Introducing the Digga X Series 4-in-1 Bucket

- April 05, 2024

Introducing the Digga X-Series Heavy Duty 4-in-1 Bucket – a leap forward in performance and durability Re-designed from the ground up, this completely overhauled concept represents a revolutionary step forward. Drawing upon over 40 years of technological innovations and expertise, we are thrilled to unveil our latest innovation – the X-Series Bucket. Thanks to the tireless efforts of our engineering and manufacturing teams in Yatala, Queensland, we've achieved remarkable advancements in design. Anthony Wieckmann, Digga's Product Manager, emphasizes that the key to the success of this new design lies in its complete reimagining of the 4-in-1 Bucket's geometry. “The redesign allowed us to increase the bucket’s dump and rollback angles, improve cylinder performance and better protect hydraulic components,” says Wieckmann. “By repositioning the cylinders, it gave us several advantages including minimising dirt buildup reducing the risk of damage, increasing ...

Cancer Socks

- November 29, 2023

Cancer Socks? Sadly, in 2018, Digga suffered the loss of its CEO and Managing Director, Suzie Wright, following a short but courageous battle with ovarian cancer. This prompted the launch of a heartfelt initiative, Cancer Socks. Each year an esteemed collection of limited-edition boxed socks will be sold to help raise funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. What distinguishes these socks from others is not only their beautiful design and meaningful story but also their profound purpose. The current survival rate of ovarian cancer goal of Cancer Socks is to contribute enough so an early detection test and more targeted treatments can be created. The Cancer Sock team strives toward the goal of ovarian cancer survival rates rising to the same level as breast and prostate cancer survival rates (92% and 96% respectively). All NET proceeds from the sale of each box will go straight to the OCRF for their research. - For Suzie - Sadly, Digga lost its CEO and Managing D...

#OCAM2023

- February 01, 2023

During Ovarian Cancer Month, we will work toward drawing attention to the world's most lethal gynaelogical cancer. Ovarian cancer is a disease that affects women around the world, and it is one that is often overlooked and underfunded. Despite 51% of women not surviving 5 years after diagnosis, it is not as well-known or well-funded as other types of cancer, such as breast cancer. This is a serious issue, as early detection and treatment are crucial in the fight against ovarian cancer. Knowing the signs can save lives. Read Siobhan's story... This is where we come in, as we are working with OCRF (Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation) during Ovarian Cancer awareness month to bring attention to this horrible affliction that affects thousands of women every year and, to raise funds and awareness for ovarian cancer research. One of the biggest challenges in detecting ovarian cancer is that its symptoms are often vague and mimic other common female complaints. Symptoms ...

Let's Have A Quality Talk

- June 28, 2022

Quality is the buzz word that, once tagged on a product, elicits a certain consumer expectation. You know the pitch ‘you won’t find quality like this elsewhere’ has become synonymous with sales, especially as the Australian buyers’ market shifts towards more locally produced products. So, what power does ‘quality’ hold for a brand and when you buy quality what does that even mean? As an industry leading company, we asked three people from different key areas within Digga Australia their opinions on quality and why it is important for a company to strive towards ‘quality’. So what does quality mean and why is it so important? If we use the standard dictionary definition, then quality is a characteristic or a standard which someone or something is held to or measured against. This definition is vague and leaves more questions especially in the context of your brand. How do we reach those standards of quality? Where do they come from and who sets the level? ...
