Proven performance in the Pilbara

Recently filmed on site, Liebherr-Australia'a latest testimonial video captures the perspective of the Thiess team as they share their experience working with the T 264s in real-world conditions.

Operating in Pilbara conditions

Mining in Western Australia’s Pilbara region presents a challenging environment, with high temperatures, abrasive materials and demanding production schedules. Kathryn Harrison, mining manager for Thiess, highlights the performance of the T 264s.

‘What we’re looking for in our machinery is that it can withstand those extremes of temperature, presence of dust, wet weather conditions, as well as hauling some serious dirt,’ she says.

That expectation is being met in day-to-day operations. Thiess’ maintenance manager, Rob Sue, reinforces Harrison’s point, noting the trucks’ consistent performance despite the harsh environment. ‘Despite the conditions, the trucks have performed. So, we can’t ask any more of the product than that.’

Supporting performance through partnership

Collaboration between Thiess and Liebherr-Australia ensures fleet performance is maintained through technical support and local expertise from Liebherr-Australia's Perth branch.

‘The support from Perth has been phenomenal,’ says Sue.

This partnership keeps trucks operating efficiently and reliably in one of the world’s toughest mining environments.
