diggers and attachments to excavators,

wheel loaders, heavy duty buckets and

gantry cranes.

Austrac’s excavators will range from

1.8 tonnes to 33 tonnes and front end

wheel loaders will range from 10 to 16

tonnes. Austrac is also about to release

a line of lifting and material handling

equipment including gantry cranes and

lifting attachments for telehandlers and

excavators.

Managing Director Ray Palmer said:

“Reliabiilty of our products is paramount.

What we are trying to achieve is to use our

international buying power to purchase the

highest quality components but without

a middleman. The middleman being an

Australian importer of the same product.

“By cutting out the middleman, and

Work Smart Equipment (WSE) has launched

the Cormidi 600 Mini Tracked Dumper.

This mini dumper features a 600kg capacity

bucket, greater stability and lower ground-

bearing pressure with an additional rocking

roller in the tracked system. It has a narrow

width (695mm) and high tipping height

(1.675m), making it perfect for narrow access

and difficult job sites. Other features include

a sound deadening engine canopy and a new

style ergonomic control panel, extra rocking

roller in rubber tracked system ensures stability

and minimises ground damage, and optional

fold down ride-on operator platform.

The Cormidi 600 is used to transport bulk

materials on and off work sites, reducing

manpower and injuries. Fully hydrostatic

controls and hydraulics ensures machine

performance, safety and easy handling over

mud, rocks, debris, steps and steep terrain.

They are low maintenance and reliable and

can be used with other micro machines.

Toro Australia added a range of compact

construction products to its line-up in

2011 including compact utility loaders, a

trenching machine and a stump grinder.

The Toro W320-D diesel compact utility

loader makes it easy to dig, haul, plant

and build with each wheel individually

controlled by four paw hydraulic traction.

With a single 15L fuel tank, a fuel

efficient liquid-cooled 20HP Kubota diesel

engine and internal hydraulic system,

the model matches or exceeds the lifting

capacity of its rivals, Toro said.

Over 35 different attachments can be

interchanged, including a high speed

trencher, leveler, soil cultivator and cement

mixer all matched to complement the Toro

range of wheeled and tracked loaders.

Toro TX525 Loaders have zero radius turn

capability and are available in a narrow-

track model of 85.6cm wide, and a wide-

track model of 104cm. Both versions have

a 18.6kW (25HP) Kubota diesel engine and

Toro TX patented control system.

With over 35 optional attachments,

operators can haul, auger, trench, lift, bore,

scoop, grade, dig, level, till, cultivate, rake,

rip, tow, demolish, sweep and more.

The TRX26 trencher works fast and

straight and the tracks provide a low centre

of gravity and large footprint that increases

maneuverability without creating ruts.

The TX control system permits driving

with one hand while adjusting boom depth

with the other. This model can trench up to

122cm deep and 203cm wide.

The compact STX26 Stump Grinder

features Toro’s patented TX-Style control

system with two user-friendly levers to

operate all traction and grinding functions.

The STX26 Stump Grinder has tracks

instead of wheels, which provide a light

footprint, low centre of gravity and

Expanding into lifting and materials handling

Austrac has expanded its range to include

excavators

buying direct from the overseas component

manufacturers, we are able to bring

products to the market such as excavators

and wheel loaders that use the same

engines, valves and drives of other well-

known brands, but without the high price

tag associated with buying those same

products locally.”

“Austrac’s popular range of mini diggers

is also about to become larger with the

successful testing of two diesel model

machines,” Ray said.

“Research and design costs great time

and money, but when the final result is like

what we’ve just seen, all the hard work

becomes worth it. We are really looking

forward to releasing these diesel machines

into the Australian market.”
