Lincom Group Finalist Australian Bulk Handling Awards
From helping a sand producer in Western Australia lift throughout by 73% to delivering a mobile ship-loading solution in Tasmania, no two projects look quite the same.
What connects them is the thinking behind each one, understanding the challenge, finding the right solution and supporting the equipment long after it arrives on site.
This approach earned Lincom to being a finalist in two categories at the 2026 Australian Bulk Handling Awards: Supplier of the Year and Excellence in Conveying on 16 September 2026 at the ONE23 Rooftop in Melbourne.

As a wholly Australian-owned family business that has spent more than 30 years helping keep material moving, the double nomination is an exciting acknowledgement of both the breadth of the company’s capabilities and the work happening behind the scenes.
While the two nominations highlight very different projects, both reflect the same way of working.
Our Excellence in Conveying nomination takes the story to Bell Bay in Tasmania, where a highly specialised ThorStacker™ T170x54 is supporting East Arm Resources and Australia’s emerging offshore wind supply chain.

The project presented a demanding combination of requirements. The system needed to operate within a space-constrained port, handle armour rock measuring up to 375 mm and load material directly from ground level. It also needed to avoid the permanent ramps, extensive civil works and fixed infrastructure commonly
associated with traditional ship-loading operations.
The answer was a custom-built, fully mobile ship-loading system designed to move with the demands of the port. Paired with a specially designed low-level vibratory pan feeder, the track-mounted ThorStacker™ can be loaded at ground level without additional site preparation. Its self-propelled design allows it to be repositioned as vessel locations, tidal conditions and berth requirements change.
The CMPA congratulates Lincom for being recognised in two categories, which is a great achievement.
