Liebherr R 9150 excavator heads to Mount Arthur mine as part of Mineco partnership
Earlier this month, Liebherr-Australia celebrated its new partnership with Mineco – an Australia-based mining services provider – with the handing over of a brand-new R 9150 excavator.
The delivery of this machine marks a milestone for Liebherr’s commitment to delivering high-quality mining equipment in the Australian mining market. This machine will go to work at Mount Arthur coal mine in New South Wales, Liebherr says.
The commissioning of this excavator highlights Liebherr-Australia’s continued growth in the 150-t 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, the OEM says.
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-t class. Steven Arthur, Director of Mineco, says it was Liebherr-Australia’s reputation for providing high-quality products and comprehensive local support that were deemed key factors in their decision to install Liebherr equipment in the company’s mining fleet.
Arthur said: “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.”
Daniel Simone, Liebherr-Australia’s Key Account Manager, said: “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.”
Liebherr-Australia says it 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.
Simone added: “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.”
Arhur added: “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.”
