Tuesday, December 07, 2010 by Storm Parts

Storm Parts is a leading supplier of new track systems for a large range of purpose built track type machinery in Australia and overseas. Our track systems range from small 1t machines to 100t machines.

Storm Parts has mainly been focusing on the drilling industry market with enquiries for track type machines being our main business. We also have smaller rubber tracks for environmentally sensitive machines, which range from 1t units to 13t units.

Our track systems come in two halves and are ready-fitted with tracks, rollers, idlers and final drives. Recently, Storm Part has built and supplied a drill rig transport machine for United Pacific Drilling in Papua New Guinea. The machine was designed to carry a 15t rig into the wet and muddy mountains of Papua New Guinea where conventional transportation has failed.

The machine has been designed to do a multitude of tasks. It is not only a transporter but can be used for carrying compressors and drill rods as well as other pieces of equipment that may be hard to move in rugged terrain.

Features

  • Fitted with 7t Hyab crane to lift other pieces of equipment
  • 6m x 3m tray (overall length is 8m)
  • Cummins diesel engine and hydraulic pump fitted
  • Wireless remotes for easy operation
