Reliable Ground Mobility for Mining Operations
Mining haul roads are critical to operational efficiency, safety, and cost control. Ground Mobility Systems provides heavy-duty aluminium trackway and roadway solutions specifically engineered to support the extreme loads, constant traffic, and harsh ground conditions found in open-cast mining environments.
Our haul road systems create stable, durable access routes for heavy mining equipment, allowing continuous operations across soft, unstable, or environmentally sensitive ground where conventional roads are impractical or costly.
Engineered for Heavy Mining Traffic
Our aluminium trackway systems are designed to withstand repeated heavy loads from:
- Mining haul trucks
- Excavators and loaders
- Support and service vehicles
- Drilling and blasting equipment
With a load-bearing capacity of up to 310 MPa (44,961.7 Psi) at a 3% California Bearing Ratio (CBR), our trackway delivers exceptional performance in weak ground conditions commonly encountered in mining sites, including mud, sand, waterlogged areas, and loose overburden.
Rapid Deployment, Minimal Downtime
Mining operations demand speed and flexibility. Our modular haul road trackway can be deployed quickly by manual labour or mechanical handling, with up to 50 metres installed in under 10 minutes. This allows mining teams to:
- Open new haul routes rapidly
- Reroute traffic as pit layouts change
- Maintain access during wet or unstable ground conditions
- Reduce costly equipment downtime
- Improve your bottom line – constant running fleet
The reusable, rollable design enables fast relocation and redeployment as mining operations evolve.
Reduced Ground Failure and Maintenance Costs
Traditional gravel haul roads require continuous maintenance and ground preparation. Our aluminium trackway:
- Prevents rutting and ground displacement
- Distributes heavy vehicle loads evenly
- Eliminates surface puncturing
- Performs reliably over uneven and soft ground
This significantly reduces road maintenance costs, limits vehicle damage, and improves overall haul road reliability throughout the life of the mine.
Safety and Environmental Protection
Stable haul roads are essential for safe mining operations. Our trackway systems:
- Provide consistent traction for tracked and wheeled vehicles
- Reduce the risk of vehicle bogging and rollovers
- Protect sensitive ground and rehabilitated areas
- Minimise environmental disturbance and soil compaction
The open, corrugated design allows for easy cleaning and drainage, maintaining performance in wet and muddy conditions.
Designed for Extreme Mining Environments
Ground Mobility Systems haul road solutions are:
- Suitable for temperatures from –40°C to +60°C
- Climate tested to MIL-STD-810F
- Resistant to corrosion and harsh site conditions
- Supplied with anchoring options for steep inclines
This makes them ideal for both short-term mining projects and long-term haul road applications.
Flexible Haul Road Configurations
Our systems can be manufactured to any required length and width, allowing customised haul road layouts for:
Trackway can be supplied in flatpack or rolled formats, ensuring efficient transport,
storage, and on-site handling.
