Whether you’re tackling large-scale mining jobs or civil construction projects, selecting the right heavy machinery ensures efficiency, maintains timelines and controls expenditure. Backed by over 20 years of experience and a fleet of more than 130 modern machines for dry or wet hire, CPH Mining & Civil supports projects across the Bowen Basin and beyond with confidence.
Step 1: Define your project requirements
First, before selecting heavy machinery and equipment, conduct a thorough assessment of your project’s specific needs:
- Project size and scale: Are you moving large volumes of material, or working on a compact site that demands precision?
- Site conditions: Rugged terrain? Steep grades? Limited space? Each job site calls for specific machinery to perform at its best.
- Core tasks: Does the project require excavation, loading, hauling, or compaction? Breaking your project into clear stages helps identify the right equipment from the start, avoiding mismatches and extra costs.
Step 2: Choose the right heavy machinery for the job
Next take a look at CPH Mining & Civil’s fleet which includes a wide range of machinery designed for different applications. Here, you’ll find a breakdown of essential equipment and their uses.
- Scrapers – Ideal for bulk earthmoving. These advanced, open bowl, twin-engine machines cut, collect, and transport soil efficiently perfect for mining and civil projects.
- Dump trucks – Built to handle heavy loads, these trucks transport materials across sites with ease.
- Excavators – Versatile machines for digging, trenching and mine services. Our fleet ranges from compact 8-tonne models for tight sites to heavy-duty 125-tonne machines for large-scale operations, with a variety of attachments available.
- Dozers – Designed for clearing, grading, and pushing large volumes of material, dozers offer superior traction on rough terrain.
- Graders – Essential for road construction and final site grading, ensuring smooth and level surfaces.
- Loaders & Skidsteers – Workhorses for material handling, truck loading, and general site clearing.
- Water trucks – Crucial for dust suppression and site safety, keeping work environments compliant with industry regulations.
- Compaction equipment – Rollers and compactors ensure ground stability by compressing road-building materials. Essential for roadworks and foundation preparation.
- Transport & Cranage – Heavy-duty transport and cranes ensure safe and efficient movement of equipment and materials.
- Service trucks – On-site maintenance and support vehicles help keep projects running smoothly with minimal downtime.
Step 3: Factor in performance and cost

- Reliability and efficiency: We maintain every machine to the highest standard, minimising downtime and maximising performance.
- Operational costs: Factor in fuel efficiency, maintenance and other running costs alongside hire fees.
