Caterpillar says its updated D10 model burns less fuel, increases productivity and improves uptime

New Cat

The new D10 is powered by the Cat C27 engine, which offers aftertreatment solutions to meet US EPA Tier 4 Final/ EU Stage V as well as Tier 2 equivalent emissions standards for other markets. The new model is expected to be released in Australia later in the year, with Australia-specific specs yet to be announced.

The C27 switches power settings based on travel direction to offer up to 20 per cent more power in reverse and reducing cycle times. In addition to delivering productivity gains of up to 3 per cent, the new D10 offers up to a 4 per cent fuel consumption advantage over the D10T2 and up to 10 per cent over the D10T.

The dozer’s new torque converter design with stator clutch automatically frees up the stator when torque

multiplication is not required, improving drivetrain efficiency for reduced fuel consumption. During high-load and retarding conditions, the stator clutch locks without the need for operator input. Load-sensing hydraulics deliver more power to the ground for increased responsiveness and added fuel efficiency. The new cab for the D10 reduces noise and vibration, with operators benefitting from a new multicolour touchscreen display that monitors machine performance and allows machine parameters to be changed to suit the application.

Caterpillar says that life-enhancing upgrades made throughout the drivetrain help to improve component life. Optional Heavy-Duty Extended Life (HDXL) with DuraLink undercarriage

Brand expands

Tricon Group has announced its new brand – Tricon Environmental

Tricon Group’s new Tricon Environmental brand has the exclusive seller status in Australia for Rubblemaster and Arjes Machinery, with a focus on waste and recycled material processors.

Tricon managing director Michael Tripolone says he is excited to be entering a new market.

“The recycling industry in Australia is in the midst of a huge phase of growth and we wanted to be there, partnered with these new customers to harness this growth,” he says.

“We looked at our crushing and screening business and thought that these waste and recycling customers could really get a lot from using these amazing international brands.

“Arjes is a new brand for us and this exclusive partner specialises in shredding,

which we know is in huge demand within the recycling industry.”

This new business will also offer genuine spare parts and servicing for both the Rubblemaster and Arjes brands.

Tricon Group has sold heavy-duty material processing equipment for over

reduces scallop wear, features an 8,000hour bushing seal life and delivers 20 to 40 per cent longer life than the heavyduty undercarriage.

The D10 design offers easy service and maintenance with features like new replaceable push-arm trunnion bearing inserts. The reengineered engine compartment integrates a single-plane cooling system that is up to 30 per cent more resistant to plugging and improves heat dissipation to extend component life. A new 50 per cent larger oil pan improves average oil quality and extends change intervals by up to 250 hours.

New range

Australasian hydraulic hose and fittings company Hydraulink has expanded the scale and scope of its operations in WA with the acquisition of CCR Hose & Fittings, to form Hydraulink CCR.

“[The acquisition] merges [the two business’] complementary strengths into one group, with an even stronger overall service offering to the resources sector and WA industry, including 24/7 services through an expanded mobile service fleet, greater fly-in fly-out capability, and on-site containerised workshops that can be placed virtually anywhere to lift uptime,” Hydraulink Australia managing director Denis Matulin says.

“This is a major investment in WA, the benefits of which will progressively flow through to Hydraulink services to mining, drilling and major projects in other areas nationally.”

Hydraulink is a national hose and fittings specialist that also operates in NZ and across the Asia-Pacific region.

CCR is now bringing its assets and experience into Hydraulink’s national network of 14 company-owned sites in Australia, offering mining and surface

drilling clients a substantial increase in inventory levels and an expanded offering, Hydraulink says.

“Our aim with the new combined entity is to take service to a level previously unseen in WA,” Matulin says.

“Being backed by a much larger, financially robust organisation means we will have the power to invest in additional service offerings to meet the growth needs of operations in the region.”

Hydraulink also recently announced it is offering a new range of hoses, designed for harsh environments. The new Enduro spiral hose range features a flexible slim profile, with high wear and abrasion resistance due to a SuperTuff Mine Safety and Health Administration cover.

“When operating in harsh environments, the last thing you need is gear that isn’t up to the task causing delays and loss of production. The new Enduro hoses are designed to increase service life, lower maintenance costs and reduce downtime – without any loss of flexibility or bend radius,” Matulin says.

The FAE BL1/SSL mulcher has been released

MULCHER

The FAE BL1/SSL mulcher has been designed for small skid steers

Forestry focus

FAE has released a new forestry mulcher for small skid steers – the BL1/SSL/VT – for vehicles from 45 to 65 horsepower (36 to 48kW), which can shred vegetation, shrubs and trees up to 10cm in diameter.

It can be used for vegetation maintenance along roadsides, railroad tracks, the banks of canals, rivers, lakes, managing and protecting wildlife habitats, maintaining vineyards and orchards, commercial and residential green areas and sports grounds.

The head is designed for high productivity, durability and easy maintenance.

The BL1/SSL/VT’s variable torque (VT) piston engine boosts mulcher performance compared to a fixed-cylinder engine, increasing torque when an extra boost of power is needed and minimising rotor stalling.

The Bite Limiter technology on this head is ideal for high productivity in managing vegetation, with reliably efficient shredding. The rotor with Bite Limiter technology comes with special wear-resistant steel profiles that limit the reach (bite) of the teeth. This cuts down on power demand and promotes a consistent working speed, for excellent performance when mulching any kind of wood. The Bite Limiter technology also minimises rotor stalling and helps optimise fuel consumption.

The Spike Pro counter blades ensure low power absorption and a finer final product. Spike Pros are interchangeable offset counter blades that enable finer shredding and a smoother flow of wet material. The special design also makes them efficient with very rigid and more flexible vegetation.

Sneak peek

The first two units of Komatsu’s new GD955-7R mining grader have been built, with plans to ship them to Australia in the coming months

Komatsu has announced that the first two units of its brand new mining grader – the GD955-7R – have been built at its Ibaraki Plant in Japan and are now being prepared for shipment to Australia later in the year. These 47-tonne graders will have

426 gross horsepower (318kW) and blade options of either 18ft (5.49m) or 20ft (6.1m).

As yet that is all of the information released about the new model –hopefully it won’t be too long before we get to welcome them Down Under.

with variable flow rates of 30 to 1,900L/min for water and 30 to 850 L/ min for emulsion to meet site needs. The operator controls additive flow and customises spray width from inside the cab.

Controlled cut

The new Cat RM600 and RM800 reclaimer/stabilisers have been released for full-depth reclamation and soil stabilisation projects

A turbocharged Cat C18 engine gives the RM600 up to 17 per cent more power at 636 horsepower (474kW) than the RM500B, while the RM800 delivers 762hp (568kW).

Featuring a belt-driven rotor drive system, the machine is capable of flush-cutting on the right side. The new System K rotor uses the same cold planer fastener-free, dualtaper toolholder and base block components to deliver superior material quality on a range of projects. Exit and return-to-cut features simplify operation, save time and ensure the machine maintains a consistent depth of cut.

With front-to-rear weight distribution optimised for stability in tough cuts, standard electronically controlled all-wheel drive maximises traction and mobility for the new RM600 and RM800. Four height adjustable legs provide up to + or – 14 per cent (8 degrees) of slope on either side when working on uneven terrain or to maintain traction in challenging soil stabilisation applications.

Two high-tensile, six-rib belts with automatic tensioning prevent slippage, while the rotor drive features a hydraulically actuated, heavy-duty clutch that does not require adjustment. The versatile rotor can be configured with bolt-on paddle toolholder protection for fulldepth reclamation applications or wedge protection to reduce drag.

The new models cut 2,438mm wide at up to 508mm in depth. Adjusting the front and rear mixing

chamber doors enables modification of material gradation, and an easyto-read indicator on the touchscreen display informs the operator of door positions. A rear rotor chamber door float feature simplifies operation by allowing the operator to select the desired down pressure. RM600 and RM800 also offer bi-directional cutting capability.

With a 3.1m inside turning radius there are four steering modes – front only, rear only, crab and coordinated. Water and emulsion spray systems are available for the new machines, and the emulsion system features self-cleaning nozzles and is designed to deliver water as well as bitumen emulsion. Computerised metering delivers accurate application rates

Asset buy

Epiroc has agreed to purchase the key assets of Schramm Australia, a manufacturer of products for reverse circulation drilling.

Since February 2023, Schramm Australia, based in Perth, has been in voluntary administration. The assets include intellectual property as well as two production facilities near Perth and two service centres located in Queensland and South Australia. Schramm Australia’s employees will be offered employment at Epiroc.

“The Schramm products and brand are well known as a global leader in reverse

Front- and rear-mounted cameras provide configurable guidelines on the touchscreen display while two standard cameras mounted above the front and rear mixing chamber doors give operators visibility to obstructions and material gradation. Optional side-mount cameras provide views to each side of the machine.

The standard compressed air system can power pneumatic tools and offers two access points to reduce the time for rotor bit changes. Service mode allows the engine to run while the machine is locked out, supplying compressed air so the rotor can be safely serviced

The new models feature built-in diagnostics to monitor machine systems, alert the operator of performance issues and simplify troubleshooting. Standard Product Link provides machine data and enables the use of Cat Remote Services.

The RM600 and RM800 reclaimer/stabilisers are available now in Australia.

Twice as nice

Equipment is bringing not one, but two lines of SDLG machinery to Australia, with

and

CJD Equipment is launching two new ranges of Shandong Lingong (SDLG) equipment in Australia: a set of mini excavators and the H-Series wheel loaders. CJD has been the national distributor of SDLG machinery in Australia for over a decade.

SDLG is one of China’s fastest growing construction equipment manufacturers, with over 50 years of industry expertise spanning more than 130 countries. As a member of the Volvo Group since 2007, SDLG integrates Volvo’s design influence and high-quality standards to provide machinery that is both costeffective and reliable, with simple operation and maintenance.

“CJD Equipment has been distributing SDLG wheel loaders in Australia for over 11 years and, in that time, our customers have experienced great success with the product in a number of different industries, including waste and recycling, agriculture, timber plants

wheel loaders providing an even wider choice

and general construction,” CJD Equipment SDLG national product manager Andrew Egan says.

“The general feedback is that they are extremely reliable, simple to operate and versatile.”

Mini excavators

The SDLG mini excavator range includes three models: ER616F, ER636F and E660FL. All models, newly designed by SDLG with comfort and reliability at the core, have either zero or reduced tail swing, durable rubber tracks, pilot hydraulic operated controls and either Kubota or Yanmar engines.

“The new models include standard features that are usually options on other machines, making SDLG extremely good value for money,” Egan says.

“Coupled with SDLG’s reputation of simplicity, reliability and ease of operation, SDLG excavators will likely become one of the first choices amongst astute buyers.”

The smallest in the excavator range, the 1.8-tonne, 13 horsepower (10kW) ER616F has an excavation force of 15kN and the ability to accommodate different attachments.

The ER616F features an energysaving, fuel efficient Kubota engine with a zero-tail swing and highquality hydraulic components for precise control and increased machine stability.

Ideal for landscaping and smaller municipal construction jobs, the ER616F is robust, reliable and very simple to operate. With a mechanical accelerator, pilot handle and control switch all ergonomically positioned, the ER616F helps operators get the job done quickly.

The next model is the ER636F 3.8tonne, 27hp (20kW) excavator. The ER636F also has a compact design and zero tail-swing with an enclosed, spacious cabin, making it wellsuited to urban construction jobs, particularly in tight spaces. The cab features a digital instrument

The new mini excavators all have a comfortable cab with noise and vibration reduction technology

display, suspension seat and air conditioning as standard for ultimate operator comfort.

The ER636F has a high torque, highly efficient Yanmar engine with a load-sensing hydraulic system for smoother operation and reduced noise and vibration.

For improved durability, the upper frame is reinforced to ensure uniform load distribution with a high ground clearance. Additionally, the undercarriage delivers outstanding wear resistance and the boom and arm use high tensile steel and reinforced castings for a longer service life.

The opening angle of the engine hood allows for unrestricted access to filters and pressure testing ports, and relays and fuses are also located inside the cab to ensure simplified maintenance.

The six-tonne, 52hp (39kW) E660FL excavator is the largest in the line-up to be offered in Australia. Reliable and comfortable, the E660FL excavator has a reduced tail swing, comfortable cab and compact structure, along with industry-leading vibration and noise reduction technologies, ideal for a variety of landscaping and general construction applications.

The E660FL features nine work

modes and an auto-idle function for power on-demand. This is paired with an energy-saving hydraulic system and highly efficient fourcylinder Yanmar T3-rated engine to deliver high performance with notable fuel economy.

The load-sensing hydraulic system is engineered to deliver performance and efficiency with a variable piston pump for precise control in a wide variety of conditions.

Like the ER636F, the E660FL has been designed to minimise maintenance efforts, with the main

components, filter and electrical systems grouped for easy ground level access.

All new SDLG machinery comes with a three-year, 6,000-hour warranty as standard.

H-Series wheel loaders

Expanding CJD Equipment’s SDLG wheel loader offering is the new H-Series range.

The new mini excavator range goes from 1.8 tonnes to six tonnes

SDLG wheel loaders have proven ideal for a variety of applications and are an excellent choice for Australian operations. Having earned a reputation as the workhorse of the construction industry, SDLG wheel loaders are known for their extremely reliable performance, simple operation, low maintenance and value for money.

The new L936HLA, L938H and L946H H-Series models feature a high torque, fuel efficient Weichai sixcylinder engine. The H-Series models are fitted with a newly designed air-conditioned cab with improved sealing performance, suspension seat and a wraparound pillarless front and rear windscreen for clear visibility. All wheel loaders also feature fully certified ROPS-FOPS rollover protection as standard.

“SDLG wheel loaders have all the necessary safety features in the cab, along with an ergonomic, comfortable, low-noise environment – keeping operators alert and happy,” Egan says.

“The new models are very versatile, thanks to the factory fitted quick coupler and third function hydraulics which can accommodate a variety of different attachments, making the machine very simple to use.”

The first new machine in the SDLG H-Series line-up is the 11-tonne, 141hp

(105kW) L936HLA wheel loader. The L936HLA features a bucket capacity up to 1.8 cubic metres and rated load of three tonnes. The rear axle rated load capacity has been improved by 25 per cent, offering greater durability and increased productivity. This loader has a small footprint, making it manoeuvrable, and is perfect for removal jobs and utility work.

The new L938H, also an 11-tonne, 141hp loader, delivers a larger 2.1 cubic metre bucket capacity and includes a four-speed power shift transmission over the two-speed L936HLA, for greater speed and smoother shifting. This makes the L938H wheel loader ideal for transporting and loading loose materials like sand and soil, as well as feedlots and general material handling.

The L936HLA and L938H both also feature an automatic bucket and boom kick out function to ensure optimal productivity during load carrying.

The L946H is the largest wheel loader in the new H-Series range offered by CJD Equipment. Weighing in at 13 tonnes, it has a 173hp (129kW) engine and a four-tonne rated load capacity, 2.3 cubic metre bucket and optimised frame and boom structure, making it ideal for heavy load and material handling applications.

In addition to the new H-Series

models, the compact six-tonne LG918 (77hp/58 kW) and the 17-tonne L958F (217hp/162kW) can still be purchased as new and remain part of CJD’s SDLG wheel loader offering.

Egan says the SDLG and CJD Equipment partnership gives customers a reputable product with high level aftersales support, with 24/7 sales, parts and service support stretching across the nation, from capital cities to country towns.

“It’s one thing to buy a machine that’s cost-effective, but all machines have the potential for unscheduled downtime,” he says.

“It’s a matter of how quickly you can get back to work again and how much you can rely on the company that sold you the machine.

“CJD has a very good reputation Australia-wide for representing its machinery and looking after customers. You don’t stay in the industry for almost 50 years without looking after your customers.

“If you’re planning on purchasing or replacing a piece of used equipment or you just want a machine that is reliable, easy to operate and maintain, and highly efficient, then SDLG is a great option.”

Specialised approach

Earthmovers & Excavators caught up with Dakota Contracting Services’ Jake Roehrich recently to ask how the new Lamtrac 6160T mulcher carriers from Colbrook Industries are fitting into his fleet.

“I started off with just one machine, doing forestry mulching, gorse, blackberries and property clean-ups, and built it up into a business,” he says of how Dakota Contracting got going.

“We’ve been going for around five years now and run a set of dedicated mulching machines with a team of five.”

Covering the whole of Victoria, but with a focus on the Macedon Ranges and Hepburn region, Dakota Contracting undertakes a variety of mulching, mowing and land clearance work, from handling storm damage material, to fire prevention, to maintaining council verges.

“We’ve got excavators, dozers, skid steers, dedicated forestry mulchers and remote control mulchers,” Roehrich says of his fleet.

“There’s a fair range there as we use different machines for different applications.

“We use excavators for a lot of our tree clearing and storm damage work, and we run mulchers on the end of those as well. This is for things like drainage lines where other machines can’t get access.

“The remote control machines we send up onto steep embankments and for roadside vegetation where it’s too dangerous to have manned machines working.”

Built for mulching

Taking Dakota Contracting’s mulching work to the next level are a pair of Lamtrac 6160Ts sporting Diamond Mowers mulchers.

The third generation of Lamtrac’s compact track loader-style mulcher carriers, the 6160T have been designed specifically for mulching and offer a superior performance alternative to attaching a mulcher to a skid steer.

“They’ve been really good,” Roehrich says.

“We love the machines, and the boys are in them every day. The Lamtracs have their work cut out for them – they’ve got a fair bit of work to get through and they get pushed pretty hard every day. They’re very

reliable and the production power is impressive.”

With a Cummins B4.5 Stage V engine, the 6160T produces 155 horsepower (116kW) and has a maximum flow rate of 166 litres per minute at 6,000psi. Weighing in at 6.2 tonnes and fitted with a forestry ROPS/FOPS cabin, Colbrook Industries – the sole distributor of Lamtrac machinery in Australia and New Zealand – says that the 6160T offers significantly more power than other compact track loaders on the market.

Initially designed for Lamtrac’s home country of Canada, the Colbrook version sports an upgraded cooling system with a three-tier radiator capable of handling ambient temperatures up to 50 degrees Celsius.

“We wanted something that had more horsepower than your average skid steer,” Roehrich says.

“After we got the first one, we were like – yeah this is the tool, this is what we need.

“A big thing is the safety – for example having side-opening doors instead of front-opening doors. If you stop on a skid steer and your boom’s

up, you can’t get out of your door –you’re stuck inside the machine.

“The traction is really good. We do a fair bit of work where it’s hilly and it’s going up 45-degree hills. Maintenance is also great as it’s easy to clean. When mulching you get a build-up of debris in the machine because material is flying around all over the place, so that was a game changer. We’ve halved the time spent cleaning the machines – we get it done in an afternoon, whereas a skid steer used to take all day.”

Colbrook Industries

In addition to the Lamtrac mulcher carriers, Dakota Contracting has been running a set of Diamond Mowers vegetation management

attachments, also supplied by Colbrook Industries. These include drum mulchers, disc mulchers and two brush cutters.

Roehrich says that he finds the Diamond brand to be highly efficient, with its capabilities particularly standing out on harder material like trees. The strong backup provided by Colbrook Industries is essential for his work, he adds, along with the parts availability.

“Having the parts and support there has been a big thing for us,” Roehrich says.

“We’ve been buying from Colbrook for about two and a half years and the biggest thing is their service. What I’ve learnt is that it doesn’t matter what machine and what brand you buy, it’s the customer

service you get behind it that matters.

“Colbrook will drop what they’re doing to come and help us get going again. There aren’t many people that will go out of their way and drop you off parts on a weekend to get you going again for Monday. That sort of service is priceless.”

With Shell lubricants, oils and grease from Viva Energy Australia you can ensure that your business has the best tools on hand to get more done faster

The world of construction is changing rapidly. On a journey to decarbonise their operations, businesses are quickly adapting to new ways of working. It helps that construction is a sector set to be in high demand during 2023. Many governments have identified the positive impact construction can have on global economies and are ramping up their investments in infrastructure projects.

For example, in the US, Moody’s Investors Service reports construction spending is expected to increase by 5.5 per cent in 2023 with the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act driving increased demand. Bloomberg reports that China put even more money behind infrastructure projects in 2022, boosting construction with its own $2.3 trillion plan – and the country is set to invest further during 2023, according to China’s state-run Global Times Elsewhere, the energy crisis has inspired governments to invest in long-term alternatives to oil and gas. This is the case in the UK, which plans to accelerate the development of new nuclear, wind, solar and hydrogen power. Similarly, India

faces the need to invest around $840 billion in urban infrastructure over the next 15 years to meet the needs of its rapidly growing population.

All this investment creates a vital opportunity for the construction industry to drive growth – for the businesses themselves and the communities they operate in. From new housing to families to sustainable infrastructure, construction companies can help to build a better economic and environmental future for people everywhere.

Business opportunities

To realise the potential of increased global investments in infrastructure, companies need the ability to take on a range of new projects on top of their current workloads. This means getting themselves set up for success by optimising their processes and maximising equipment uptime.

There are several reasons why these two tasks are important. Across multiple industries, there’s a shortage of skilled workers.

Construction is one of the worst affected, with hundreds of thousands of unfilled vacancies worldwide. So, companies need to

make the most of the skilled teams they have and equip them with the right tools and processes.

Also, with rising material, fuel and labour costs, companies need to find as many efficiency savings as possible to protect their margins.

A vital place to look for these savings is in equipment operations, where breakdowns contribute to missed deadlines and account for roughly 40 per cent of the industry’s cost overruns.

Viva Energy Australia, the Shell Lubricants Macro Distributor in Australia, offers a range of lubricants, oil and greases that can help extend equipment lifespan, prevent breakdowns and provide solutions for effective maintenance plans.

“Shell invests significantly in technical collaboration and has over 350 product application specialists that work closely with original equipment manufacturers and customers to develop innovative lubricant solutions to optimise equipment uptime,” Viva Energy technical expert Silvana Farrugia says.

“Our lubricants products can deliver value but also improve business outcomes.”

Working as hard as you

As construction companies take on more projects, the reliability of their equipment and processes will be critical in delivering on time and to budget. Shell Lubricants has a wide variety of lubricants, tools, technologies and initiatives available to businesses that they can use to maximise equipment uptime and drive efficiency across site operations. Here are some solutions that companies can explore:

Predictive maintenance and modelling

So much equipment damage can go unnoticed until it’s too late. Unplanned downtime can easily come from previously unnoticed equipment damage. With predictive maintenance practices (including oil condition monitoring), construction crews can spot and fix issues before they escalate – preventing avoidable breakdowns and unplanned downtime. Sensors play a vital role in this, creating a valuable new source of data for companies to generate actionable insights from.

Ineffective lubrication has caused breakdowns for four out of 10 companies

Preventative maintenance

Research conducted by Shell shows ineffective lubrication has caused breakdowns for four out of 10 companies. High-performance lubricants for engines, hydraulics, gears and transmission systems are an essential part of avoiding unplanned downtime and maximising equipment productivity. That’s why regular ongoing maintenance from on-site assessments and services like Shell LubeAnalyst optimise lubrication practices in a way that can make a huge difference to delivering projects on time and on budget.

Full speed ahead

The dirt is flying at Excavator Parts, with plans for an expansion of its yard underway as well as father and son Peter and Jayden Jilg putting their skills to the test in the high-speed world of 4x4 racing

After Excavator Parts’ brush with the Marvel Universe last year, which saw one of its excavators used in the filming of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, it seems film is in the blood, with company director Peter Jilg appearing in the short film ‘Terrain Tamer – Dust Up’.

The second in the Fast Parts series filmed by Victorian 4WD parts dealer Terrain Tamer, it focuses on the world of 4WD racing – a particular passion for Peter and his son Jayden.

Outside of the day-to-day of selling new and used excavator parts from their base in Wauchope on NSW’s mid north coast, Peter and Jayden are the driver and navigator for the Jilg Racing team, participating in 4WD and Ultra4 buggy endurance events across Australia.

Since 2019, the pair have taken part in off-roading challenges such as Ultra4 Australia and Cliffhanger – handling everything from winch climbs and creek runs to week-long navigation races in the Cobar desert.

“Dad used to race years and years ago down in Victoria in a few small competitions,” Jayden says of how the business got involved in sponsoring its own racing team.

“Back in 2019 we decided to get

involved because we knew a few guys that did similar events and were keen to get back into it.

“We ended up finding one of the cars that we have from a company down in Victoria that do 4WD parts and, from there, we started the winch challenges and 4WD endurance events.”

This first car was an old Nissan Patrol, which was cut in half and a roll cage built inside. Larger wheels and a host of personal modifications by the Excavator Parts team turned this SUV into a winch track racer.

“We then bought an Ultra4 buggy, which is for more serious off-roading,” Jayden says.

“It’s got 40-inch tyres on and is basically a tube cage with specialised suspension, which means it’s built for more high-speed rock crawling. We pretty much pulled the whole thing down and rebuilt it – added our own touch to it.”

At the time of speaking, the team was preparing for the second round of Ultra4 Australia near Warwick, QLD, with Cliffhanger taking place in October. This year Excavator Parts will be sponsoring Cliffhanger, which calls itself the “big daddy of Australian 4x4 racing”.

“We’ve always had like a passion for 4WD and motorsports,” Jayden says, “so we thought: ‘Why not give it a try, see how we go?’

“It helps us get the business name out there as well.”

It sounds like things are just as fast-paced in the yard, with Jayden saying that the parts business “just keeps getting bigger and bigger”.

“There’s always more demand for it. We’ve got something like 80 or so machines spread throughout the yard. They just keep coming in and we keep pushing them out.

“We’ve actually got two yards at moment, so one where the warehouse is and one over the way that’s getting developed. It should be done at the end of this year/start of next year and is the same size as the yard we currently have, so we’re just trying to fit everything in.”

Best of luck to the Jilg Racing team!

PRESSEXTRA

With support and expertise from Porter Hire, Plumb Commercial is meeting strict deadlines on a residential housing project near Toowoomba

Plumb position

All the boys love them. It’s pretty hard to even keep the plumbers out of them to do their jobs – they’d rather sit in the machines because they’re air conditioned and have stereos in them!”

Plumb Commercial director Steve Wilkes laughs down the phone when describing how his operators have taken to the Hyundai excavators he currently has at a subdivision site near Toowoomba in Queensland.

Four 32-tonne R320LC-9s, a Hyundai HL757TM-9 wheel loader and a 20-tonne Ammann ARS200 padfoot roller from Porter Hire are currently on site laying services, operated by a team that includes Trevor Jennings – aka ‘Australia’s Best Operator’ – who’s known for his Instagram and TikTok film clips of him operating heavy machinery.

“He loves being in the big stuff,” Wilkes says.

“But we try to get all of our guys to look after the machines – you’ve got to treat them like your own.”

Wilkes’s career began with an apprenticeship at his father’s sheet metal company in Toowoomba, before a move to Brisbane and into plumbing. After a decade, Toowoomba called him back and he was headhunted by Hutchinson Builders, where he spent 15 years running its hydraulic and civil division alongside his current Plumb Commercial partner Andrew.

“We decided to go out and do it for ourselves, so myself and Andrew started Plumb Commercial about three years ago,” Wilkes says.

“When we were doing subdivisions for Hutchinson Builders, Porter Hire came and saw us, and we’ve dealing with them ever since.”

Now, Plumb Commercial has seven subcontractors under its umbrella as well as the Cavalier Homes business bought around 18 months ago.

“We specialise in civil plumbing, but we also cover commercial and residential hydraulics as well, so basically anything with plumbing we can do,” Wilkes says.

“On the Cavalier Homes side, we build residential homes, along with anything up to three storeys high.

“With the plumbing contracts we’ve got two jobs that are about two and a half million dollars, but we’ve worked up to $5 to $10 million jobs.

“We’re probably not always the cheapest, but the quality of our work and the work ethic that we instil in our guys is what sets us apart from everyone else. We make sure that we that everything we do is good quality and we really don’t want to go back to a job, so we make sure that works are done right the first time.”

Highfields subdivision

The project we are looking at today is what will become a new housing estate in the expanding town of Highfields, located 20 minutes north of Toowoomba.

“We’re putting in the civil infrastructure, so the sewers, the stormwater, water, connecting it up to the council mains, and so on,” Wilkes says.

“It’s a 160-lot subdivision, with a detention basin that runs over to a creek at the back.”

On the site, the four Hyundai R320LC-9s are digging the pipe trenches that vary between three and six and a half metres in depth.

“We have them digging the trenches and backfilling, but we’ve also got to use shoring boxes on some of the deeper stuff, so they’re lifting the shoring boxes in and out as well as the piping.” Wilkes says.

The R320LC-9s were chosen specifically for “that extra reach and the extra grunt” with the deeper trenches. Wilkes says the features such as auto boom and

auto power boost are useful features for making operation easier and improving productivity.

The surround-view camera system is also a major benefit on a busy worksite.

“The cameras are great for safety as we’ve probably got eight or nine guys running around on the site, and there’s a fair bit of pressure to get the work done quickly. So, having that that 360-degree camera means that, if somebody walks up behind a machine, the operator can see them and stop what they’re doing. It’s very handy for this site as well, to prevent machines from ending up in trenches.

“If we start getting into more of the subdivision work, we’ll start talking to Porter Hire about GPS as well. This will make the machines more efficient again because then

It

we don’t need to have people in the trenches giving heights, as they can just dig straight off the machine.”

Alongside the excavators, a Hyundai HL757TM-9 wheel loader is moving material around on site – from soil dug from trenches to heavy concrete piping.

“Because we are digging so deep, we’ve got a lot of spoil that we have to move as well as backfilling,” Wilkes says.

“It was a no-brainer to get this machine in. Its capacity makes the process faster, as its bucket can hold a lot more material and therefore backfill a bit quicker than the excavators.

“We’ve also put some forks on it to move pipes around. At the moment, as it can take six months to get concrete pipe in, most developers are buying the pipe before the

subdivision’s even approved and just storing it on site. It then becomes an issue when we get to site, especially when you’re covering hectares of ground, to try and move all this pipe around, so that’s where the loader comes in.

“It’s got a wide wheelbase as well, which is what we need, especially with the undulations that we’ve got on site. Especially if you’ve got new guys coming in and trying to learn how to operate them, it’s a lot safer having a wide base.”

Porter Hire

With high praise for the machines comes even higher praise for Porter Hire.

For Plumb Commercial, hiring specific machines in for different jobs makes a lot more sense rather than having a large yard to store a

fleet, and the machines’ maintenance is handled for them.

“Porter Hire delivers the machines to site, they remove them from site and they look after the fleet – the only thing we’ve got to do is operate them and put fuel in,” Wilkes says.

“We have a great relationship. They’ll ring me up just to see how things are going, even if I don’t have anything on hire with them at the moment. When they’re in town, they’ll pop in and just say hello to us and see what’s coming up.”

The Porter Hire team has also been on hand to help the Plumb team out where needed.

“For example, on another one of our jobs, the people we’re doing the work for own the machine, but we needed a rock breaker. Usually that isn’t supplied without a machine, but they look after us. It’s a really healthy and

The service Porter Hire gives us is outstanding

C

prospering relationship,” he says.

“The service they give us is outstanding. If a machine breaks down or we have an issue with it, usually they’re there the next day having it fixed or replacing the machine so we can keep moving as we’re on tight deadlines.

“To anybody reading this, I just highly recommend getting in touch with them and their pricing is really competitive.

“Also, if you have downtime due to the weather or other reasons, they’re always happy to help you out and stand a machine down if they can. I wouldn’t go anywhere else – they’re our number one supplier.”

Best on show

The 2023 Heavy Equipment and Machinery Show took place at the Brisbane Showgrounds in May and attracted over 5,500 attendees for the four-day event

The Heavy Equipment and Machinery Show saw a wide range of exhibitors from different industries showing off their gear and tech. We were on site to see what was on display.

CJD Equipment – SDLG L958F wheel loader

CJD Equipment was out in force in BrisVegas with a whole suite of Volvo machinery on site, but with the cover story of this issue focused on the expansion of CJD Equipment’s SDLG wheel loader range, what attracted our attention was the hefty 17.5-tonne L958F wheel loader on display.

“This is a very popular loader due to its size and price point,” a CJD Equipment sales rep on the stand told Earthmovers & Excavators

“It’s perfect for quarry work and for loading up trucks. A lot of these units are moved overseas so we’re just trying to mimic that in Australia.

“This one we have here has a quick hitch on it so it’s very easy to move between attachments and you can retrofit boom suspension to these. These really can be fitted out to suit a wide range of applications – it’s a good all-rounder.”

Hiab – Moffett E Series E5 NX electric forklift

Hiab had an extensive range of scissor lifts and truck loading cranes on display, but the star was a brand new electric truck-mounted forklift that can unload both sides of a truck from the same position.

“The one side offload, which is a unique feature of Moffett, allows you to unload both sides of the truck, when you’ve only got access to one side of the truck,” HIAB national product manager Moffett + Multilift Steve Lelan says.

“Normally, with a conventional forklift, you can only pick up on one

side, so if you’re in a tight location you might have to move and repark the truck. You don’t need to do that with this particular Moffett because, due to its ability to pick up 2.5 tonnes on the near side and two tonnes on the far side, it provides both near side and far side access.”

The E5 NX has been designed for use in last-mile logistics and operations such as building material transport and storage units, providing noise and emission-free operation in inner-city settings where access may be limited.

Hastings Deering – 299D3XE compact track loader

What immediately caught the eye on Hastings Deering’s stand was the bright pink Cat 299D3XE compact track loader. This particular loader was given the striking paint job last year as part of a fundraising initiative for Chicks in Pink, which raises awareness of breast cancer. It’s now been out and about on a variety of sites, bringing a bit more power at 110hp (87kW) Hastings Deering says, for use in civil construction and forestry applications.

CR Kennedy – Leica iCR80 and AP20 AutoPole

Australia’s distributor of Leica Geosystems equipment, CR Kennedy, was displaying the new Leica iCR80 construction total station and the Leica AP20 AutoPole, which are designed to minimise errors and automate workflow.

“The AutoPole does numerous things, one being automatic tilt recognition, so you no longer have to keep the pole steady to be able to shoot a point,” CR Kennedy machine control sales and support rep Josh Milliron says.

“You also have height recognition, so as soon as you move the pole up, it’ll automatically update the pole height into the tablet. This means that you can’t mark things out at the wrong height. It’s very fast, running on dual Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to make

setting out 30 per cent quicker than if you weren’t using an auto tool.

“This station will run on a grader or digger as well so that you can actually use it for millimetre accuracy on an excavator or grader for trimming roads.”

Tilly’s – Weitai final drive

Tilly’s had a larger stall this year with a wide range of attachments and parts on display.

An exciting new addition to the Tilly’s stable is the Weitai final drive range, which we go into on page 18. There was also a range of stick rakes for D3–D8 dozers and wheel loaders, rippers and undercarriage parts for machines between 2 tonnes and 60 tonnes.

Although best known for its undercarriage parts, we hear that Tilly’s is also starting to expand into offering low-hour secondhand machines.

Komatsu – excavator Retrofit Kit

Komatsu had one of its PC138US excavators on site to showcase its retrofit kit, which can turn older excavators into smart machines.

The kit equips an excavator with 3D machine guidance, where location data is used to show the operator where the bucket edge is in relation to design data of the construction area.

The process also works in reverse through the collection of 3D construction data so digital designs can be updated to match actual conditions on a site. A payload meter is also included in the kit.

EV Charging Australia –charging stations

EV Charging Australia may be a name that you haven’t come across before, but with the growing interest in electric machinery,

there needs to be a charging infrastructure system to go with it.

Having started up in 2020 with the focus of providing mobile EV charging services, EV Charging Australia has expanded to offer a range of solutions that can charge cars, trucks and machinery, with modular options for companies expanding their fleets and the option of storing excess energy from solar power generation.

Along wide accessories, charging cables, Tesla rental and charging stations it also offers a variety of subscription services for mobile charging and commercial installation.

EV Charging Australia can also manage payment software for quick charging and it has partnered with brokers to provide options for EV financing.

Future at your fingertips

Continental hydraulic hoses and fittings are built for the harshest environments. From construction, oil and gas, mining and manufacturing to transportation, Continental’s designers and engineers constantly develop new innovations to meet their changing needs.

One example is the Continental crimper controller, which is a 21stcentury improvement over manual crimping. Precise digital crimping and cloud solutions are a quantum leap in the world of hydraulic and industrial hose.

The PC200i is a high-volume, high-capacity stationary crimper featuring the Continental CrimpIQ Controller, powered by Continental Fluid Solutions technology. This technology provides direct access to all crimping specs and information.

MINING

Hitachi haul

Mining company Rex Minerals has announced that it has entered into an agreement with Hitachi for new Ultra-class mining equipment worth over $100 million

This will include four excavator units ranging in size from 250 tonnes to 600 tonnes and 12 300-tonne capacity haul trucks. Hitachi will also provide South Australian-based facilities and aftersales support as Rex Minerals continues to develop the Hillside Copper-Gold Project on Yorke Peninsula, South Australia.

“This strategy of locking in the fleet via an LOI [Letter of Intent] secures the Ultra-class fleet for Rex without any immediate financial commitment and ensures that we can push forward with and adhere to our project timeline,” Rex CEO Richard Laufmann says.

“We are excited to be working with Hitachi after completing an exhaustive examination of our potential mining fleet options. As detailed in this announcement, the activity levels for all disciplines in relation to Hillside are increasing and the process remains focused on first production by Q4 calendar year 2025.”

Rex Minerals says that Hillside will provide employment for over 500 people during construction and over 400 during operations.

Mining innovation

Komatsu and Toyota to develop autonomous light vehicle

Komatsu Ltd and Toyota Motor Corporation have announced a joint project to develop an autonomous light vehicle (ALV) that will run on Komatsu’s autonomous haulage system (AHS) to boost safety and productivity improvements in mines.

Haulage trucks using an AHS are already in use at mine sites, but when they share roads with manual light vehicles like those used for maintenance or transport, they may decrease their speed or stop when passing, to avoid possible collisions caused by human error.

In an effort to avoid this and improve productivity, Komatsu will develop a new management program for ALVs on its autonomous haulage supervisory system and Toyota will develop ALVs running automatically under AHS control.

Both companies are currently testing a concept autonomous light vehicle at their proving grounds and plan to have a proof of concept at a customer site by January 2024.

“Since 2008, we’ve have rolled out 650 driverless trucks at 22 mine sites around the world,” Komatsu Australia executive general

A proof of concept will be developed for testing by January 2024

manager mining Leo Kaloglou says.

“Our AHS has a proven track record in delivering enhanced productivity and lower operating costs, with safety as the highest priority.”

Komatsu Australia managing director Sean Taylor says Komatsu and Toyota have a long strategic global relationship and this project is another example of this collaboration delivering value to joint customers.

“Komatsu and Toyota are also collaborating on hydrogen fuel cell technologies to be featured on medium-sized hydraulic excavators, which will support our journey towards a 50 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 and net zero by 2050,” Taylor says.

“Komatsu’s vision is to empower a sustainable future where people, businesses and planet thrive together and we are accelerating our efforts to realise smart and clean future mine sites, leading to higher safety and productivity for our customer and partners.”

With a frame and undercarriage designed to handle tough work sites, the TD-15M’s hydraulics have been given a higher level of protection and the blade and ripper strengthened. To safeguard the engine from dust and debris the TD-15M has a hydraulically driven, variable speed fan.

“A dozer is only as strong as its weakest point,” Dressta global sales director Bartosz Kozik says.

“At Dressta, we don’t do weakness. Our strength is in building worldclass machines which deliver for the operator and the owner.”

With 33 per cent larger glass surface area, a tapered engine hood, optional rear-view camera and additional blade lighting, the TD-15M continues Dressta’s commitment to safety and visibility.

“Visibility is one of our core design considerations,” Dressta executive director of industrial design Gary Major.

“Across our range, which includes the new TD-16N, the absolute benchmark for visibility, we have taken a proactive approach to maximising visibility for the operator. Our priority is to make our dozers safer and more productive and great visibility is key to both.”

Operator comfort has also been improved with an ergonomic control interface, improved seating and joystick and an ultra-low noise, low vibration cab.

Powered by a Cummins engine, delivering 1,044Nm torque @ 1,500 rpm, the TD-15M generates 472kN of drawbar pull. Two-speed steering drive maximises productivity by delivering 100 per cent of the engine’s power to both tracks. Selectable drive and attachment modes improve the operational experience and performance, while load sensing hydraulics and electro-hydraulically controlled proportional joysticks allow accurate and sensitive control.

“Power and control go hand-in-hand,” Kozik says.

“We’ve given the operator the tools to enjoy many happy hours of profitable dozing. In addition, with its modular layout with safe and easy access to maintenance points, lifetime lubricated rollers, heavy-duty chains and idlers for extended track life, we’ve made significant steps to increase overall uptime and performance.”

Production of the TD-15M has now begun at Dressta’s new fullyautomated dozer production facility in Changzhou.

Komatsu has developed a concept machine for a medium-sized hydraulic excavator that combines a hydrogen fuel cell and Komatsu-developed key components, to achieve carbon neutrality on construction worksites.

By advancing the proof of concept tests it started in May 2023, Komatsu will accelerate its efforts to embark on the commercial production of mediumsized and large construction equipment powered by hydrogen fuel cells in the near future.

In its mid-term management plan, Komatsu committed to minimising environmental impact through its business, targeting a 50 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions from use of its products and production of its equipment by 2030 (compared to 2010 levels) and set a challenge target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

Currently manufacturing hybrid hydraulic excavators and electric mini excavators, Komatsu is also engaged in research and development to provide products equipped with new power sources.

For the new concept machine, Komatsu adopted a Toyota-developed hydrogen fuel cell system and hydrogen tank.

Komatsu says that medium-sized and large construction equipment requires a power source with higher energy density than that of small construction equipment. As hydrogen has a higher energy density and can be refuelled in a shorter time than recharging batteries, Komatsu has been advancing its R&D efforts in hydrogen for medium-sized and large models.

HAULERS

Three Rokbak RA40s are handling difficult conditions with ease at Indonesian nickel mine

On an island on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, 2,000km north-east of Java, a trio of Rokbak RA40s are working across a 45,065-hectare mining site. At this remote location in North Maluku, Indonesia, the Rokbak articulated haulers operate up and down steep inclines, through mud, dirt, grit and gravel, for close to 24 hours a day, in 30°C heat and in sometimes torrential rain.

Moving around 450 tonnes of biomass and quarry materials each day over a 2km area, each RA40 will record approximately 6,000 operating hours per year.

Indonesian heavy industry company PT Hillcon purchased the three haulers through Rokbak dealer PT Uniquip, an equipment supplier based in Jakarta, and they have been operating at the mine since February 2022.

Daily operations for each RA40 begin at 7am and conclude at 6:45am the following day, across a two-shift driver pattern. These long hours benefit from the truck’s

high-performance fluid transmission providing 6,000 hours of operating time before requiring an oil change, meaning increased productivity and uptime as well as low cost per tonne.

“This particular site is extremely challenging, with high levels of mud, uneven ground and precarious terrain that gets even worse when the notorious Indonesian wet season rolls around,” Rokbak regional business manager Lee Irving says.

However, Rokbak says that difficult conditions are where the RA40 excels, with the 38-tonne hauler designed to make light work of large-scale quarry, mine and construction jobs.

“With long shift patterns, we’ve been able to see first-hand the RA40’s performance and productivity in Weda Bay, with the truck’s heavy-duty axles coping extremely well against slippage and the subsidence you often find on site,” Uniquip sales manager Rachmad Sembiring says.

Hillcon’s operators like the visibility and comfort that the RA40 provides

New Sandvik battery boosts battery electric vehicle runtime by 36 per cent

Sandvik is introducing a highercapacity battery for its battery electric mining loaders and trucks that significantly boosts the vehicles’ run time on a single charge.

In addition to a 36 per cent longer runtime, there is also a lower cost per Amp-hour compared to currentgeneration Artisan battery packs. The increased capacity also improves charge acceptance, enabling faster downhill speeds and better efficiency.

“This new battery represents 13 years of technology evolution for Artisan battery packs,” Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions product line manager, batteries and chargers Joseph Beck says.

“By utilising the latest generation of larger LFP battery cells, we’ve optimised energy density to enable our largest BEV loaders and trucks to operate 36 per cent longer between battery swaps. Our simulations show that customers will be able to eliminate one swap every shift in some applications.”

Purpose-built for underground mining and designed and manufactured in-house by Sandvik, the new battery maintains the modularity and ruggedness of the existing pack and features significant design improvements.

A revamped housing and increased rigidity enhance structural strength,

enabling the battery to better withstand shock and vibration. Laser-welded terminals provide a stronger connection with lower resistance, reducing energy loss and heat while improving efficiency and safety. Top and bottom cooling plates improve cooling performance to slow cell degradation and extend life. Key design improvements also include better ingress protection against dust and moisture.

The next-generation LFP battery cells are fully encapsulated in a non-conductive potting material, increasing thermal conductivity and reducing the risk of overheating and short circuit. Sandvik has also redesigned its battery management system for improved reliability and function. This safety feature monitors every cell’s temperature and voltage to ensure everything is within operational range.

Sandvik says the battery can be retrofitted into Z40, Z50, LH518B and TH550B units currently operating in the field. It is expected to be commercially available from Q4 2023 and equipped as standard on all new Sandvik BEV loader and truck orders.

Rio Tinto US Borax is the first open pit mine to switch all of its heavy machinery to renewable diesel

Rio Tinto’s Boron, California operation is the first open pit mine in the world to complete its move to renewable diesel. The Boron site produces a million tonnes of borates every year, for use in fertiliser and building materials. An initial trial of switching fossil diesel to renewable diesel in a US Borax haul truck was conducted through 2022 in partnership with Neste and Rolls-Royce, using Neste MY Renewable Diesel.

Made from materials such as used cooking oil and animal fat waste, the use of Neste MY Renewable Diesel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75 per cent over the life cycle of the fuel compared to fossil diesel, Neste says.

Rio Tinto has now fully transitioned its heavy machinery fleet onsite to renewable diesel, even using it in blasting.

Rio Tinto says this is a key step towards achieving its commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

“We are proud that our US Borax operations have become the first open pit mine to operate a fleet running entirely on renewable diesel,” Rio Tinto Minerals chief executive Sinead Kaufman says.

Next phase

The Snowy 2.0 pumped-hydro mega project has seen a second tunnel excavation completed at Lobs Hole in the Snowy Mountains

The 2.93-kilometre emergency, cable and ventilation tunnel (ECVT) has been excavated and fully lined with 13,140 locally-manufactured concrete segments by tunnel boring machine (TBM) Kirsten.

Snowy Hydro CEO Dennis Barnes says Snowy 2.0 was continuing to make solid progress, with around six kilometres of tunnelling by TBMs completed and drill and blast excavation of the power station cavern about to start.

“We are extremely pleased the ECVT excavation has been completed and the whole project team is excited to be moving into the next critical phase of construction. Our huge power station cavern will be located about 800 metres underground and will be one of the largest and deepest in the world.

“We are also using drill and blast methods to construct cross passages linking the ECVT with the MAT [main access tunnel].

“Meanwhile TBM Kirsten, which is setting a global standard in TBM technology, is being modified to carry out another very specific task – to excavate the inclined pressure

shaft and line it with speciallydesigned and locally manufactured concrete segments.

“The shaft is 1.45km long and excavating a segment lined tunnel of this length at a very steep 47 per cent incline using an 11-metre diameter TBM is without precedent internationally.”

Modifications to Kirsten include altering the levels of the TBM’s tanks and mechanical equipment so they remain horizontal when travelling up the incline, and converting the walkways into steps and ladderways. Also being installed is a screw conveyor to extract excavated rock from the cutterhead to a sandwich conveyor system with face-to-face rubber belts that help constrain the crushed rock so that it can be transported down the steep slope without spillage.

Additional plant and equipment will be installed in the ECVT tunnel to support the excavation activities, including an overhead crane, a conveyor transfer station, monorail manrider for personnel access and rack and pinion mechanism for plant access to the TBM.

Long leave EMPLOYMENT

The Construction Industry Portable Paid Long Service Leave Act 1985 was introduced to allow construction workers to carry long service leave benefits from employer to employer.

The Construction Industry Long Service Leave Payments Board, trading as MyLeave, is a statutory authority established to carry out the administration of the Act on behalf of eligible employees in the construction industry in Western Australia.

The primary purpose of the Act is to “make provision for paid long service leave to employees engaged in the construction industry and for incidental and other purposes”.

After 36 years since its introduction, the review will assess whether the Act remains fit-for-purpose.

Stakeholder consultation and submissions for the review will be sought shortly, and stakeholders with an interest in the construction industry will be given the opportunity to participate.

“The Construction Industry Portable Paid Long Service Leave Act is nearly four decades old and, in that time, has provided significant benefit to workers and employers in the construction industry,” WA Industrial Relations Minister Bill Johnston says.

“The time has come to consider opportunities for improvements to this Act to ensure it keeps pace with the evolution of the industrial relations environment and how it affects the construction industry.”

REMUNERATION

Hays flags expected salary increases

According to a survey, 90 per cent of Australia’s construction businesses are planning to increase salaries this year

Recruitment company Hays has released its Salary Guide for the 2023–24 financial year where it surveyed over 14,000 employers and professionals across the Australian construction industry.

The results show that 62 per cent of employers plan to increase salaries above 3 per cent.

“We’re calling this the year of the raise, where the promise of higher salaries reflects the intensity of the skills shortage in today’s jobs market,” Hays senior regional director of Hays Simon Bristow.

“This year, both the number and value of increases will rise, continuing the upwards trajectory we first noted in last year’s Hays Salary Guide.

“Despite the increased salary boost, employer and employee expectations in the construction industry still fail to align. Many construction professionals feel undervalued and underpaid. They feel their current salary doesn’t reflect their individual performance.”

According to Hays, there are four key factors motivating employers to increase salaries in their next review: competition amid a growing skills gap crisis; the ripple effect of

falling real wages, the impact of pay transparency; and ‘the great ask’ where more employees are prepared to ask for higher wages.

“Many employers find that the pipeline of skilled construction professionals doesn’t meet their needs,” Bristow says.

“As candidate supply continues to tighten, employers face increased pressure to proactively attract and retain talented employees.

“Employees still feel they have bargaining power and are more confident to negotiate for better pay.”

Other key findings of the report are that 48 per cent of construction employers are planning to increase their permanent headcount over the next 12 months, while just 49 per cent of construction professionals plan to remain with their current employer. The rising cost of living is cited as a reason for this, along with uncompetitive salaries and poor management styles or workplace culture.

Benefits outside of salary are also playing a significant role, with top benefits being training, a company car, a car allowance, onsite parking and career progression opportunities.

Helping hand

Free car rego for Victorian apprentices

Victorian apprentices will be able to get free vehicle registration from July 1, saving them up to $865 every year.

The $10 million initiative is being delivered in the Victorian Budget 2023/24 to ease financial pressure for trainees and apprentices across the state.

Apprentices who need their car for work are already entitled to a 50 per cent discount on their vehicle’s registration fee as part of the Trade Apprentice Registration Discount scheme – with over 12,000 apprentices and trainees currently taking advantage of the discount.

The scheme was introduced in 2016 to reduce costs for trade apprentices needing to use their own vehicle for work purposes, and expanded to border communities earlier in the year – giving apprentices who live in Victoria but work in New South Wales and South Australia the same savings as those who live and work in Victoria.

Eligible apprentices can apply for the free vehicle registration via the myVicRoads portal on the VicRoads website.

“We’re backing our hard-working Victorian apprentices and helping ease cost of living pressures by making vehicle registration completely free, saving eligible apprentices hundreds of dollars every year,” Premier Daniel Andrews says.

Member for Broadmeadows Kathleen Matthews-Ward adds: “Carpenters, joiners, bricklayers, plumbers, electricians and chefs in our outer suburbs rely on their vehicle to get to and from work every day – so this initiative will provide a huge benefit.”

Grant announcement

Apprentices facing financial or personal hardship will be supported to undertake their trade and study through a $2.25 million NSW government scholarship program

Applications are now open until July 21 for the 2023 Bert Evans Apprentice Scholarships program that will support 150 people with $15,000 each to complete their training and further their career.

The scholarships support apprentices who are experiencing financial or personal hardship, demonstrate a high aptitude for vocational education and training and are committed to their on and off the job training in metropolitan and regional NSW.

These scholarships greatly assist first year apprentices to undertake their trade and study to achieve their career goals.

“With demand for vocational education high, this year we have increased the number of Bert Evans scholarships on offer to help more apprentices through their training,” Minister for Skills, TAFE and Tertiary Education Tim Crakanthorp says.

“Whether you need to purchase new tools, cover fuel or car

The number of scholarships on offer has been expanded to 150

maintenance costs, or pay for additional training courses, these scholarships have helped people overcome personal barriers to finish their apprenticeships and go onto rewarding careers.

“Apprenticeships are vital in ensuring NSW has a pipeline of skilled workers, and we want to give our apprentices a helping hand to complete their training, so they can make a strong contribution in their jobs and in the lives of their families and communities.”

Act action

NSW to establish Building Commission to strengthen the quality of building and construction in the state

With the need for significant levels of new housing, the NSW government says the new Building Commission will provide house buyers with greater confidence in the quality of building work.

David Chandler was appointed as Building Commissioner two and half years ago, after cracks were found in Sydney’s Opal and Mascot Towers apartment buildings.

The government will also this year introduce to parliament its new Building Act, which will consolidate and modernise many pieces of legislation.

The government says its aim is to provide clarity to consumers and the sector about their rights and responsibilities and to incentivise the building sector to deliver quality homes.

“I’ve made clear we need more supply, there’s no two ways about it,” NSW Premier Chris Minns says.

“The pressure on the rental market is severe, and the government’s job is to get more supply into the system to help alleviate some of that pressure.

“But I want to provide confidence to the public that when we build, we’ll build properly.

“We want well-built, well-designed suburbs with top-tier buildings and top-tier builders.

“The Building Commissioner David Chandler has done a remarkable job cleaning up the construction industry. We want to expand on that and ensure can get supply moving while still maintaining public confidence in the quality.”

The Building Commission is expected to be established by the end of the year.

MINING

Fresh start

Mining to begin at Mount Carbine tungsten project

Full scale mining will begin soon at EQ Resources’ Mt Carbine tungsten project, about 130km northwest of Cairns.

Tungsten, also known as wolfram, is a critical mineral used in aerospace, construction and technology such as smartphones, solar panels, wind turbines and EV batteries.

Mt Carbine is currently Australia’s only primary tungsten producer, producing about 350 tonnes of concentrate a year from existing tailings and low-grade stockpiles.

Once open cut mining begins, production is expected to ramp up to between 60 to 90 tonnes a month.

The mine is located within Queensland’s North East Minerals Province and is a site for tungsten, molybdenum and tin.

“This is an important step forward for both Queensland’s growing critical minerals sector, and our renewable energy transition,” Queensland Resources Minister Scott Stewart says.

“Demand for critical minerals such as tungsten is increasing exponentially as the world moves towards decarbonisation.

“The transformation of this mine reflects one of the key themes of our Queensland Resources Industry Development Plan, which

is to provide new life for old mines.

“Importantly, this mine will provide up to 135 good, secure jobs for Far North Queenslanders, which will also mean economic benefits for the entire region.

“Together our Resources Industry Development Plan will work hand in glove with the Energy and Jobs Plan to help get these minerals out of the ground to build the solar panels, wind farms, electric vehicles and batteries we need for the future.”

EQ Resources CEO Kevin MacNeill adds: “Mt Carbine is already a major jobs provider in the region and will grow further in coming months as production ramps up.

“The open cut mine will provide a five-fold increase in grade quality which will allow us to become a global leader in tungsten supply.

“Our plan is for the Mt Carbine mining leases and surrounding exploration tenements to become a top three tungsten producer outside of China.

“We are also looking to make a major contribution to economic development in the Cairns hinterland including upgrading services and providing employment opportunities in a region hit hard by COVID-19 lockdowns.”

HEALTH AND SAFETY Best practice

SafeWork NSW is conducting a large-scale review of workplace health and safety codes of practice – the largest it will have completed in decades

SafeWork NSW has announced that 20 codes of practice are being reviewed to make them relevant to today’s workplaces.

Amongst the codes being reviewed is the Code of Practice for Moving Plant on Construction Sites, which first came into use in January 2004. The code encapsulates consultation and risk management, risks associated with moving plant on construction sites and other additional risks that need to be considered for achieving safe workplaces.

Other codes being prioritised by the NSW government include codes pertaining to work near overhead power lines, tunnels under construction and safety in forest harvesting operations.

A code of practice does not explicitly equate to, nor replace, work health and safety laws, but can be used to facilitate an easier understanding of what is required to be compliant within those work health and safety laws.

This review is being undertaken following a statutory review of the Work Health and Safety Act, which found that all pre-existing codes of practice should be reviewed in order to make sure health and safety practices are modernising at the same rate as technological developments and new work practices.

Climate positive

AECOM and the Infrastructure Sustainability Council have provided recommendations around how to build sustainability into preparation for the Olympic and Paralympic games

AECOM and the Infrastructure Sustainability Council have released a paper on how the Olympics and Paralympic Games can provide an opportunity to revolutionise the built environment and set a new sustainable paradigm for how infrastructure is designed, built, operated and maintained. With a focus on climate positivity, resilience and nature-based solutions, AECOM and the Infrastructure Sustainability Council have made a series of recommendations for the industry ahead of the Games, including:

• explore innovative renewable energy solutions, such as onsite renewable generation, alternative fuel sources, purchase power agreements and offset purchases;

• create a standardised framework to measure carbon emissions, not just based on cost, but also efficiency, whole-of-life outcomes and effectiveness of solutions;

• collaborate across local, state and federal governments to develop an integrated approach to climate modelling, measuring resilience and understanding risk;

• define resilience early and establish its scope, while considering shocks and stresses beyond those associated with climate change and extreme weather events;

• consider opportunities to position nature and the natural environment in a way that celebrates Australia’s natural

heritage prominently within the Games infrastructure, precincts and beyond;

• integrate First Nations knowledge and practice into standards, guidance and practice and bring together the wisdom and knowledge of Country to inform current and future practice for industry; and

• explore and promote communitycentred decision-making to support efforts to deliver a meaningful and lasting legacy.

“At AECOM, we are committed to leaving a positive, lasting impact on people and our planet through our Sustainable Legacies strategy”, AECOM chief executive for Australia and New Zealand Richard Barrett says.

“Brisbane 2032’s publicly stated commitment to deliver a climate positive Games will require a significant shift in how the industry approaches infrastructure development, embracing sustainable practices and innovative technologies to reduce carbon emissions, mitigate climate risks and create a lasting legacy.”

CONCRETE

Milestone marked

World’s largest pour of cement-free concrete takes place in London

The UK’s National Grid and its contractor Hochtief-Murphy Joint Venture (HMJV) have completed the world’s largest ever continuous pour of Earth Friendly Concrete at London’s Power Tunnels project.

736,000 litres of cement-free concrete were poured to fill the base of the 55m-deep tunnel drive shaft at National Grid’s Hurst Substation in South London.

The cement-free solution, developed by Wagners, uses a binder of ground granulated blast furnace slag and a fly ash geopolymer concrete system chemically activated by the use of industrial waste products instead of cement. The concrete reduces carbon by around 64 per cent, saving an estimated 111kg of CO2 per cubic metre poured.

“We are always looking for new ways to innovate and to now be using this carbon saving cement-free alternative to conventional concrete at scale and on site is exciting,” National Grid project director Onur Aydemir says.

“This world record-breaking pour also offers the opportunity to evaluate the technology ahead of future possible rollout across our network in England and Wales, demonstrating our ambition to achieve net zero construction across all our projects by 2025/26.”

EXCAVATORS

Upgraded design

HD Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe has launched the HW65A wheeled excavator and HX65A crawler excavator

The two new excavators from Hyundai replace the R55-9A and R55W-9A models, with a revised design and new technologies.

The operating weight has been increased to 6.0–6.5 tonnes, depending on specification, and both machines are now powered by Hyundai’s own Stage V diesel engine. This 2.4-litre motor delivers a maximum power rating of 48.5kW, with 248Nm of torque, and it drives a Bosch-Rexroth open centre hydraulic system, with Parker main control valves and an Eaton swing motor.

The hydraulic system is equipped with proportional joysticks as standard, with a ram lock switch mounted on the left-hand lever head. Double-acting breaker piping is also standard equipment and rotation piping is available as an option from the factory. The excavators feature an improved swing motor, offering increased operating speed and torque, boosting productivity in digging and loading operations.

The new cab design delivers improved space for the operator, with increased visibility and a fully adjustable and heatable operator seat. A revised air conditioning system provides optimised airflow within the cab and there are lower noise levels inside and externally. Bringing technology from larger Hyundai excavators, the compact machines now feature a 7 inch touchscreen monitor. This can be used to set auxiliary hydraulic flows for attachments.

Cabin working lights have been improved and there is now the option of full falling object guards at the front and top of the cabin, to provide additional protection on demolition and other hazardous operating sites. Rear and side view cameras provide improved visibility all around the machines.

Fair work

Master Builders Australia has aired its concerns that independent contractors may lose out if proposed fair work legislation changes go ahead

The federal government is considering changes to fair work legislation to close what is says a loophole in the difference between the rights and protections afforded to employees compared to independent contractors.

However, there are concerns that independent contractors who run their own businesses will be caught up in these legislative changes.

The government is looking to set minimum standards for workers in what it calls ‘employee-like’ work, including the gig economy, with a consultation paper released in April. The consultation paper describes independent contractors, like selfemployed tradies, as falling into this group of those undertaking ‘employee-like’ work but who do not have access to the same level of rights as employees.

The government also expresses concerns around the amount of bargaining power contractors can have; expressing an aim to achieve a level playing field for all industry participants.

With the emergence of the gig economy, where workers are generally engaged as independent contractors rather than employees, the government says that it is looking to address concerns around these workers being paid below minimum wage as well as suffering from a lack of access to other employee rights.

Master Builders has released its submission to the consultation paper, saying that “the federal government is proposing to force independent contractors to give up their business to become an employee” and urging it to restrict its scope to gig workers.

“The proposed ‘employeelike’ policy goes beyond the Government’s purported original scope of supporting gig workers and leaves the door open to swallow industries across the economy,” Master Builders Australia CEO Denita Wawn says.

“This includes well-established forms of work, including independent contractors and self-employed tradies.

“The building and construction industry is made up of around 440,000 businesses, with over 264,000 of them being independent contractors, representing one in five workers.

“For decades, the industry has attracted individuals who choose to go out and be their own boss and have the freedom to choose the hours they work, the projects they work on, who they work for and negotiate their own fees and conditions.

“If the policy is implemented as foreshadowed in this paper, it will fundamentally upend and damage the entire building and construction industry, which is

founded on a model of specialist contract work arising from the way in which building work is performed.

“The dynamic nature and array of specialist contractors required on a project mean it is simply not feasible for businesses to have to permanently employ independent contractors, and critically, it takes away the rights of independent contractors to run their own business.

“The ‘employee-like’ measure represents one of the most significant and real attacks on the rights of self-employed and independent contractors.

“The proposed changes pose a serious threat, introducing uncertainty, commercial risk, and negative consequences for the community, consumers and an industry already grappling with disruptions, economic uncertainty and high inflation.

“Master Builders Australia strongly urges the federal government to explicitly exclude the building and construction industry from their employee-like industrial law changes to protect the sector’s integrity and the rights of independent contractors.”

Victorian era

A new Melbourne branch for Toyota Material Handling Australia will take the company to the next level

Toyota Material Handling

Australia (TMHA) has opened a new Melbourne branch, which it says will create new opportunities for its clients.

Located on TMHA-owned land in the Melbourne suburb of Dandenong South, the 17,000 square metre space is all under one roof, and has a total of 12,140 square metres dedicated to warehouse and workshop space.

Designed to accommodate the assembly, sales, hire and servicing of forklifts, scissor lifts, skid steer loaders, sweepers and scrubbers, pallet jacks, elevated work platforms and automatic guided vehicles, the facility will also be the base of TMHA’s workshop and field services divisions.

The new facility also includes another 9,900 square metres of hardstand, specialised sealed and pressurised paint and preparation booths and a dirt demonstration area to showcase the brand’s Huski excavator range.

King move

Built tough for extreme conditions, Kaeser Compressors’ Mobilair M120 portable compressor is now available to order in Australia.

Kaeser says the machine can be used in quarrying, mining or blasting applications, able to deliver up to 11.3 cubic metres of compressed air per minute, or 400 cubic feet per minute.

It can run seamlessly on high-sulphur diesel, and continues operating in the green zone even when ambient temperatures reach above 50 degrees Celsius.

Equipped with a Tier 3 emissions Cummins engine, a certified spark arrester and an automatic engine shut-off valve, the compressor also features a new oil separator design with two spin-on cartridges, ensuring a low residual oil content for the compressed air.

It also has 4,110 square metres of office space over two levels, including open plan areas, meeting rooms, lunchrooms, a board room and a spectacular new reception area with a statement staircase.

TMHA plans to use the new facility as the base of its major and corporate accounts operations, as well as facilitating the sales and rental of its forklifts and other equipment.

As well as its inventories of new material handling and Huski equipment, the new complex has 935 cubic metres of space dedicated to storage of spare parts as well as training facilities for staff.

TMHA general manager of corporate compliance and project development Bob Walmsley says the new branch will allow for a greater level of usability and innovation for the TMHA brand.

“Our new state-of-the-art facility will offer more for our valued Victorian customers,” he says.

Start-up is at the push of a button; the machine then runs unloaded, thereby ensuring safe cold starts in all conditions. The display indicates the end of the warmup phase, after which the machine can be switched to load to begin generating compressed air.

The Mobilair M120 gives the operator two choices of pressure stages, one to a max. of 10.3 bar (125 psi) and the other up to 14 bar (200 psi), adjusting the maximum possible flow rate to match the pressure set at the controller thanks to its innovative pV control.

Depending on the desired application, the system can also be equipped with an aftercooler or a microfilter combination for technically oil-free compressed air.

Rather than being discharged from the machine, accumulating condensate is evaporated by the hot exhaust gases from the engine, ensuring eco-friendly operation.

The M120 is available as a construction site chassis equipped with parking brake, a road-going chassis fitted with a run-on brake and lights for towing on the public highway, or as a stationary version mounted on skids.

Integrated forklift guides and lifting eyes, which can be reached via climbing aids, are fitted as standard.
