About Eichler

Big enough to trust, small enough to care

Servicing Mannum, The Murraylands, and greater South Australia for over 50 years.

About

Eichler Earthmovers is a trusted regional civil infrastructure company, delivering high-quality projects across land development, local government, and authority sectors throughout South Australia.

Over recent years, Eichler has grown its capability and client base, strengthening its position as a reliable partner for complex civil construction works. While land development remains a core part of the business, expanded involvement in council and infrastructure projects has created a more balanced, resilient and future-focused operation.

Our commitment to quality, safety and environmental responsibility is supported by our ISO-certified management systems, providing clients with confidence in our processes, project delivery and continuous improvement.

A New Chapter for Eichler Earthmovers

In August 2026, Eichler Earthmovers entered an exciting new chapter, with Adam and Charlene Frith taking majority ownership of the business, alongside Shane and Kerry Yeates, who retain an ongoing interest in the company.

With Adam stepping into the role of Managing Director, the business continues to build on its proud history, strong foundations and longstanding relationships throughout the Murraylands and South Australia.

Bringing extensive experience in civil construction, infrastructure and business leadership, Adam is focused on strengthening Eichler’s capabilities, investing in our people and equipment, and driving sustainable growth.

While ownership has evolved, our commitment remains unchanged in delivering quality workmanship, reliable service and supporting the local communities that have supported Eichler for generations.

Our Community & Region

Now operating in our sixth decade, Eichler remains deeply connected to the Murray lands not just as a place we work, but as a community we are proud to be part of.

We take great pride in supporting members of our local community, providing leadership and training to help them develop into some of the most capable and valued employees within our business.

We are committed to supporting the people who work with us, live, build, and invest in this region. Alongside our larger infrastructure and civil projects, we continue to work closely with local homeowners, holiday property owners, and builders, helping bring projects to life with the same level of care and professionalism we apply across all our work.

This connection to our region shapes how we operate. We understand the local landscape, conditions, and expectations and we take pride in contributing to the growth, liveability, and long-term sustainability of the Murraylands.

Looking Ahead

With a diversified workload, strong foundations, and a clear focus on sustainable growth, Eichler is well positioned for the future while remaining firmly grounded in the relationships and regional values that have defined the business for decades.

Celebrating 50 years in 2020

Eichler proudly celebrates its 50th year in business. Incorporated since 1970, its inception was in the fifties, where the founder Cec Eichler realised an opportunity for Earthmoving after the famous 1956 flood. The flood presented a need for rebuilding the destroyed levy banks, and the rest is “history”. 50 years on, Eichler is stronger than ever, our client book is growing by the day, and we continue to be just as passionate about supporting local as we are supporting South Australia and beyond.
