BIG YELLOW WAS ALL PRAISE WHEN DESCRIBING MAX PLANT'S CONTRIBUTION TO AN IRON ORE OPERATION IN WA.
-
For decades, MAX Plant has been a go-to mineral processing partner for the Australian mining industry.
The company has supported miners of all sizes across the country, not only delivering equipment on-time and on-budget but also unlocking enhanced ways of operating to reduce downtime and boost productivity.
Having delivered to the likes of BHP, Fortescue, Atlas Iron and Rio Tinto, MAX Plant has recently been working with mining contractor Big Yellow on an emerging iron ore operation in Western Australia.
Here, MAX Plant designed, manufactured and installed mineral processing equipment to a tight turnaround, enabling Big Yellow to carry out its various mining services at the site, including load and haul, drill and blast, and crushing and screening.
Big Yellow executive chairman David Edwards said the company wouldn't have won the contract without MAX Plant's support.
"Having Craig Pedley (MAX Plant founder and managing director) and his team's expertise has allowed us to meet the client's expectations to the point that we're now producing with a crushing and screening plant that is fit for purpose," Edwards told Australian Mining.
