Why Mining Companies Trust Bentlee
Mining logistics is never one-size-fits-all. Oversized loads, remote locations, strict safety standards, and tight project schedules make mining equipment transport a high-risk task. Bentlee acts as an engineering-led logistics partner, starting with precise cargo measurement and continuing through route design, equipment selection, loading optimization, and coordinated execution across every transport leg.
Engineering-Led Planning
Every shipment starts with on-site measurement and technical assessment, ensuring your transport plan is built on accurate data — not assumptions.
Specialized Transport Resources
We operate specialized trailers, ultra-low flatbeds, and coordinate Flat Rack, Open Top, and breakbulk solutions matched to your equipment's actual dimensions and weight.
Safer, More Predictable Execution
From permit coordination to final site handover, our structured process reduces handling risks and keeps complex multi-leg projects on schedule.
Mining & Heavy Equipment We Handle
We support a wide range of mining and heavy equipment shipments, from single oversized units to multi-piece project cargo for mine development, plant expansion, and equipment relocation.
Mining Logistics Solutions We Provide
Oversized Mining Equipment Transport
We manage the movement of out-of-gauge mining equipment that exceeds standard container or road limits, including large mobile equipment, crushers, and plant modules. Our team plans around cargo dimensions, route constraints, and handling requirements to create safe and realistic transport solutions.
Flat Rack, Open Top, and Breakbulk Solutions
When container shipping is the right fit, we use Flat Rack and Open Top equipment for wide, tall, or irregular cargo. For extra-large or heavy units, we coordinate breakbulk handling, port operations, and vessel loading to keep complex shipments under control.
Heavy Haul Trucking and Remote Site Delivery
For inland transport, we select suitable heavy haul equipment, review route restrictions, and coordinate delivery conditions for remote mine sites. This helps ensure that oversized cargo reaches the destination safely and in the required sequence.
Transport Options for Mining & Heavy Equipment
Flat Rack Containers
Suitable for wide, heavy, or irregular cargo that can be securely lashed on an open platform. Available in 20ft and 40ft configurations for various equipment profiles.
Open Top Containers
Practical for tall cargo or equipment that requires top-loading. Provides contained protection while accommodating height overages that standard boxes cannot.
Breakbulk Shipping
For extra-large or extremely heavy units beyond container limits, we coordinate direct vessel loading, port operations, and specialized heavy-lift handling.
Heavy Haul Road Transport
Inland delivery using specialized trailers and ultra-low flatbeds, with route assessment, permit coordination, and escort arrangements for remote mine site access.
Our Mining Project Execution Process
Cargo Assessment & On-Site Measurement
We conduct detailed on-site inspection and precise measurement of every cargo unit, including dimensions, weight, center of gravity, and structural characteristics.
Transport Method & Equipment Selection
Based on the cargo data, we select the most appropriate transport method — Flat Rack, Open Top, breakbulk, or heavy haul — and match the right equipment type.
3D Loading Plan & Securing Design
We develop a detailed 3D stowage plan and lashing scheme to optimize container use, ensure cargo stability, and meet international transport securing standards.
Booking, Documentation & Permit Coordination
We manage space booking, shipping documentation, OOG declarations, and where required, road transport permits and escort arrangements.
Port Operations & International Transport
We supervise loading operations at port, coordinate with terminals and carriers, and manage the international transport leg through to destination port.
Inland Delivery & Site Handover
We coordinate the final inland segment, working around route restrictions and site access conditions to ensure equipment is delivered in the right sequence and condition.
Risk Control for Mining Equipment Transport
Bentlee treats risk control as a core part of every logistics plan, helping reduce handling issues, delivery delays, and avoidable transport risks for high-value mining equipment.
Oversize Feasibility Checks
Before committing to any routing, we verify that cargo dimensions are compatible with the selected transport method and confirm port and terminal acceptance conditions.
Route Study and Access Checks
We review road conditions, bridge load limits, clearance heights, and access restrictions for inland segments, particularly for remote or constrained mine site approaches.
Lifting and Handling Validation
We assess lifting points, rigging requirements, and crane capacities in advance to reduce the risk of handling incidents during loading and discharge operations.
Cargo Securing and Protective Packing
Lashing, blocking, bracing, and protective wrapping are designed to match cargo sensitivity and transport conditions, minimizing movement and moisture exposure risk.
Schedule and Coordination Control
We track milestones across all transport legs and maintain communication between stakeholders to address delays before they affect your project timeline.
