Finding the right heavy machinery and equipment for mining and civil projects

Getting the right heavy machinery for the job can mean the difference between a smooth, efficient operation and costly delays.

Whether you’re involved in large-scale mining operations or civil construction projects, matching your project’s requirements with the right machinery is key to keeping on schedule and controlling costs. With over 20 years of experience and a fleet of more than 130 modern machines available for dry or wet hire, CPH Mining & Civil is well equipped to support projects across the Bowen Basin and beyond.

Step 1: Define your project requirements

Before selecting equipment, start by evaluating your project’s specific needs:

  • Project size and scale: Are you handling large volumes of material, or is the work confined to a compact site requiring precision?
  • Site conditions: Is the terrain rugged, steep, or tight on space? Different machines perform best under varying conditions.
  • Core tasks: Does the project require excavation, loading, hauling, or compaction? Breaking your project into stages helps pinpoint exactly what equipment is needed, preventing mismatches and unnecessary costs.

Step 2: Choose the right equipment for the job

CPH Mining & Civil’s fleet includes a wide range of machinery designed for different applications. Here’s 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 – Ensures 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 vehicles – On-site maintenance and support vehicles help keep projects running smoothly with minimal downtime.

Step 3: Factor in performance and cost

  • Reliability and efficiency: Our modern machinery is maintained to the highest standards to ensure minimal downtime.
  • Operational costs: Factor in fuel efficiency, maintenance and other running costs alongside hire fees.
  • Flexibility: Dry hire allows you to adapt to project changes without being tied to equipment ownership. This will assist and ensure you select equipment that meets your project’s demands while offering long-term cost benefits.
