The latest delivery included three additional PR 776 mining dozers and three R 9150 G7 100-tonne class excavators for the Kalgoorlie Super Pit. Liebherr also delivered one R 9400 G6 400-tonne class excavator and an R 9150 G7 100-tonne class excavator to Northern Star Resources’ Bannockburn Operation. An additional R 9150 G7 100-tonne class excavator is scheduled for delivery to the Kalgoorlie Super Pit in 2025.
Delivering machines that drive performance
The delivery of these machines further cements the adoption of Liebherr equipment in the Western Australian Goldfields.
‘Liebherr-Australia is thrilled to continue to strengthen our partnership with Northern Star Resources through this latest delivery,’ says Matthew Gibson, key account manager for Liebherr-Australia. ‘The R 9150 excavators are built to meet the demands of modern gold mining, providing a performance and durability uplift in the class, and the delivery of the PR 776 dozers further expands our footprint in the region for this increasingly popular machine.’
‘This milestone reflects our commitment to the region and validates our investment in a local branch in Kalgoorlie, which enables us to provide significant parts and service support to assist our customers to maximise equipment performance and uptime,’ continues Gibson.
PR 776 dozers and R 9150 excavators are powered by Liebherr’s proven D9512 V12 engine that is designed to complement Liebherr’s mining equipment, ensuring the durability, efficiency and performance standards demanded by gold mining operations.
‘With an increasing number of Liebherr engines now in Australia across our D95 and D98 ranges, customers are experiencing the benefits firsthand. These engines deliver the performance and reliability expected of Liebherr equipment, with the security and back-up of OEM-quality components,’ adds Gibson.
Growing partnership in the Goldfields
Liebherr-Australia is set to deliver an additional R 9150 excavator to Northern Star Resources later this year, bringing the total number of Liebherr machines in the miner’s Western Australian fleet to 18.
‘Our collaboration with Northern Star Resources is an important example of how we partner with customers to deliver long-term value,’ says Daniel Law-Davis, operations manager at Liebherr-Australia. ‘Beyond the machines themselves, it’s about providing trusted support and ensuring we’re aligned with our customers’ growth ambitions. The expansion of their fleet with our excavators and dozers highlights confidence not only in Liebherr technology, but also in the service and support we provide locally. We remain committed to delivering equipment and solutions that enable our customers to achieve safe, efficient and sustainable operations.’
