Haulage

All Bulk Carriers operates a number of major haulage contracts worldwide, ranging from the haulage of gold ore within Australasia to platinum ore within the Southern African region. All Bulk Carriers largest contract entails 170 million ton - kilometres per annum, operating in excess of 10 triple road trains twenty - four hours a day, 365 days per annum. All Bulk Carriers, through it’s risk management policy, contracts local service and management providers on many major contracts so as to ensure the client benefits from both world class technologies and effective local management.

Maximum payload per haulage unit varies from 8 ton per axle to 14 ton per axle, depending upon local legislation together with road conditions. All Bulk Carriers is able to operate on all road surface types, from bitumen to concrete paving to gravel.

Custom design of haulage equipment is undertaken for each contract so as to ensure optimisation of payload, thereby improving safety through the reduction in traffic and, at the same time, reducing operating costs for the client in each case. This involves close liaison with equipment providers so as to ensure an effective and long lasting solution. All Bulk Carriers works closely with its suppliers so as to continually improve on design of equipment.

World-class logistics and tracking systems are implemented on most major contracts so as to ensure optimisation of haulage equipment.

Through the past experiences of All Bulk Carriers, it has been determined that this method of transport may be effective on haul distances from as little as 3 kilometres, with savings to the client improving dramatically as the haul distance increases. Mining projects with a limited life, where capital expenditure may be a constraint, are particularly well suited, as opposed to conveyor systems.
