One of the world’s leading manufacturers of excavator attachments – Miller Australia – has announced the launch of a new distributor partnership in Australia with ITR Pacific.
Launched in 2013, Miller Australia – stemming from Miller UK Ltd – is recognised for supplying the safest, most advanced quick hitches and buckets on the market from its base in Victoria, Australia.
The new distributor partnership with ITR Pacific – the world’s largest supplier of aftermarket earthmoving machinery parts – is set to significantly increase stock availability and distribution of Miller attachments in the Australian marketplace.
With ITR Pacific branches in Brisbane, Mackay, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and Kalgoorlie, the strategic move allows the business to increase its presence across a wider geographic area, with a significant stock and production increase of quick hitches and buckets that are now readily available in more territories.
The combined expertise of Miller in advanced attachment manufacturing and ITR Pacific in global aftermarket supply creates a strong product alignment that delivers significant value to Australian customers.
Alongside its nationwide footprint, ITR Pacific offers a comprehensive portfolio including undercarriage components, rubber tracks, ground-engaging tools, replacement parts, buckets and hydraulic hammers. Adding Miller’s quick hitches and Ready to Dig bucket bundles further strengthens ITR’s position as a one-stop solution for Australian operators.
This partnership now boasts one of the most extensive distribution networks in Australia, supported by a large, dedicated team of on-road representatives, with plans to further expand through new facilities, increased service capabilities and greater stockholding.
Miller Australia General Manager David Aldridge said the company was delighted to launch the distributor strategy as part of its tactical growth plans.
“With a well-established base already in Australia and over a decade’s worth of experience in this marketplace, we have a firm understanding of the market and have significantly invested in strengthening our product portfolio,” he said.
“Combining ITR’s strong local knowledge and large distributor network with technologies that are globally proven, our equipment is ideally aligned with modern Australian practices.
“As such, we believe our attachment solutions, which have been tested and optimised for even the harshest of conditions, are the very best in class and ideally suited for ITR’s customer base.”
The distributor strategy with ITR further solidifies Miller’s position to be the global leader in attachments for the wide range of markets and sectors it operates in.
ITR Pacific Director Graeme Lehmkuhl said there had already been a strong synergy between Miller and ITR as they served the same industries, making this partnership a natural fit.
“By uniting Miller’s world-leading coupler and attachment technology with ITR Pacific’s unrivalled distribution and service network, we offer customers a complete, reliable and innovative solution for every machine,” he said.
“By working together, we can make Miller’s quick hitches and buckets available, with a shorter lead time, to more customers across Australia.”
ITR will be supplying Miller’s quick hitches, buckets and Ready to Dig bundles to a range of markets from construction, mining, and forestry, through to waste, paving, industrial, and landscaping.
To mark the partnership, Miller and ITR Pacific will be co-exhibiting at the upcoming Diesel, Dirt & Turf Expo 2026, showcasing Miller’s quick hitches and buckets alongside ITR’s wider product portfolio. The event will give Australian operators the opportunity to see the combined strength of the partnership first-hand.
