Huge dragline unloaded at Mackay
Posted on 30 Mar 2006 by mackayportsOriginally published on 27 January 2006
A 6000 tonne dragline frame unloaded at Mackay Harbour this week is making its way to Xstrata's Rolleston Coal Mine in the Bowen Basin.
The dragline has been shipped from Canada.
Local company G and S Engineering is fabricating the base frame of the giant machine. The dragline "foot" - weighing 140 tonnes - was the largest single piece of equipment to be lifted off the Da Qiang at Mackay Harbour this week.
The equipment is being moved by road and will be reassembled on-site. The dragline is expected to be operational by April next year.
