A spectacular coal stacker with a 53.5m long boom,13.5 m back span and a 40 m cantilever. Located at the Rollestone coal mine, 20 km west of Rolleston in Central QLD.
This monster in the sky processes 8 million tonne per annum, then stacking coal in 20 metre high stockpiles for later reclaim and transport by rail to Gladstone for export.
Designed and Engineered by Connell Hatch, constructed by Monadelphous,
and fabricated by Gay Constructions for final assembly on site.
