ALE were contracted to receive and perform the land transportation of 3,500 mining equipment modules for the construction of the Roy Hill Mine, north of Pilbara in Western Australia.
ALE received the modules at Port Hedland. The 3,500 modules ranged in size and weight, as heavy as 320t and measuring up to 15m wide, 17.5m high and 54m long.
The modules were transported 540km to the Newman Pilbara region utilising 30 axle lines of widening trailers and four block trucks. Because of the size of the items, they were delivered one at a time.
ALE transported all cargo safely to their final destination, with the final item moved in June 2015.
