How many is too many? When it comes to Kobelco excavators, it seems that no amount is ever enough for Victorian earthmoving contractor LTE Construction Group.
Melbourne has been a hive of activity in recent years when it comes to construction work, as the city advances through Victoria’s Big Build programs.
And if you look at any of the many works being carried out in the city, chances are you’ll see that they’re carried out by LTE, a family-owned and operated foundation piling contractor, civil earthmoving contractor and transport provider, with a combined relevant industry experience of 40 years.
Operational manager Nemanja Maric said the love affair with Kobelco has lasted for the 18 years he’s been with company, with purchases of at least 40 of the blue machines in that time, and a total of 87 since the business began.
And there’s good reason for that.
Owned and started by Managing Director Nick Maric in 1998, LTE carries out tasks that range from bulk excavation, rock drilling, CFA piling, basement retention system design to various constructs.
The clients typically include major property developers, large construction builders, local and state government authorities, civil infrastructure companies, landfill operators and private developers.
“Our team consists of experienced engineers, piling and machine operators, truck drivers and traffic controllers,” Nemanja said.
"They have the capability to re-design projects to provide clients the greatest flexibility and most cost-effective solution for even the most difficult challenging projects.
“Our fleet comprises piling rigs along with a diverse array of heavy earthmoving equipment such as excavators, cranes, loaders, bulldozers, graders, compactors and truck and trailers.
“And of these, Kobelcos make up the majority. They’re resilient, durable, dependable, efficient.”
