Onetrak was announced as the new dealer throughout Australia in a company statement at the beginning of September.
Onetrak managing director David Hazell told Quarry that Onetrak had been on the lookout for a suitable crushing and screening supplier for approximately 18 months before Striker approached the company.
“When Striker approached Onetrak about a year ago it quickly became apparent that we had found a quality manufacturing company with an already large presence in the Australian market and a reputation for building strong, productive and very durable equipment,” Hazell said.
“In that context, Onetrak will be one of the few heavy equipment suppliers in Australia that will be able to deliver holistic quarry supplies from the shot rock on the quarry floor to the sales loader.”
Hazell confirmed it would be stocking Striker’s full range of mobile equipment, including crushers, screens and conveyors. It would also be stocking aftermarket components for its machines.
‘Mainstream products supplier’
When asked why Onetrak – whose portfolio includes Hyundai Construction Equipment wheel loaders and excavators and Dressta’s two-speed tracking dozers – decided to diversify into the mobile crushing and screening market, Hazell said Onetrak had already expanded by developing a network of workshop facilities and mobile service trucks that supplied and serviced heavy off-road vehicles.

According to Hazell, the partnership would benefit Onetrak’s customers as it would now be a “mainstream quarry products supplier” with a wide range of equipment on offer to the industry.
“As a dealer for other products such as wheel loaders, dozers, excavators and rockbreakers, we believe that with the addition of Striker, Onetrak is one of the very few crushing and screening distributors in Australia that can package front to back equipment solutions for clients,” Hazell said.
“The team at Onetrak is excited about our future with Striker and we are proud to be the Australian distributor of such a quality product.”
The first Striker crushers will arrive in Australia in late November.
