Recently, Liebherr engaged in a conversation with Matthew Burton, Business Development Manager at Sandbelt Industries. Over the past six years, Sandbelt Industries has relied on Liebherr wheel loaders with exceedingly positive results.
Sandbelt Industries story
Sandbelt Industries has been a supplier of quality raw materials to the building and construction industry since 1985. Their extensive experience underscores their position as leading distributors of sports sands, construction materials, aggregates, and soils. Specialising in turf sand, they have supplied materials for many projects such as AFL Football Grounds, Selection of Melbourne’s finest golf courses, Sporting grounds for local governments, prestigious horse racing tracks, and bowling greens. Their sand finds use in the construction and maintenance of sports fields, golf course greens, tees, bunkers, and fairways.
As a qualified Industrial Chemist, Matthew has over 30 years of experience and knowledge in producing sand products, and he works closely with their clients to ensure their products meet exact specifications. Their capacity for mass production, testing, and on-site storage ensures prompt delivery upon request. Leveraging technology, they offer clients with up-todate tracking services enabling them to know what time their delivery will arrive onsite. Their fleet of modern low emission vehicles are appropriately sized, allowing Sandbelt Industries to deliver to sporting grounds, golf courses and other sites where there is limited sizing access.
Sandbelt Industries’ longstanding relationship with Liebherr spans six years, during which they have found Liebherr machines to be reliable and well-suited to their operations. This relationship has enabled them to customize machine features, such as buckets, to align with their specific business needs. Additionally, they appreciate the fuel efficiency of Liebherr wheel loaders, a critical factor amid rising fuel costs.
In addition, driver comfort is critical to Sandbelt Industries, and they like Liebherr’s joystick steering for reducing shoulder strain and enhancing operator comfort. They have also experienced excellent support from the Liebherr teams, who demonstrate a deep understanding of their requirements.
Looking ahead, Sandbelt Industries anticipates requiring further equipment and looks forward to continued collaboration with Liebherr to acquire suitable machines.
Liebherr XPower wheel loaders
Liebherr-XPower is a complete, innovative machine concept that sets new standards in terms of fuel efficiency, power, robustness and comfort. The power-split travel drive combines the hydrostatic drive, which is optimal for short loading cycles, with the mechanical drive, the advantages of which come to the fore when driving long distances and uphill. The combination of both drive types in one wheel loader ensures maximum efficiency and outstanding fuel savings for all requirements.
• Performance: The powerful Liebherr L 550 XPower® – L 586XPower® wheel loaders excel with their high handling capacity in quarrying operations. XPower® offers the greatest level of efficiency and maximum output in all areas, regardless of whether the distances are long or short, or whether the ground is level or even has an incline. This increases productivity in all work cycles and improves profit for the customer.
• Economy: The Liebherr-XPower driveline with LiebherrPower-Efficiency (LPE) achieves a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 30 %. In addition, there is minimal tyre wear and hardly any brake wear. At maximum handling capacity and efficiency, this reduces operating costs significantly, further increasing profitability.
• Reliability: Liebherr wheel loaders provide maximum performance even under the toughest and most challenging conditions in surface mines. The components of the Liebherr-XPower wheel loaders are extremely rugged and low-wear. XPower® ensures a long machine life and reliability in use.
• Comfort: The modern ergonomic cab design provides the operator with maximum comfort enabling him to concentrate on accurate operation without fatigue, which once again means more safety and productivity. The Liebherr control lever, which is built into the operator’s seat as standard, allows precise and sensitive control of the machine. The generous glass surfaces and the design of the engine hood, which has been optimised for viewing, provide excellent all-round visibility. This ensures maximum safety for people, the machine and the load.
