Lincom has invested heavily in making sure machinery is just a handshake away at its Perth branch.
The resources sector is the lifeblood of Western Australia. Whether it’s urban quarries or mines deep in the Pilbara, the state’s economy depends on production that rarely slows down.
These resources are spread across the massive state, often located in isolated regions far from urban centres.
Lincom general manager for Western Australia Mark Crestani said this isolation means having the right equipment on hand is vital for businesses.
“It’s very important to make sure that we have core stock available at all times,” he told Quarry. “The market is very reactive. It has a lot more contractors than the east coast who need to be ready with the right machines when the contract is signed.”
To support the Western Australian market, Lincom has invested significantly in stocking crushing and screening equipment at its Perth branch so that the company can deliver when it counts.
“It’s not just about having shiny gear on display; it’s about giving our customers a safety net,” Crestani said.
“When projects ramp up or unexpected breakdowns happen, our customers can count on us to step in with equipment that’s tough, reliable, and proven in some of the most challenging conditions out there.
“For example, we shook hands with a customer on lunchtime on Tuesday and by Wednesday morning the machine they bought was already on a truck heading to the Pilbara.”
Lincom’s line-up includes a range of Powerscreen’s popular products, including the Warrior 2400. Specifically designed for large scale operators in the quarrying and mining sector, the Warrior 2400 is capable of handling larger feed size and throughputs.
It features a heavy-duty incline screen with a high amplitude triple shaft drive mechanism, making it an ideal fit for screening, scalping, splitting, and stockpiling applications that need a throughput of up to 800 tonnes per hour.
Crestani said the Warrior 2400 has proven itself to be a hit, which is why the company keeps it available to purchase whenever possible.
“It’s a standout scalping screen,” he said. “It’s so versatile, the performance you can get out of the triple shaft drive mechanism is much greater than a single shaft screen.
“It allows it to have more momentum and to handle a greater range of applications. The Warrior 2400 has been used in quarries, mines, and even in organic processing.
“We have tried to always have a range of our ‘core’ machines available. This is a mixture of jaw crushers, cone crushers, scalpers and incline screens.”
Lincom works closely with its supply network to ensure it has ordered enough machines in advance from its suppliers and has them in stock at its Perth facility.
These include the Titan 1800, which is ideal for medium scale operations and applications, the Chieftain 1700X, which can handle around 500 tonnes per hours, and the Chieftain 2100X, which offers higher output and multiple product sizing.
Lincom also offers Powerscreen’s cone range, including the 1000 Maxtrak for compact aggregate production, the 1150 Maxtrak which can shape rock at 300 tonnes per hours, and the 1300 Maxtrak to handle some of the hardest rock and ore.But machines are only part of the offering. Crestani said that what happens after the sale matters much more than many would expect.
“Don’t underestimate the importance of good aftersales support,” he said. “Good support will end up saving you money over the lifespan of the machine.
“We’ve also invested in our people to help keep our machines going. Lincom aims to provide a solution for the entire service life of our products.
“Because we’re based in WA, we have a full-service team on the ground that can cover the entire state. Our staff have even gone through some of the highest levels of training from Powerscreen, giving us the expertise to quickly find and solve issues as they arrive.”
Lincom’s WA branch is entirely self-sufficient – it does not need to rely on the east coast or teams in the UK. The Perth branch maintains a vast range of genuine spare parts to ensure customers aren’t left waiting when something needs replacing.
The company also offers training programs for its customers so that operators know how to get the best out of the equipment and keep it running smoothly.
Crestani said WA businesses appreciated working with other locals.
“Being local means we’re just around the corner when you need us.
“You’re not dealing with someone on the other side of the country; you’re working with a team that understands the unique challenges of the region,” he said.
“That’s what Lincom WA is all about – reliable machines, fast availability, and the ongoing support to keep your business moving.” •
