Mining Buckets
Austin Engineering designs custom mining buckets engineered for excavators, shovels, and loaders. Our buckets, available up to 50m, are tailored for hard rock, iron ore, and coal applications. Using advanced materials and design, we ensure durability and efficiency, reducing cycle times and enhancing machine performance. Clients benefit from precise payload optimisation and seamless integration with existing equipment.
Underground Dump Bodies
Our underground dump bodies feature lightweight, curved designs to minimise material hang-up and operating costs. Custom-engineered to meet OEM specifications, these bodies optimise payload capacity while maintaining structural integrity. Enhanced baffle systems reduce wear, and shallow angular transitions improve material flow, ensuring faster dump cycles and reduced maintenance downtime for high-production mining environments.
Tyre Handlers
Austin Engineerings hydraulic tyre handlers, with capacities from 2,500kg to 10,000kg, offer precise control for surface and underground operations. Features include simultaneous three-directional clamping, adjustable arms, and safety lock valves. Designed for compatibility with loaders and telehandlers, these handlers streamline tyre maintenance, enhancing safety and efficiency in heavy-duty mining applications.
Water Tanks
Our heavy-duty water tanks, available in 14,000180,000-litre capacities, are designed for dust suppression and firefighting. Innovations like interlocking baffle systems improve stability by 18%, while ergonomic access reduces maintenance risks. Compatible with 6x6 articulated trucks, these tanks integrate spray systems and remote controls, ensuring operational flexibility and compliance with safety standards.
Through-Life Support
Austin Engineering provides comprehensive repair, maintenance, and refurbishment services for mining equipment. On-site machining, fabrication, and NDT testing ensure minimal downtime. Our global network offers rapid response times, with exchange parts and reclamation services tailored to extend equipment lifespan and maintain peak performance in demanding environments.
