The new engines are intended to boost reliability, safety and operational efficiency on CBH’s narrow-gauge lines that move grain from the Wheatbelt to port.
The cooperative will add 270,000 tonnes of storage capacity at its key Mingenew receival site to support growers and improve grain handling efficiency.
CBH’s storage and handling system receives and exports about 90% of the Western Australian grain harvest, including wheat, barley, canola and oats.
CBH sites are transitioning from harvest receival to increased outloading activities for its 2026 export program.
