Dose anyone know of any Australian company before or now that is building wheel loaders or excavators?

Just wondering if we will be the first ones.

Someone may correct me, it originated in the US, but I think Moore used to build the old scoopmobile here in AU ?

Does the Dingo count as a wheel loader?
Seriously though, you are talking about a country that does not even make a 4x4 in a land where just about every second car is a 4x4.
Well Mitsi used to make an all wheel drive sedan and Ford made a few 4x4 utes back in the late 60's early 70's.

the frame and loader arms are still fabricated here in aus, i'm not sure about attachments, but they'd be mad to do that overseas, and the dingo and the kanga are in the same factory just south of brisvagas on the way to the goldy, you can see it from the motorway
