Plantman Equipment

What Plantman Equipment does

Plantman Equipment is a family-owned Australian company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Bellevue, Western Australia, that designs, builds, rents, sells, services, and parts-supports heavy mobile equipment for the mining, earthmoving, construction, and civil industries. Its core competency is custom-engineered mining service vehicles (service trucks, water trucks, diesel tankers, crane trucks, tipper trucks, flatbed tray trucks, mine buses, and light vehicles) built around a proprietary adjustable service module mounting system that allows the same module to be fitted to multiple cab chassis and configured for diesel, oil, water, coolant, and waste fluids, with specialist minespec modifications (mine bars, flags, fire suppression, refrigerant handling) and zero-spillage fuel delivery. The product surface extends into heavy earthmoving equipment (wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks, track dozers, motor graders, excavators, tyre handlers) and construction support equipment (fuel trailers, air compressors, diesel generators, mini excavators, skid steers, vacuum excavators), plus a semi-autonomous drill rod handler attachment.

Broad incumbents

• Liebherr Australia: Australian subsidiary of Liebherr, supplying mining trucks, excavators, and components into Australian resource projects. Comparable on mining equipment supply but operates as a global OEM with broader portfolio.
• Westrac (CAT dealer): Caterpillar dealer for Western Australia, New South Wales, and the ACT, supplying and servicing a large share of the same mining and construction equipment categories Plantman deals in. Comparable as an OEM-aligned fleet provider, though broader in scope and OEM-tied.
• Komatsu Australia: Australian subsidiary of Komatsu, supplying mining and construction equipment including wheel loaders, dozers, and excavators that overlap with Plantman's fleet. Comparable product categories but as an OEM rather than custom-builder/renter.
• Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia: Australian distributor for Hitachi excavators and mining shovels, with strong relationships to Pilbara and other Australian mining customers. Comparable as a mining-focused equipment OEM dealer rather than custom-build specialist.
• Hastings Deering: Caterpillar dealer for much of eastern Australia and parts of PNG, with deep mining customer relationships. Comparable as a broad equipment solutions provider servicing the same mining majors, though at materially larger scale.
• CJD Equipment: Volvo Construction Equipment and SDLG dealer in Australia, serving mining, quarrying, and construction end markets. Comparable as a national heavy equipment dealer with adjacent service capability.

Direct peers

• Tritan Equipment: Australian custom builder of mining service trucks and specialised heavy vehicles, closely comparable to Plantman's custom-build core (service trucks, water trucks, fuel trucks, lube trucks).
• Emeco Holdings: ASX-listed mining equipment rental operator specialising in heavy earthmoving equipment for Australian resource projects. Directly comparable on fleet composition (loaders, dozers, graders, ADTs) and tier-1 miner customer base.
• Onsite Rental Group: Australian mining and industrial equipment rental operator with national depot coverage similar to Plantman. Overlaps on mining service trucks, light vehicles, and general site equipment rental.
• Coates Hire: Australia's largest equipment rental company with a substantial mining and industrial fleet across the same geographies Plantman serves. Most directly comparable on rental and fleet services to Australian mining customers, though at significantly larger scale.
