Techking is collaborating with Chinese autonomous haulage specialist Boonray to co-develop mining truck tyres tailored to electric and driverless fleets, where high, instantaneous torque and tighter speed control change loading behaviour. The partners are integrating tyre design into early vehicle engineering, using Boonray’s AHS control data on torque curves, duty cycles and haul-road conditions to refine carcass structure, compound selection and heat management. For mine operators, this points to tyre performance being tuned to specific autonomous truck–road systems rather than generic TKPH-based selection.

EcoPower Mate introduces a modular temporary power system for remote mines, targeting exploration camps, mobile offices, communications nodes and construction facilities that currently rely on diesel gensets. Designed for locations with shifting footprints and variable loads, the units can be redeployed as drilling pads, laydown areas or satellite camps move, reducing the need to oversize fixed generator banks. For mine planners and project engineers, the approach supports more flexible power layouts and staged infrastructure without committing to early grid extensions.

Select Plant Australia is supporting Western Australian mining projects by combining heavy-lift engineering, fleet hire and long-distance logistics to move and maintain cranes, access equipment and modular plant across remote sites. The company is coordinating transport of large assets over hundreds of kilometres on mine and public roads, managing mobilisation windows around shutdowns and production schedules. For operators, the key gains are reduced downtime on critical lifts, better utilisation of high-value assets in isolated locations, and fewer delays from breakdowns or mis-specified equipment.
