About

Queensland Bulk Handling's state-of-the-art loading process and bulk handling equipment includes conveyor systems with overhead discharge gantry or stacker, underground and above ground reclaimers and bulldozers for stockpile management to deliver rapid turnaround times.

Self-cleaning magnets and metal detectors are fitted to the bulk terminal conveyors to ensure metallic contamination is kept to an absolute minimum.

The skilled Queensland Bulk Handling team can also assemble several cargoes simultaneously.

Outstanding customer support, strong relationships with rail providers and Queensland Bulk Handling's integration with Queensland's rail network allows bulk material shipments to be processed quickly and efficiently.

A priority berthing system also ensures fair and transparent sequencing of vessels.

Independent on-site testing and sampling facilities ensures a consistently high standard of bulk material consistency. This standard is maintained beyond the product handling system to include strong safety and environmental management systems.

Queensland Bulk Handling also has the ability to store multiple bulk material types which can be kept apart to avoid cross-contamination.
