EDITOR'S WELCOME
Issue 21 of Awesome Earthmovers features what is probably our most diverse set of site visits yet, from Sennebogen material handlers in Switzerland to Powerscreen screening equipment in the United States and Liebherr mining excavators in Australia.
On the cover we’re featuring Liebherr’s R9600 mining excavator, which has made a big impression on Australia based contractors, Thiess who have been utilising the 633 tonne machine at the Mount Pleasant mine in New South Wales.
We’ve chosen our cover story to coincide with MINExpo 2024 held from the 24th to the 26th of September in Las Vegas, Nevada. The quadrennial mining show features some of the world’s largest mining machines on display in the Central hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Awesome Earthmovers has been attending the show since 2012 and will be at the 2024 show to bring you the story along with video and photography.
We also report on a stump grinding machine belonging to Kingwell Holdings working in a forest in northern Scotland. A trip to Spain saw us get up close with a 75 tonne Liugong 975F excavator. We check out Olympic Organics Terex Ecotec trommel at their recycling facility on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. Read all this and more original stories in this issue.
