MAKING A SPLASH IN AUSTRALIA

LIUGONG IS ACCELERATING ITS PUSH INTO THE AUSTRALIAN MINING INDUSTRY BY DELIVERING EQUIPMENT THAT MEETS OPERATIONAL DEMANDS AND SUSTAINABILITY GOALS.

- 

LiuGong, in partnership with McIntosh Distribution, is boosting its presence in the Australian mining sector through a fleet of purpose-built machines engineered for performance, value, and a low-emissions future. Long recognised in civil construction, agriculture, and local government, LiuGong is now bringing its proven capabilities to mining with a clear aim to deliver decarbonised productivity without the premium price tag.

"Tier 1 miners have well-documented decarbonisation goals," McIntosh Distribution mining and ancillary services Nick Groenenberg said.

"With the growing demand for battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), LiuGong, with the support of McIntosh Distribution, has become uniquely positioned to offer highly relevant mining solutions."

LiuGong operates across more than 170 countries with over 10,000 employees and more than 30 product lines from 20 manufacturing facilities.

This scale allows for rapid innovation and adaptation to local needs.

"Our manufacturing facilities are responsive and agile, able to accommodate design changes and customer-specific requirements," Groenenberg said.

"We routinely take customers and prospective operators to LiuGong's Global Research and Development Centre in Liuzhou, and the feedback has been unanimously positive."

Having built its Australian presence over two decades, LiuGong has earned a reputation for machine durability, serviceability and local support.

Its footprint is particularly strong in Western Australia, where its wheel loaders are category leaders.

"LiuGong wheel loaders have claimed pole position in the 10–30-tonne market segment, outselling global market leaders," Groenenberg said.

"With that trusted foundation, LiuGong is making a confident push into the mining sector with purpose-built products and proven performance."
