This new partnership between Liebherr-Australia and Gold Fields, a globally diversified gold producer, will contribute to efficient and reliable large-scale production operations at one of Western Australia’s key gold mining sites in the Yamarna Greenstone Belt.

‘We are proud to welcome Gold Fields as a new customer and to support their operations with our excavators and our dedicated customer support team. This partnership reflects the strength of our mining portfolio and our commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance equipment to the Western Australian gold sector,’ says Trent Wehr, Liebherr-Australia’s managing director for mining.

Supporting performance in Western Australian gold mining

The introduction of these machines reinforces Liebherr-Australia’s footprint in Western Australia’s gold sector, where demand for high-performance, highly reliable equipment continues to increase.

‘Our expansion into Western Australia’s goldfields reflects a clear focus on supporting a broader mix of mining applications. The R 9600 and R 9400 are designed to deliver high material movement rates with efficient fuel consumption and simplified maintenance – which are key factors for operations in these environments. Combined with our established service network, we’re well positioned to support consistent performance across the full machine life cycle,’ continues Wehr.

Both the R 9600 and the R 9400 are particularly well-suited to goldfield applications as they are designed to deliver class-leading payload capacities and incredible reliability, helping to maximise productivity in demanding mining environments.

Liebherr-Australia continues to invest in its expanding fleet across the Western Australian goldfields, with a strong focus on service coverage, parts availability and technical expertise to maximise machine uptime.
