Move your plant closer to new highway, bridge, or dam construction sites. Minimize concrete transport costs.
International relocation across 15+ countries. Customs clearance, shipping, and reinstallation included.
A plant move from a mining site fails on logistics long before it fails on engineering. The plant itself is no harder to dismantle than one in a city, but everything around it is: the access road may not take a low-bed trailer, there may be no crane able to reach the mixer platform, the working day is limited by site safety rules, and in some regions the weather closes the haul road for months at a time.
That is why a mining relocation starts with a site survey rather than with a quote. We need to know how a crane gets in, how the main frame leaves, where the containers can be loaded, and which months the road is usable. Planning around those constraints is what keeps a remote move on schedule.
| Site type | Typical access | Rigging approach | Dismantle duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open-pit mine, permanent road | Low-bed trailer access | Standard mobile crane 50-80 t | 5-8 days |
| Remote site, restricted road | Sections broken down at site | Crane 25-50 t + flatbeds | 7-10 days |
| No road access (dry season only) | Seasonal haul route | Plan move to the weather window | 8-12 days |
| Cross-border mining project | Two customs regimes | Full component register + permits | 10-14 days |
Oversize and overweight permits, bridge and overhead clearance surveys, and police escorts where the law requires them are part of the job, not an extra. In several countries the permit process alone takes two to three weeks, so it has to start while dismantling is still under way - not after the plant is already sitting on a trailer.
Where the destination is in another country, add export documentation at the origin, import clearance and conformity certification at the destination, and a component register detailed enough to satisfy both customs authorities that nothing has been substituted in transit.
Reassembly runs in reverse order of dismantling, guided by the component register and the photographs taken at the original site. Foundation and anchor bolt positions are checked against the drawings before anything is lifted - an out-of-position anchor bolt is the most common cause of a delayed reinstallation.
Commissioning then covers electrical reconnection, weighing system recalibration, a dry run of every motor and conveyor, and test batches to confirm the plant produces to the original mix design. Operators are trained on the specific plant during this phase, so the crew at the new site is not learning the machine while it is meant to be producing.
Yes, and it is one of our most common jobs. Remote sites usually mean no crane access at the plant itself, road restrictions on the access route, and a weather window that closes for part of the year. We survey the site first and plan the rigging around what is actually there, not around what the drawings say.
Mobile crane of 25-80 tonnes depending on plant size, forklift, flatbed and low-bed trailers, plus the usual cutting and bolting equipment. Where the access road cannot take a low-bed trailer we break the main frame into sections at the site and re-assemble at the destination.
Dismantling typically takes 5-10 days and is slower in remote locations because of limited working hours and equipment handling. Add 2-4 weeks shipping and 10-18 days reinstallation. A complete remote move usually runs 6-10 weeks.
Yes. Oversize and overweight permits, police escorts where the law requires them, and route surveys to confirm bridge and overhead clearance are all part of the service. In some countries the permit process alone takes two to three weeks, so it is started while dismantling is still under way.
That is a cross-border relocation. It adds customs export documentation at the origin, import clearance and conformity certification at the destination, and a full component register so every item can be accounted for. We have completed cross-border moves in more than 15 countries.
Every component is photographed, tagged with a unique ID and logged in a dismantling register before it is packed. Bolts, brackets and small fittings go into labelled bags. In a typical used plant move 5-10% of small parts turn out to be missing or damaged, so the register is what lets us identify and replace them before they become a delay on site.
