LiuGong dozer boosts operator training
Earthmoving Equipment Magazine
|December 2025 - January 2026
With the arrival of a new LiuGong LD20D Dozer, a training agency is set to expand its practical training capabilities, giving machinery operators greater access to real-world, competency-focused learning.
-
LiuGong has delivered a new LD20D Dozer to All Class Training in Newcastle, an investment that supports hands-on, industry-ready training for operators throughout the Hunter region.
The machine was supplied by Aztech Group, LiuGong's dealer for the Hunter Valley, Northwest and New England regions.
All Class Training Owner Anthony Merrick said the decision to purchase the 20-tonne dozer came after a surge in demand from companies for nationally certified dozer operator training.
"We've had a lot of requests for competency-based dozer training, and rather than hiring a machine each time, it made sense to purchase one — especially once I saw the LD20D at the AgQuip Field Days," Anthony said.
