Wheel Loaders
John Deere’s production class P-tier wheel loaders can be counted on to maintain high production levels, day in and day out. Ideal for stockpile handling and loading tasks at quarry sites and asphalt or concrete batching plants, John Deere wheel loaders will keep workflow at your plant running efficiently.
From John Deere’s continued dedication to improving durability and efficiency, the P-tier (L Series) range introduces a unique boxed configuration Quad Cool cooling system, improved positioning and access to service points, better protected electrical and hydraulic routing, and more power for less fuel consumption. With minimised load rollback and the power to carry enhanced performance buckets, expect optimised loading productivity with every cycle.
Riding on high-capacity, heavy-duty axles, with fully locking optional rear differential, a robust Transmission Control Unit (TCU), and offering abrasion resistant tyre options with pressure monitoring, your John Deere utility wheel loader will roll through heavy lifting and loading jobs with minimal fuss.
Articulated Dump Trucks
We understand that productivity and safety are the two key requirements for any aggregate or quarry facility. John Deere’s range of articulated dump trucks, from 24 to 42 tonne, offer an impressive list of standard and optional features to safely deliver maximum work output in the harshest of environments.
Integrated safety technology, combined with a focus on operator comfort and ease of maintenance, will put you in the best position to maintain high levels of production while reducing risks to your ADT fleet and operator team. Optional features such as tyre pressure monitoring system with temperature compensation, onboard weighing system with external load lights, auto-lube system, dump body tailgate, speed limiter, remote park-brake release, and operator 4-point harness provide extended risk mitigation for savvy owners. Trained operators can manage rollover protection by setting limits for the rear-chassis level when unloading.
John Deere’s current series ADTs introduce greater efficiency and productivity, with beefed-up reliability from more robust sensors and simplified hydraulic and electrical routing.
Excavators
Excavators play a key role in traditional quarry and aggregate operations in Australia, working at the face or gravel pit, sorting, digging and loading raw materials into dump trucks or conveyor systems. Also playing a direct role in extraction of primary rock with hydraulics breakers, drum cutter, and ripper attachments, the multi-tasking capability of a John Deere excavator fleet offers greater flexibility and productivity across your site and processing plant. Working alongside crawler dozers, your John Deere excavator can be put to work building settling ponds and access roads, and removing overburden during new site preparation.
The rugged construction and simple operation of John Deere’s mid-size excavator range delivers productivity for bigger profit margins, with uncomplicated maintenance and servicing supported by a national network of RDO branches and field service partners.
Surface Miners
For quarry operators subject to constraints on noise, ground vibration, and dust emissions, a Vermeer Terrain Leveler offers clear advantages over drilling, blasting and ripping methods, with comparable production rates and operational costs and a reduced environmental footprint.
The top-down cutting method of a Vermeer surface miner allows quarry operators to extract a more consistent sized product, reducing the reliance on a primary crusher, making these machines a more modern and cost effective alternative for many scenarios. Additionally, horizontal cutting is more effective at extracting veins of material without blending the adjacent materials, leading to a higher-value end product straight out of the ground.
Dozers
John Deere L-Series Crawler Dozers are designed to be more productive than ever before, with class leading horsepower, weight?, and the largest blades in their size classes. A John Deere dozer will deliver incredible power and tractive ability for ripping and pushing work – right at home opening new levels for open cut extraction quarries. Assisted by grade control technology, levelling and preparation to provide safe access for other site machinery…
With a John Deere dozer you can explore several configuration options suited to rock and aggregate extraction, like outside dozer blade (available on 750L and 850L), Long Track (LT) track gauge and Extended Life track protection, HD ripper, and suspended double-bogie undercarriage (available on the 1050K).
