Fleet & Equipment
Our fleet of mining equipment is modern, well maintained and takes advantage of the latest technology.
All our equipment complies with state and national regulations and is fully serviced after every project.
Big Yellow’s fleet is ready for dispatch from our Welshpool storage facility and can be easily obtained through our in house Logistics Service. We also have a dedicated Big Yellow freight service supporting all our projects.
The fleet is why a mining company in Perth or regional WA can hand us a whole scope rather than a single task. Excavators, dump trucks, dozers, graders, watercarts, loaders and drill rigs come from the one mining contractor, with our own in house logistics and freight moving them to site. What each crew does with them is set out under our mining services.
Load & Haul
We offer a wide range of top grade mining, civil and earth moving equipment to suit the specifications of your project.
- 200 Ton Excavator PC2000-11
- 6 x 100 ton Excavators consisting of low hour Komatsu PC1250-11’s
- 33 x 100 ton Dump trucks consisting of low hour Caterpillar 777E’s and Komatsu HD785-7’s
- Low hour ancillary fleet consisting of Caterpillar D9T / D10T Dozers, 16M Graders and 740 Water carts.
- Loaders
That is the load and haul fleet a mining contractor needs to run an open cut pit: a 200 tonne excavator at the top end, six 100 tonne Komatsu PC1250-11 excavators, thirty three 100 tonne Caterpillar 777E and Komatsu HD785-7 dump trucks, and a low hour ancillary fleet of Caterpillar D9T and D10T dozers, 16M graders, 740 water carts and loaders. It moves out of Welshpool to projects across Western Australia, and the crews who run it are covered under our mining services.
Drill
Our drill rigs and expert team will deliver exploration that suits your project and timeline.
- Production drilling for surface mining operations or quarries
- Pre-split Drilling
- Blast Hole Sample Drilling
- Probe Drilling
Our drill rigs cover production drilling for surface mining operations and quarries, pre-split drilling, blast hole sample drilling and probe drilling, so a mining company in WA can keep the drilling programme with the same contractor running the pit rather than splitting it across two. Drill and blast design services sit with the same team, listed under our mining services.
Blast
Our blast specialists will ensure the job is completed safely
- Production blasting for surface mining operations and quarries
- Pre-split and final wall blasting
- Drill and Blast design services
Blast crews handle production blasting for surface mining operations and quarries as well as pre-split and final wall blasting, and the same team does the design. All of this equipment complies with state and national regulations and is fully serviced after every project. To put the fleet on your site, talk to our Welshpool office on (08) 6263 4753.
