Austin Engineering wins People's Choice Award 2019

All four of this year’s Steel Prize nominees have shown proof of good engineering and innovation through the optimized use of steel, something that surely made voting for a single favorite very difficult. However, with 2,315 votes – of the total votes of around 4,800 –, Austin Engineering and their revolutionary Two-Piece Mining Excavator Bucket, has emerged victorious.

The Two-Piece Mining Excavator Bucket represents a significant leap in innovation for the design, maintenance and safety of excavator buckets. It has a modular design and defined joint configuration between the upper and lower assemblies that allows for quick and efficient change-out during maintenance intervals. This clearly opens up for further bucket design innovations.

The People’s Choice Award was decided solely by the general public, who voted for their favorite Swedish Steel Prize finalists. The award plays no role in determining the actual winner of the Swedish Steel Prize.
