A sustainable vision
At the heart of Australian Power Equipment’s ethos are three pillars that define its operations: safety and resourcefulness, a pathway to sustainability and community contribution. The company takes pride in its ability to think innovatively, ensuring jobs are equipped in the safest, most cost-effective and resource-efficient manner. Here, sustainability is not just a buzzword but a fundamental commitment.
For example, Australian Power Equipment recently acquired power and earthing transformers from a rehabilitated coal mining operation. By refurbishing and repurposing this equipment, the company played a pivotal role in a new renewables project.
Australian Power Equipment also contributes to the well-being of communities through sponsorships and donations. Its passion for supporting the rehabilitation and protection of Australian native wildlife showcases a genuine commitment to making a positive impact beyond the business realm.

Critical sourcing expertise
A commitment to exceptional customer service underscores their dedication to helping mining, infrastructure and renewables businesses make the best decisions for their operations.
Recent geopolitical conflicts and disruptions in international shipping have posed significant challenges for businesses globally. Australian Power Equipment, however, has strategically addressed this issue through its Critical Sourcing and In-stock solutions.
The company’s extensive network allows them to source critical equipment swiftly, ensuring that projects and sites can resume operations promptly. By repurposing stranded assets and offering refurbished and repurposed equipment, the company not only addresses immediate challenges but also contributes to a sustainable cycle of equipment use and reuse.
