Since December last year, Boral’s Heavy Mobile Equipment (HME) investment program has been in full swing. With 61 brand-new machines arriving in the last six months across 48 sites nationwide.
From Batemans Bay to Orange Grove, our teams are welcoming a new wave of high-performance assets designed to make work easier, safer and more efficient.
This is all part of our multi-year investment program that will see over 140 new HME assets delivered and 55 existing machines rebuilt by the end of 2025. So far, we’ve rolled out:
- 40 Front end loaders
- 14 new excavators
- 6 dump trucks
With assets going to our quarries, concrete, asphalt and recycling facilities. The impact is already being felt on the ground. Operators are reporting better visibility, more comfortable cabs, smoother controls and improved fuel efficiency.
The rollout is also a key step in putting our new asset management philosophy into action. By focusing on Safe, Compliant, Reliable and Optimised Assets (SCROA), we’re setting the foundations for better performance across the business.
“With more reliable assets in place, we can improve availability and uptime, which helps us move stock more efficiently to our customers,” said Paul Young, Head of Assets and Capital Projects. “It’s a vital part of lifting performance and supporting our people with the tools they need to deliver.”
And it's not just about the new gear. Major rebuilds are also underway to give existing assets a second life and strengthen reliability across the fleet.
Thank you to everyone involved in making this rollout a success so far. We’re not just investing in new assets, we’re investing in performance, safety and a better experience for our people.
More machines are on the move — and they’re coming your way soon.
