Thiess Mt Pleasant Excavator World Record

In July 2026, Thiess set a world record for the highest material moved in a 12-month period by a Liebherr R 9600 excavator, achieving 17 million bank cubic meters across 6,840 operating hours at MACH Energy’s Mount Pleasant Operation in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia.

This performance was delivered alongside a strong safety record, with the team also achieving 745 days LTI-free, reinforcing our commitment to both safe and productive outcomes.
