Sandvik arrivals

 Sandvik AB is a large Swedish company with involvement in metal related industries. Among these is the manufacture of mining equipment. Sandvik is favoured by many Canadian mining companies and new units arrived in the Port of Halifax on a regular basis. 

The company makes several models of underground dump trucks, several of which arrived on January 30 on the RoRo ship Elektra. They were driven off the ship by longshoremen using the ship's own 125 tonne capacity ramp.

Sandvik also makes mobile rock processing plants such as this unit which arrived on an Atlantic Container Line RoRo ship last week. It was likely transported on a dolly in the ship, then transferred to the trailer once it was landed.

The driver is just connecting air and brake lines and will soon be on the road. The trailer has the deck extended to accommodate the length of this QA 452 tracked mobile screener.

As usual Atlantic Tiltload has impressive equipment such as this Western Star with flat top sleeper and drop third axle.
