Austates Mining Boom: Upgrade your Mining Utes

It’s no secret that the Australian mining industry is booming right now. With several high-profile projects underway in QLD alone, namely in Mackay and Mount Isa, there are more job opportunities on the rise.

WA is also a major contender in the mining boom, with 15 new mining projects creating around 10,000 jobs in construction and operations. One careers website even hypothesised that mining jobs in Australia will see a 70% increase by 2020.

So what does this mean for you as a mining contractor? Quite simply, you need to get all your stuff in order! And that means ensuring that you have completely rigged-out, efficient vehicles for all of these workers. That’s where Austates can help with our Ausbox that is perfectly suited for mining contractors.

Hit the ground running.

A vehicle with all the right specs means that new employees can hit the ground running on a mine site. Our mining contractors ute boxes are made specifically to endure the rough conditions encountered on these sites. With doors boasting welded internal stiffener, and fully TIG welded body joins, these boxes aren’t going anywhere no matter how many bumps and jostles they experience. And they aren’t just for miners either; they’ll assist fitters, engineers and surveyors too. The internal fittings can be customised to suit specific professions, so you’re able to order a range of different configurations for true versatility. See our mining contractors ute box page for ideas on how you can set out your boxes!

A superior fleet of vehicles for better efficiency.

Having a versatile and reliable fleet of vehicles at your disposable is a must for the smooth running of any mine. Ensuring that each vehicle can safely house all relevant equipment will make work more efficient. There’s no substitute for quality when it comes to working on a mine site, either. Everything needs to be hardy and reliable.

If you’re after more shelter for equipment, at Austates, we can design entire canopies for each ute tray bed, incorporating sturdy mining boxes for tools, and other custom specs for specific equipment. See our Ausbox vehicle canopies gallery for just a snapshot of the configurations we can create!

Getting the branding right.

If you want your vehicles to look visually consistent to reflect a particular mine site or company, this can easily be done too, even if vehicles need different configurations to suit a variation of equipment. Get all of your ute body combos designed by Austates, and we’ll ensure all finishes are matching. We can even recommend the best vehicle branding services so that your company logo stands out from the rest.
