Mackay-based heavy engineering and fabrication company Mainetec has officially launched its innovative Hulk excavator bucket after years of research and development.

The lighter, linerless bucket is locally built and boasts all-Australian sourced materials.

And it seems to be ticking all the right boxes for those in the sector with the first Hulk set to travel to the iron ore fields in Western Australia next week. 

Managing director Brett Hampson said a second build was underway and, with more orders in the pipeline, the Hulk was set to be growth area for the business.
