In April 2025, the fabrication team at Liebherr-Australia’s Perth facility in Western Australia celebrated its 100th bucket fabrication. The milestone bucket has now been delivered to an iron ore operation in the Pilbara region of Western Australia and fitted to an R9600 excavator.
“This milestone is more than just a number – it’s a symbol of sustained excellence. Each bucket has represented countless hours of planning, hands-on expertise and a shared belief in doing things the right way,” says David Shaddick, fabrication supervisor for Liebherr-Australia’s Perth operation. “Guided by the team’s core philosophy, ‘Do it once, do it right and make it last’, the team has delivered every rebuild to the highest standard, meeting strict timelines, budget targets, and performance expectations.”
What began with a single reused bearing block 10 years ago and a small team of 12 has evolved into a proud legacy of precision and performance. Today, Liebherr-Australia’s Perth facility provides comprehensive aftersales support services to customers throughout Western Australia. The team not only repairs and refurbishes components for Liebherr’s entire range of excavators but also supports Liebherr mining trucks and dozers in the region. As well as this, the Perth facility supports customers through general works, internal boom inspections and repair and expert advice for onsite repair and maintenance needs.
