How to select the right solution

A project manager should confirm the following technical inputs before comparing availability or rates:

  • Feed lump size
  • Bulk density
  • Required live capacity
  • Discharge rate

Site readiness and operating controls

  • Dump approach and edge protection
  • Structural support
  • Guarding and emergency stops
  • Dust control
The site remains responsible for its project-specific risk assessments, legal appointments, access controls and operating procedures. Offered equipment and services must be checked against the approved work plan.

Related and matching equipment

  • Crushers and screens
  • Conveyors
  • Excavator or FEL feed

Mobilisation and transport planning

Modules and mobile feeders require lifting or lowbed plans based on confirmed dimensions and mass.

Commercial information to define

  • Equipment and setup
  • Power or fuel
  • Wear items
  • Transport

Quotations should state the hire basis, minimum hours, exclusions, operator requirements, fuel and maintenance responsibilities, transport, establishment, standing time and the process for recording downtime.

Production and operating factors

Actual output depends on material hardness, feed size, moisture, screen apertures, recirculation and the loading method. Confirm the entire circuit instead of relying on a nominal machine capacity.

Information to send in your enquiry

✓Material type and maximum feed size
✓Required output and product grading
✓Target tonnes per hour or project volume
✓Site location and working area
✓Feed, discharge and stockpile plan
✓Power, fuel, operator and transport requirements
