Bulk haulage built around your program.
The Haulage division runs truck-and-dog and semi tipper cartage for infrastructure, tunnelling, road, mining, quarry and plant customers across South Australia, with full-time drivers and a fleet that turns up.
Haulage services
Quarry and plant cartage
Aggregates, road base, sand and rubble from the quarry to your site or plant, on quarry rate cards or a quoted per-tonne rate. We cart for quarry operators, concrete and asphalt plants and directly for contractors.
Infrastructure and tunnelling haulage
Tunnel spoil out and imported material in for road, rail, tunnel and utility projects. Our new truck-and-dog sets are built to Torrens to Darlington project specification.
Embedded trucks on contract
Dedicated trucks and drivers allocated to your project on a day rate, so you control the loading and the program without running your own fleet.
Spoil removal
Clean fill, rock and general spoil carted from excavations, basements and trenches in end tippers to the facility you nominate, or one we arrange.

Safety and Chain of Responsibility
We operate under the Heavy Vehicle National Law and take our Chain of Responsibility duties seriously — for our drivers and for the parties we work with.
Fatigue management
Work and rest hours planned into every allocation, with trained drivers and records kept for every shift.
Maintained fleet
New equipment on scheduled servicing, daily pre-start checks and defect reporting.
Mass and loading
Loads within mass limits for the combination and route, with dockets to prove it.
Inducted drivers
Site inductions, quarry inductions and security clearances arranged before the first load, including sites that require police clearance.
Heavy vehicle accreditation (NHVAS) for the South Australian operation is in progress with an external adviser.
