In the world of mining, everything is oversized and huge. Transporting and using mining equipment makes the user feel tiny, so nothing is bigger than the issue of on-site and off-site safety.
TGI Cargo understands the mining sector like no other logistics company, as they stand on site and see these machines in action. Having partnered with some of the top mining companies across the world, they understand the risks and hazards and how to mitigate them.
Transport mining equipment
Thorough preparation and risk assessment from the beginning is what gives users the advantage by partnering with TGI. To safely and efficiently transport mining equipment users need someone who has experience with oversized and out-of-gauge shipments as well.
Reputation, liability and legal costs are on the line, so they must have robust safety protocols at all times
In the resource sector, they know each company and site has its own safety rules and guidelines that must be adhered to at all times. But in addition, once the freight is off-site, users need to know that they also adhere to world-class safety protocol on every shipment.
And, TGI Cargo knows that if safety is compromised, not only is there a risk to productivity and their reputation, but also to human lives and public safety. Reputation, liability, and legal costs are on the line, so they must have robust safety protocols at all times.
Robust safety protocols
They’ve trucked vital equipment up steep, narrow mountain ranges, quickly and without incident, to avoid productivity delays. Some of the freight projects they have successfully delivered for top mining companies include moving oversized cargo to remote destinations under treacherous conditions.
They’ve been trusted to manage complex projects via sea, air, and land for the mining sector time and time again, because they put safety above all else. And they’ve shipped uniquely-shaped mining cargo and site materials from remote locations around the world. They’ve prevented shutdowns and even created world transit records in the pursuit of freight forwarding excellence.
Freight forwarding excellence
5 ways TGI gets safety right on every shipment:
- They aim to operate at a safety standard higher than any mine site – they set the bar high from the outset.
- They review all of their Quality, HS&E, and site requirements and follow them to the letter of the law.
- They assess and minimise or remove risk throughout the entire process, from the loading of cargo and its lashing calculations to the specifics of port entries.
- TGI stays up to date on global legal requirements for every step of the journey.
- TGI hands over a completed, thorough risk analysis and risk register before any work begins
When users get safety right from the beginning it means that they don’t face unwanted problems at the end of the mining project. As experts specialising in worldwide logistics service and freight forwarding they understand the unique needs of the mining sector. And they work with the users to ensure that the mining project is delivered successfully and safely.
