Highlights
- On 5 February, Liebherr-Australia commissioned five PR 776 dozers for Northern Star Resources Ltd – the first of 13 brand-new Liebherr machines for this customer.
- Alongside these first five PR 776s, the fleet will include a further two units of the 70 t dozer, five R 9150 excavators, and an R 9400 excavator.
- All 13 of these machines will be commissioned throughout 2025 and most will go to work at the Super Pit in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia – one of the largest gold mines in Australia.
- These new machines will be joining Northern Star Resources’ existing fleet of four R 9400 excavators that first arrived to site in 2022.
The commissioning of these new machines will bring the total number of Liebherr machines in Northern Star Resources’ fleet to 17. Liebherr-Australia delivered Northern Star Resources’ first Liebherr machine – an R 9400 excavator – back in 2022, followed by three more in consecutive years.
