Dieci made for success

On a challenging waterfront construction site in Sydney, Dieci telehandlers are proving themselves indispensable by combining strength, manoeuvrability, and adaptability to meet the demands of a premium residential development.

Tucked into the final remaining foreshore land at Mortlake Point, the Mortlake Corsa development is one of Sydney's most exciting residential builds. Offering uninterrupted 180-degree water views, this boutique project is all about exclusivity, precision, and luxury, from its design to its delivery.

Behind the scenes, that same precision extends to the machinery on site.

For Made Property's Construction Director Darren Power, choosing the right equipment was critical to meeting performance and safety benchmarks and Dieci telehandlers have stepped up in every way.

"We're working in a very tight, high-expectation environment here," Darren said.

"Every stage of this project has required machinery that can handle tough tasks without compromising on safety or agility. That's where Dieci has consistently delivered."

At Mortlake, the team is operating a fleet of Dieci equipment, including the Apollo 25.6 and the Runner 40.13, two machines specifically suited to the site's physical constraints and variable tasks.

The Apollo 25.6, a compact yet powerful telehandler, is the workhorse for general lifting and material movement during the structure phase.

From manoeuvring formwork panels to offloading materials from trucks and relocating waste, it's handling multiple roles across the site.

“With a site compound this size, you need machines that can get into tight areas and still lift significant weight,” Darren said. “The Apollo is perfect for that.”

Despite its smaller footprint at just 4.125m long, 1.85m wide, and under 2m high, the Apollo 25.6 can lift up to 2500kg and reach 5.78m high, with a horizontal extension of 3.35m.

Its 74hp Kubota engine provides more than enough grunt for daily duties, and its reliability is a major asset when site schedules are tight.
