The forklift professionals
Komatsu
Komatsu Forklift Australia’s engine range is purpose-built for mining, where durability,uptime and high-capacity performance are essential. Backed by the company’s heavy equipment expertise, these diesel machines are engineered with robust construction and dependable drive trains to perform in harsh conditions, with the FH Series, GX Series and specialised tyre handlers forming the core of the mining-focused lineup.
The FH Series is a standout in mining applications, combining diesel power with hydrostatic drive technology to deliver precise control and smooth handling under heavy loads. This makes it ideal for high-cycle tasks such as maintenance support,material transport and equipment handling across mine sites, while also helping reduce wear, fuel consumption and overall operating costs.
For larger-scale requirements, the GX Series offers heavy-duty forklifts in the 20–25t range, designed for extreme environments and oversized loads. These forklifts are suited to handling large, heavy components and bulk materials common in mining and infrastructure projects. Their reinforced construction and powerful diesel engines provide the strength and stability needed to operate safely and efficiently in rugged site conditions.
Complimenting this, Komatsu’s tyre handlers are purpose-built for safely transporting and fitting large off-the-road mining tyres – an essential function that helps minimise down-time and maintain productivity. Together, these models underline Komatsu’s focus on delivering reliable, high-performance solutions tailored to the demands of the mining industry.
Carer
Carer has established itself as a global leader in high-capacity electric forklifts, offering a strong alternative for mining operators looking to reduce emissions without sacrificing performance. With Komatsu Forklift Australia now the official distributor,this technology is more accessible to local operations, bringing electric lifting solutions of up to 20t into industries traditionally dominated by diesel equipment. For mining environments under increasing pressure to improve sustainability, Carer’s range presents a practical pathway forward.
Beyond environmental benefits, Carer fork-lifts deliver long-term cost advantages that are particularly relevant in high-utilisation mining settings. Reduced maintenance needs, lower energy costs and fewer moving parts contribute to a lower total cost of ownership, while quieter operation and reduced vibration improve both operator comfort and site safety. These efficiencies are critical in operations where uptime and productivity directly impact profitability.
Leading the range, the A Series is engineered to replace diesel forklifts in heavy-duty applications, offering capacities from 8 to 20t with the power and endurance required for demanding mining tasks. The Z Series extends this capability into extreme-duty environments, while the F, K and R Series provide flexible solutions for work-shop handling, container movement, and site logistics
Together, Carer’s lineup demonstrates that electric forklifts can now meet the scale,strength, and reliability required in mining,enabling operators to future-proof their fleets while improving efficiency and sustainability.
CVs Ferrari
Komatsu Forklift Australia’s partnership withCVS Ferrari brings a new level of capability to mining and heavy industry, introducing a globally recognised range of heavy-duty and super heavy-duty material handling equipment to the local market. As the official Australian distributor, Komatsu now offers access to CVS Ferrari’s specialised forklifts, container handlers, and reach stackers – machines designed for extreme applications where high capacities, rugged performance and reliability are critical. For mining operations, this expands the available solutions for handling oversized loads, containers and bulk materials in some of the harshest working environments.
At the core of the CVS Ferrari lineup are its heavy-duty and super heavy-duty forklifts up to 52t, built to manage large components and high-load tasks commonin mining and infrastructure projects.These machines are engineered withreinforced structures, powerful drivetrains and high lifting capacities to support demanding operations such as equipment maintenance, component transport and yard handling. Their durability and stability make them well suited to mine sites, where reliability under continuous, heavy loads is essential.
Complimenting this are CVS Ferrari’s container handlers and reach stackers, which are particularly valuable for mining operations with port, rail or intermodal requirements. Designed for efficient container movement and stacking, these machines enable faster, safer handling of materials across supply chains, supporting both on-site logistics and export operations.
Together, the CVS Ferrari range strengthens Komatsu’s mining offering, delivering high-performance, specialised solutions that enhance productivity and efficiency across large-scale industrial environments.
