In mining operations where productivity, cost control, and reliability are critical, having the right tools for the job can make all the difference. That’s why LHS Rocktools Australia is committed to supplying the Australian mining sector with high-performance drill consumables that are engineered to meet the demanding conditions unique to this region.

With over 40 years of manufacturing expertise behind them, the company’s factory is renowned for producing durable, precision-engineered drilling tools that consistently deliver results. Backed by two decades of dedicated service in the Australian market, LHS Rocktools has built a reputation for reliability, value, and a deep understanding of what our customers need to stay ahead in a competitive landscape.

LHS Rocktools operates through five strategic branches across the country – Perth, Kalgoorlie, Melbourne, Charters Towers, and Cloncurry – ensuring fast, localised support wherever their clients work. Whether it’s in the goldfields of Western Australia or the copper-rich regions of Queensland, the company prides itself on being responsive to their operational challenges.

LHS Rocktools Australia Operations Manager, Fred Wang, explained that their core philosophy is simple—to provide quality drill consumables that offer the best value for money.

“We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach,” he said. “Instead, we work closely with each customer to ensure our products are optimised for their specific drilling conditions, whether it’s underground or surface, hard rock or fractured formations.”

Fred added, “We also recognise that great products alone are not enough. In today’s fast-paced mining environment, reliable and responsive service is just as critical. That’s why at LHS Rocktools, we deliver more than just tools, we deliver solutions.”

In addition to supplying essential drill consumables, LHS Rocktools provides comprehensive service support, including drill consumables refurbishment, onsite consumables management, and technical assistance.

“We know our customers are focused on drilling and meeting daily targets and there’s nothing more frustrating than unreliable support causing delays,” said Fred.

“That’s where we come in. We listen closely to our customers’ needs and tailor our service plans to match their operational requirements. Whether it’s managing site inventory, supporting trial programs, or providing hands-on troubleshooting underground, our team is always ready to step in. We’re also committed to integrating seamlessly into our clients’ existing systems, making it easy for them to rely on us as an extension of their operation. Whenever our customers need us, we’re just one phone call away. Our goal is to make sure they never have to worry about their drill consumables, we’ve got it covered.”

LHS Rocktools also recognise that drill consumables may not be the largest segment of the mining industry, but for those who rely on them, their performance is absolutely critical.

While the company has built a solid customer base nationally, they have never aimed to position themselves as a large corporate. Instead, they take pride in being a people-first, service-driven company.

“We see ourselves as a caring partner, not just a supplier,” emphasised Fred. “Looking after our customers, understanding their pressures, responding quickly, and supporting their goals will always remain our top priority.”

As the mining industry continues to evolve, so do the tools and technologies that drive it. LHS Rocktools actively invest in research and development to ensure their products meet the needs of modern drilling systems. Whether it’s designing tools capable of withstanding the intense demands of high-frequency drifters or optimising consumables for autonomous drill rigs, the team is constantly innovating to stay ahead of the curve.

This is achieved through collaborating with industry partners and operators to test new designs, materials, and configurations, ensuring all products are aligned with the latest advancements in drilling technology.

LHS Rocktools’ mission is to provide the Australian mining sector with not just what it needs today, but what it will need tomorrow. With a strong foundation in quality, service, and innovation, it is proud to be a trusted partner in the industry and committed to continuing that legacy for many years to come.
