in Construction to support young women looking to join the construction industry Western Sydney University has become the first university partner of Tomorrow’s Women in Construction (TWIC), a volunteer-led initiative encouraging young girls to explore careers in the construction and infrastructure sector.

The partnership aims to raise awareness of the wide range of careers available across the construction sector – from planning and design to engineering, project management and construction – including roles supporting major infrastructure projects transforming Western Sydney.

The University’s Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science is supporting the launch of TWIC’s ‘Be That Girl’ in construction campaign, which challenges misconceptions and showcases the career opportunities in construction and infrastructure for women.

As part of the initiative, Year 10 students will have the opportunity to participate in the TWIC 2026 Work Experience Program, gaining firsthand experience as part of a weeklong, supported placement with a leading construction organisation.

Placements are now underway for the first cohort.

Distinguished Professor Brian Falzon, executive dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science, says the partnership reflects the university’s commitment to increasing female participation across STEM, design and the built environment.

“Tomorrow’s Women in Construction is an exciting initiative that aligns closely with our faculty’s commitment to empowering women in STEM and creating pathways

The partnership is promoting construction to young women as a career option.

into industries that are shaping our region,” he says.

“We’re delighted to support hands-on learning opportunities that connect high school students with leading organisations across the sector, helping them build confidence, meet mentors and explore further studies and career opportunities.”

Founded by women working across architecture, engineering, project management and construction, TWIC is challenging misconceptions by connecting high school girls with more female leaders from across the industry.

Through the campaign, students can explore career stories, take a career quiz, hear directly from industry professionals and participate in structured work experience placements with construction and infrastructure organisations.

The initiative comes at a time when Australia’s construction industry is facing growing demand for skilled workers.

Katharina Kister, co-founder of TWIC, and an architect and project manager, says the campaign’s message was simple, ‘You can’t be what you can’t see’.

“Every year, thousands of girls rule out careers in construction, engineering and the built environment long before they understand what those careers actually involve,” she says.

“Through hands-on experience and connecting young women to female mentors in the industry, Tomorrow’s Women in Construction is trying to change that.”

Changes to the Suburban Rail Loop project include the removal of underground station interchange at Box Hill.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Cost savings Vic government announces revised Suburban Rail Loop plan The Victorian government has announced that the Suburban Rail Loop will continue, but with an amended scope that achieves an immediate $1 billion saving and a review to target another $1 billion.

The total estimated investment in SRL is now $33.3 billion.

The government will commission an independent, technical review to target the second $1 billion in savings, with no further contracts awarded until the review is complete.

All current works will continue, but the planned underground station interchanges at Box Hill and Glen Waverley has been dropped in favour of surface transfers.

Other changes include alternative ways to deliver sufficient parking in Glen Waverley.

The government will also not proceed with a second station entrance at Clayton, or pedestrian bridges in Burwood and Cheltenham.

The SRL Community Projects Fund will cease at the completion of the current round and some future precinct works will be scaled back.

From next year the Suburban Rail Loop Authority and its work will be moved into the Victorian Infrastructure Delivery Authority.

“The SRL will be built on time,” Carroll says.

“Today’s changes mean it will be built under budget.”
