With an updated mining bucket range and a new dedicated bucket facility in Australia, Austin is cementing itself as global leader in bucket design, engineering, and manufacture.

Integrating Australian bucket manufacturer, Mainetec, into the business, Austin now has one of the largest bucket ranges on the market, offering cutting edge, lightweight buckets with faster loading and more payload delivery for its mining customers.

Complementing Mainetec’s operations in Queensland, on Australia’s East Coast, Austin has transformed its Perth facility on Australia’s West Coast into a large, dedicated bucket specialist centre. The centre is the largest bucket build and rebuild facility in Western Australia, servicing Austin’s long term mining clients.

With Austin’s key manufacturing facility in Batam, Indonesia also able to assist with bucket manufacture, Austin has the capacity and capability to design, manufacture and deliver to customers on time anywhere in the world.

The increased capacity and interest in the new product range has driven bucket sales to record levels, with Austin now producing and delivering more than three times the buckets per month than it was per year back in 2021. Austin has also invested in initiatives to reduce manufacturing and rebuild turnaround times to support operational efficiencies on customer mine sites.

Austin’s engineering team draws on more than forty years of bucket engineering experience and investment in design to create customised buckets. From High Performance (HP) lightweight buckets through to heavy-duty armoured buckets, Austin can custom engineer buckets to suit any application.
