250T Heavy Crane Fleet & Concrete Machinery Mobilization for Plant Expansion
Result: 250T crawler cranes, high-pressure concrete pumps, and heavy tippers deployed with certified master riggers.
01 · Operational Challenge
Supply Bottlenecks & Exposure
Moving abnormal, oversized heavy cranes and concrete boom pumps across intercontinental corridors for a tight 120-day mill expansion turnaround.
02 · Logistics Integration
Direct Sourcing & Bonded Buffer Staging
Zabion executed route clearance surveys, ocean breakbulk shipping, and lowbed multi-axle convoy transit with on-site assembly technicians and certified operators.
03 · Operational Outcome
Production Impact
Completed critical SAG mill headframe and autoclave placement 6 days ahead of scheduled plant turnaround with zero safety incidents.
"Mobilizing a 250T crawler crane into an active mine expansion without road permit delays was critical to meeting our plant commissioning deadline."
