UHI Machinery Australia is continuing to expand its presence in Australia with a new warehouse in Queensland and an eye-catching range of great value micro to large excavators
UHI Machinery Australia (United Heavy Industries Australia) is an Australian-based machinery brand dedicated to supplying cost-effective, reliable equipment for construction, agricultural, landscaping and civil works markets.
With a comprehensive excavator product range from micro to mid-size units, UHI Machinery supports its customers through strategically located warehouses and a strong aftersales network across Australia.
To better support the Australian market, UHI Machinery Australia has expanded its warehouse network, with a new warehouse that has recently opened in Queensland.
“UHI’s Australian distribution footprint remains strong with multiple strategically placed warehouses to support our customers nationwide,” UHI Australia’s Ken Low says.
“Of our three new warehouses, our UHI Dandenong South facility in Melbourne spans approximately 2,200 square metres. We also operate from 3 Commercial Ave in Dubbo, NSW with a 1,500 square metre site, and our newest location is 1/1699 Ipswich Road in Rocklea, Queensland, which is about 4,300 square metres in size.
“Each site equipped to stock machines, attachments, and parts locally for fast service and delivery. This national footprint strengthens stock availability and enables faster delivery and aftersales support across all regions.”
Excavator range
From nimble 1-tonne machines to robust 13.5-tonne excavators, UHI Machinery delivers equipment to suit projects of every scale.
The UME10T is the smallest excavator in UHI Australia’s offering – a one-tonne mini digger with a 10hp (7.6kW) KOOP 192 engine, 1.3km/h travel speed, 0.02 cubic metre bucket capacity and a digging depth of 1,580mm. UHI Australia offers this machine in a package with nine attachments. With a compact design, UHI Australia says the UME10T is easy to transport and ideal for tight access jobs.

Best choice for operators
“Today’s mini excavator buyers want machines that are compact yet powerful, reliable on varied terrains, easy to transport between sites, and versatile with attachments for digging, trenching, and landscaping tasks,” Low explains.
“The UHI mini excavator range meets these needs with a suite of models from around one tonne up, offering expandable tracks for stability, intuitive controls for operator comfort, and general-purpose attachment kits that reduce the need for aftermarket spending. This has helped customers get more productive hours from their machines on day one, regardless of project scope.”
Low says that customer feedback on UHI Australia’s mini excavator range has been positive, with many owners appreciating the balance of capability and value UHI machines offer.
“Models like the UME12P and UME18S are frequently mentioned for their versatility in tight site conditions and ease of operation, making them go-to choices for landscapers, tradies and small civil contractors,” he says.
“The range’s combination of stable hydraulics, expandable tracks and comprehensive attachment packs has been particularly well received and often singled out as delivering strong performance at a competitive price point.”
