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.

Durotank’s ability to deliver high-quality, tailored solutions under tight deadlines highlights its dedication to customer satisfaction and operational excellence. With fully integrated in-house manufacturing, a responsive and agile team, and strong relationships with trusted transport partners, Durotank consistently rises to meet the most demanding challenges.

quote-01I purchased a Poly Tank Fuel Trailer from DUROTANK in April 2018. DUROTANK builds one of the best fuel trailers I have ever used. The build quality, engineering and attention to detail is unreal. The fuel trailer is rock solid, it tracks extremely well full of fuel at 100km/hr and its road worthy. All of the fittings are hoses are high quality hydraulic hose and crimped fittings so there are no leaks. The Durotank team is very easy to deal with and more than happy to help with any enquiries. The staff are friendly and it is a pleasure to do business with them. I’d buy another one in a heartbeat, that’s for sure

quote-01The Duro Cubes are going extremely well! My guys are very happy with them. Having them already saved us on oil transport on at least 2 occasions so far and has also allowed us to restructure our oil work days and use out of hours oil deliveries to make more efficient use of the time on site.
