Hot Shot Special Transport Services

Mines operate 24 / 7 and any down time due to breakdowns can cost millions of dollars in lost production. This might be a 20c ‘O-ring’, a hydraulic ram for an excavator, or rollers for a conveyor. McAleese can have the item collected in an appropriate vehicle with ‘2 up’ drivers to have it at site in the shortest legal time from anywhere in Australia.

Local Trailer Hire

Our comprehensive fleet of conventional, drop deck, extendable and extendable drop deck trailers are available for local hire and are in regular use for movement of structural steel from engineering works and paint shops to project sites.
