Mining equipment
Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics offers excellent transport solutions for mining equipment. We transport large
volumes of cargo, either as complete units or as individual components.
Our vessels which offer a high degree of flexibility are built to accommodate a wide variety of unwieldy, heavy cargo -
from drilling machines and mine roof supports to conveyor belts and mining construction equipment.
We encourage shippers to send cargoes 'as is'. No additional packaging is required. This enables our cargo handling
specialists to clearly see the cargo and to ensure proper handling and stowage, whilst also reducing costs for the
customer.
Handling
Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics handles most mining equipment using roll trailers which have a capacity to handle up
to 140 tons. For cargo weighing between 140 and 220 tons, we use our own specially designed Samson heavy-lift trailers.
For cargo that exceeds the capacity of our own equipment we utilises jack-up trailers which can be configured to the
exact requirements of the cargo. Handling cargo this way on board eliminates the risk of potential damage during
lift-on/lift-off operations.
On most trade routes cargo weighing up to 380 tons can be stowed below deck.
