Japanese equipment manufacturer Komatsu has a
long and proud history in Australia and has played a
pivotal role in the country’s biggest engineering and
construction projects.

From the first Australian order in 1965, it took just seven
years for more than 500 Komatsu dozers and crawler
loaders to make their mark on construction sites across the
country, where their reputation for reliability and quality
exceeded expectations and set a new benchmark.
EXCEEDING
EXPECTATIONS
FROM THE VERY
BEGINNING

EXPANDING THE
RANGE TO MEET
DEMAND IN THE
1970S AND 1980S
Throughout the 1970s and 80s, Komatsu added dump trucks,
scrapers, excavators and graders to its existing range of
dozers, wheel loaders and crawler loaders. It was also during
the 1970s that Komatsu decided to commit to what it saw as
the future of earthmoving: hydraulic excavators.

As a trusted earthmoving equipment, parts and
attachment supplier to Australia’s mining and
construction sectors, Resolute Equipment sells and hires
out only the most reputed and reliable equipment.
NUMBER 1
IN THE WORLD
It was a goal Komatsu achieved. Throughout the
1990s, Komatsu outsold every other brand of
excavator and in Australia alone sold over 2,000
excavators to construction contractors, forestry and
mining companies, plant hire firms and quarries.

SAFETY AND
EFFICIENCY KEY
TO SUCCESS
Over the last fifteen years, Komatsu Australia has remained at
the forefront of the industry and has continued its commitment
to innovation with its FrontRunnerTM
autonomous hauler fleet
currently operating in Western Australia and the second
generation of Hybrid excavators hitting the market.
