Powertrans designs and manufactures in Australia a range of innovative mining haulage systems, offering lower-cost, higher-productivity alternatives to conventional large mining trucks for the mining industry.

The Powertrans concept is based around its patented Powertrailer™system, which allows two powered trailers, in addition to the prime mover, to be placed within a “road train” combination to haul loads of greater than 500 tonnes.

The use of powered trailer units allows excellent power-to-weight ratios, rapid haul speeds for long distances, and faster hauls up inclines out of underground mines or mining pits.

The company prides itself on its efficient, flexible and cost-effective haulage systems that offer more capacity and higher productivity without compromising safety.

Powertrans’ underground haulage systems can haul out of underground declines at significantly higher speeds than conventional underground haulers.  MORE....
