ABOUT US
Abelift Hire is a locally owned and operated company established in 2002 to supply custom-built fully equipped weld trailers to service the onsite repair of mining equipment. This has been extended from a range of weld trailers to now include diesel welders and associated welding equipment for delivery to any worksite in the Mackay area and the Bowen Basin.
All our equipment is carefully maintained to ensure your next shutdown, maintenance or even that odd job in a remote location has the right equipment at the right time and place.
EQUIPMENT & SERVICES
Abelift Hire is perfectly positioned to supply your welding requirements for any situation from a local workshop to a remote work site. We have been supplying welders and welding service trailers to major mining maintenance companies for well over 10 years.
Our equipment list includes seven mines-compliant welding trailers, static air pack diesel welders, LN 25 wire feeders, heavy duty welding leads and air hoses to top up the equipment inventory for your next mine site project.
We have the latest Miller Big Blue 800 X duo with “Arc Reach” technology, which allows welding output power to be adjusted remotely when a compatible wire feeder is connected. This bit of magic is done through the standard welding cable, giving the operator the ability to change from high amperage arc air gouging to weld settings from 100 metres away! Great for situations where work is being carried out at height, such as a dragline boom, removing the need to have an offsider standing at the welder controls to make adjustments.
PORTABILITY
Our weld service trailers have been designed to be towed with ease by four wheel drive vehicles or larger service trucks with the electric trailer brakes able to be controlled either by a trailer mounted brake controller or in cab controller.
Trailers have load-sharing suspension with standard hitch connections complying with safety standards of both Government transport departments and mining company requirements.
HEAVY DUTY EQUIPMENT
These are well-balanced welding trailer units built light enough to tow easily but tough enough to handle the conditions encountered on mine sites. Designed to be able to carry out all manner of site work, they are fitted out with Air pack diesel welders, wire feeders and all accessories for welding, arc air gouging and oxy acetylene cutting. We can supply welding accessories tailored to suit your needs for your particular work project, gas cylinders can also be supplied on request.
All trailers have ample lockable toolboxes for storage of welding equipment and consumables. There are retractable hose reels for compressed air, oxy acetylene, and Argo shield welding gas and storage compartments for “g” size gas cylinders of Oxygen, acetylene and Argo shield as well as a 40kg LPG cylinder.
MINE SITE COMPLIANCE
All of Abelift Hire's equipment meets BMA mine sites' requirements and all carry their current compliance papers. We also have units passed out for other major mining companies including Glencore at Hail Creek, Newlands and Collinsville as well as Peabody Energy at Coppabella Mine.
In the Blackwater area we have welding service units with in-date compliance at Curragh Mine and Yarrabee Mines.
MAINTENANCE
All of the welders, trailers and welding equipment are regularly maintained to a schedule in excess of the manufacturers specifications to ensure reliability at your worksite.
