A Rail-Ready Solution for Pilbara Projects
At Finmec, based in Port Hedland, we continue to invest in equipment that meets the demands of the Pilbara’s rail and mining industries. Our latest addition, the Liebherr A 922 Rail Litronic excavators, strengthens our ability to deliver reliable, rail-ready equipment hire for projects across the region.
The Pilbara’s rail infrastructure is essential to the movement of resources across Western Australia, and maintaining it requires machinery that’s powerful, adaptable, and built for harsh conditions. The A 922 Rail Litronic offers exactly that — a dual-mode excavator capable of working both on-rail and off-rail, making it ideal for rail maintenance, track upgrades, and material handling throughout Port Hedland and the Pilbara.

Designed for the Pilbara’s Harsh Conditions
Operating across the Pilbara means working in extreme heat, red dust, and remote terrain. Reliability is everything. The Liebherr A 922 Rail Litronic was chosen because it’s built to perform where others can’t.
This versatile rail excavator can work both on-rail and off-rail, offering exceptional flexibility for our crews in Port Hedland and surrounding Pilbara project sites. With its advanced hydraulic system, heavy-duty design, and industry-leading stability, it’s ideal for track maintenance, sleeper replacement, and material handling — all essential to keeping the region’s rail network operating smoothly.
“Reliability and safety are non-negotiable when you’re supporting rail operations across the Pilbara,” said Daniel Finch, Managing Director at Port Hedland–based Finmec. “The Liebherr machine has proven itself both in performance and in the backup support from their team — they’ve really delivered on their promise of service.”
Why Liebherr — Service That Matches Performance
For us, choosing Liebherr wasn’t just about specs on paper. It was about the people and the after-sales support that comes with it. From the first call to commissioning, Liebherr’s service team worked closely with us to ensure the setup was perfectly suited to our Port Hedland rail operations.
“From enquiry to delivery, the customer service from Liebherr was excellent,” Daniel explained. “They took the time to understand our needs for rail projects across the Pilbara, ensuring the configuration and support met the exact requirements of our environment. Their after-sales responsiveness has been second to none.”
In a region where downtime is costly, that level of partnership makes a measurable difference. Reliable machinery backed by proactive service allows us to deliver on our commitments to clients across the Pilbara rail corridor.
Supporting Clients Through Dry Hire
For Finmec, the decision to purchase Liebherr’s A 922 Rail Litronic machines came down to reliability, service, and client support.
“We bought the machines to support one of our clients in rail maintenance who will be dry hiring them,” said Daniel Finch, Managing Director at Port Hedland-based Finmec.
This investment ensures that the client has access to high-performance, rail-certified machinery that’s backed by local maintenance and parts support through Finmec’s Port Hedland facility.
Features That Deliver in the Field
The Liebherr A 922 Rail Litronic is purpose-engineered for rail applications, offering key advantages for Port Hedland and Pilbara operators:
- Dual-mode operation: Seamless transition between rail and ground work for maximum flexibility.
- Powerful hydraulic system: Delivers the strength needed for lifting, tamping, and excavation tasks.
- Integrated safety systems: Enhanced operator visibility, stability control, and overload protection.

Every investment we make is about strengthening local capability. Adding the A 922 Rail Litronic to our Port Hedland-based hire fleet supports not just one client, but the region’s broader rail and infrastructure ecosystem.
“Our clients know they can rely on us to supply dependable, rail-ready machinery backed by local maintenance expertise,” said Finch. “The A 922 Rail Litronic gives them the confidence to deliver projects safely and efficiently — whether they’re working in Port Hedland, Newman, or anywhere across the Pilbara.”
