The Versatile Role of Service Trucks in Australian Mining Operations

13 Aug 2024

Service trucks are indispensable assets in the mining industry, providing essential support and ensuring the smooth operation of mining sites across Australia. At ORH Truck Solutions, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, customizable service trucks that meet the rigorous demands of the mining sector.

Applications of Service Trucks in Mining

Service trucks are one of the most versatile vehicles in any mining fleet. They are designed to handle a variety of tasks, ensuring that mining operations run efficiently and safely. Here are some of the key applications:

  1. Fuel and Oil Delivery:

    • Service trucks are equipped with large tanks for diesel and various oils, ensuring that mining equipment is always fuelled and lubricated. This minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity.

  2. Equipment Maintenance:

    • With onboard tools and equipment, service trucks can perform on-site maintenance and repairs, reducing the need for equipment to be transported to a workshop.

  3. Emergency Response:

    • Service trucks are often the first responders in case of equipment failure or accidents. They are equipped with fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and emergency eye wash stations to handle emergencies promptly.

  4. Utility Services:

    • These trucks can also be used for utility services such as power line repairs and delivering essential supplies to remote mining sites.

To illustrate the capabilities of our service trucks, let's take a closer look at a recent build for Performance Crushing.
