Custom Trailers in Record Time for Anglo American
Background & Challenge
Anglo American is a leading global mining company committed to sustainable practices and operational excellence. They focus on the responsible production of copper, premium iron ore, and crops. As part of their Australian operations, they faced an urgent need during a high-demand period.
The Challenge
AngloAmerican required two specialised trailers for waste oil, equipped with suction and delivery pumps. The trailers needed to land on-site within two weeks over the Christmas period – a hectic time for both manufacturing and logistics.
This project was unique and challenging due to the short timeframe and the holiday season, which added further logistical hurdles.
Solution
Durotank rose to the challenge, leveraging its in-house capabilities and strong industry relationships to meet the client’s urgent needs. Durotank’s fully integrated facility enabled seamless coordination between manufacturing, painting, and fit-out processes. We adjusted production schedules to prioritise this urgent order without compromising other commitments.
Further, Durotank utilised its strong relationships with reliable transport providers to secure quick delivery. Despite the holiday rush, transport partners ensured the trailers were on-site within a week from ordering.
Benefits
Durotank successfully delivered the waste oil trailers to AngloAmerican within a one-week timeframe, impressively exceeding the client’s expectations. Despite the challenges of the Christmas period, Durotank’s in-house facilities, combined with efficient scheduling and reliable transport partnerships, ensured a seamless operation. The trailers were dispatched just two days before Durotank’s holiday shutdown, showcasing the company’s ability to adapt and prioritise urgent client needs. Designed for more than just diesel, the Durotank trailers showcase versatility, durability, and performance tailored to meet specific client requirements. AngloAmerican was highly impressed with the speed, quality, and attention to detail, further cementing Durotank’s reputation for exceptional service and reliability.
