Project Scope

A Shiploader for the salt export terminal at Onslow WA, designed in conjunction with the gull wing stacker for the same project. The solution adopted a lightweight boom with counterweight assembly. A key aspect of the design was the ability to transport the machine components from the fabricator in Tasmania to north west WA.
