Powertrans
Australian-owned Powertrans designs and manufactures a range of innovative haulage systems that offer the mining industry lower cost, higher-productivity alternatives to conventional large mining trucks. We specialise in developing robust operator friendly vehicles.
The Powertrans concept builds on its patented Powertrailer™ system, which, in addition to the prime mover, allows up to two powered trailers to be placed within a “road train” combination.
The company was established in 2001 to manufacture powered trailers for surface and underground mining applications. Its two key product families – the Powertrans Underground Mining Haulage and Powertrans Surface Mining Haulage systems – have proven themselves tough, reliable products that perform well in even the most demanding conditions.
All Powertrans products are based on readily available off-the-shelf heavy-duty equipment and components that do not have the “mining premium” price tag.
Powertrans is based in Brisbane, from where it services clients around Australia and overseas, offering operational and mechanical field support in remote locations.
Powertrans prides itself on efficient, flexible and cost-effective haulage systems that offer more capacity and higher productivity, without compromising safety.
