In March, Liebherr-Australia commissioned an R 9150 excavator for Mineco – the company’s first Liebherr machine – at the Mount Arthur complex in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales, Australia.
The commissioning of this excavator highlights Liebherr-Australia’s continued growth in the 150-tonne class mining segment in Australia and reinforces the company’s commitment to providing innovative and efficient solutions tailored to the evolving needs of the Australian mining industry. Liebherr-Australia’s Mount Thorley branch will provide Mineco and its new excavator with comprehensive support, ensuring optimal performance and reliability on site.
A reputation for excellence
In recent years, Mineco has grown and expanded its business so that it now has the capacity to provide solutions to its customers that require mining equipment in the 150-tonne class. Steven Arthur, director of Mineco, says that it was Liebherr-Australia’s reputation for providing high-quality products and comprehensive local support as key factors in their decision to install Liebherr equipment in the company’s mining fleet.
“Purchasing the R 9150 for Mineco was an easy decision, driven by our commitment to reliability, efficiency and the future growth of our business. Liebherr’s equipment is top-class in the industry, empowering Mineco to take on challenging projects with confidence,” said Arthur.
Daniel Simone, Liebherr-Australia’s key account manager, said he is excited for what this new partnership and the delivery of this R 9150 means for Liebherr-Australia moving forward.
“We are thrilled to see Mineco invest in Liebherr and look forward to supporting their operations with reliable equipment and expert service from our Mount Thorley branch. This commissioning underscores our position in the smaller class mining segment, and we’re excited about what’s ahead for this partnership in the Hunter Valley.”
Dedicated customer support and local service
Liebherr-Australia prides itself on providing comprehensive customer support and service solutions to ensure maximum uptime and efficiency for its customers. The new R 9150 will be backed by Liebherr-Australia’s Mount Thorley branch, which is strategically located to provide prompt and effective support for mining operations in the Hunter Valley.
“Our Mount Thorley branch is fully equipped with expert technicians, a comprehensive parts inventory and dedicated field service teams to support Mineco’s operations. We are committed to delivering industry-leading service and ensuring our customers get the most from their Liebherr equipment,” said Simone.
“Buying a machine from Liebherr is more than a transaction – it’s an investment in quality and long-term success for Mineco. From the very beginning, working with Daniel and the Liebherr team has been exceptional. Their service, expertise and collaboration have reinforced that this is a lasting partnership built for the future of Mineco,” added Arthur.
