This year, the guide has 150 listings of mobile crushers and screens from suppliers to the Australasian quarry market (refer to page 42 for an index of brands). Some brands in these pages are specialised multinational icons in the mobile market, eg Astec, Metso, Kleemann, McCloskey, Powerscreen, Sandvik and Terex Finlay. Other brands also boast impressive international credentials, but are lesser known to the Australian market (eg Lippmann, Nirox) or more renowned for earthmoving equipment (eg Komatsu, Hitachi). There are also many Australian and New Zealand brands that are expanding into the market, eg Precisionscreen, Striker, SCS and Rocktec.
Buyers should be mindful that some machines have multiple distributors within Australia. For example, Sandvik machines are logically available from Sandvik Mining and Construction, but can also be purchased from Brisbane-based Precisionscreen. Some distributors also are only licensed to sell brands in specific regions, eg McCloskey is distributed in Australia?s eastern states by Mobile Screening and Crushing, while 888 Crushing and Screening handles orders on the west coast. Therefore, when making inquiries about mobile equipment, be sure to contact the right distributor in your State or Territory!
As much as this guide strives to list as many suppliers as possible, please note that not all the suppliers of certain brands of mobile screening and crushing equipment will be acknowledged or credited (for example, some Nirox products in the past have been available through other suppliers, but in this guide only Minroc is credited). This is either because some suppliers, although invited to do so, chose not to provide information or were omitted because of obsolete and inaccurate information.
