25.01.2022 Just in case you thought Mobile Conveying Services was exaggerating about the lack of equipment in the "olden days" of construction in earlier posts, we have unearthed a pic to back us up. This pic is a mild example as the boss was a bit soft: most contractors would have said, "Once you've finished digging out the hill with a pick, grab a shovel and load the truck". This softie used a tracked loader to do the job for them.

24.01.2022 The Mobile Conveying Services Telebelts are fortunate to see parts of Australia that many people haven't when they go to work in different parts of the country. When travel restrictions ease, seeing our own country will probably be one of the few options. It's not only a chance to support Australians who have been doing it tough for a long while but also a chance to discover things about our diverse country that don't often get the publicity that they deserve. Operator Ray Co...ugan shared this picture of silo art at Yelarbon, Queensland when he was passing through, on his way back from a job. We will look to share pics of other places we visit so that you can start planning your post-travel restriction exploration of the roads less travelled in Australia. Yelarbon is known for its silo art, and there is also a lagoon where you can stop to enjoy a picnic and break your travel. See more

24.01.2022 At Mobile Conveying Services, it's taken a little while to put together this set of pics for our series tracing the history of construction equipment manufacture in Australia - there was so much to choose from when we dug around! It started after World War 2 when there was a lot of surplus equipment (tanks, scout cars, 4x4 and 6x6 trucks, Bren gun carriers, etc) but not much real construction equipment. A lot of people got a trade during the War as it was the first large scal...e mechanised War. These skills were put to good use to modify equipment to do things they weren't designed to. What the equipment lacked in having the best specs to the job, it made up for in ready availability of cheap spare parts! After a while, regular equipment became available again and most serious contractors swapped over as soon as they could. A lot more equipment was made lcoally after the War - Australia's tariffs of the time almost forced this. While a lot of overseas equipment was made under licence, there were still some good local innovators, a number of them starting up in the 1950s. We can't claim that these pics are representative of the era but they each tell a story See more

22.01.2022 Mobile Conveying Services continues its series on Australian manufacturing, in the context of construction equipment, with this post about the World War Two (WW2) era. As experts say that COVID-19 disruption is the greatest in Australia since World War Two, this gives timely comparison. Lack of local manufacture of needed items has been exposed by COVID but there has been a great response by local manufacturers quickly moving into non-traditional areas to help out. It was sim...ilar during WW2 but on a much larger scale. In addition to wartime munitions and fighting equipment, there was need for considerable construction equipment to build roads and airfields across northern Australia as well as in fighting areas in the Pacific, working alongside US forces. There was also a considerable need for materials handling equipment to efficiently manage the stores required to support the fighting forces. On top of that, there was a need for councils, government departments, contractors and farmers to maintain normal operations in the face of considerable disruption to their normal equipment supply sources. These pics tell some of the story. . See more

21.01.2022 At Mobile Conveying Services, we're aware that a lot of people are navigating through COVID on a diet of Netflix, so we've adapted an old favourite "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" to help us portray this look at past equipment. We hope you'll forgive us if we're not quite up to Sergio Leone standards.

20.01.2022 At Mobile Conveying Services, even Telebelts sometimes have to work from home. Today, 2 new operators gained experience placing concrete without the pressure of being "on the job". Our original operator Graeme Cooney (who happens to be the founder and director) provided some valuable pointers to the the new operators. When it comes to sharing practical knowledge, you can't beat the most experienced Telebelt operator in Australia!

19.01.2022 A Telebelt with 3 booms recently appeared in Mobile Conveying Services colours recently. Is it a genetic aberration? Will it be dealing cards when the casino reopens? Is it siphoning off material and selling it on eBay? Has it been photoshopped? Get the inside story in our post early next week.

18.01.2022 Mobile Conveying Services (MCS) recently got hold of some pics of its first Telebelt TB 130 when it was brand new. MCS hadn't started at that time: it was bought by another contractor who sold it to MCS. Although the machine still presents well, it has had a lot of material over the belt on the years since these pictures were taken - which just goes to prove that it is more than a pretty (???) face!

17.01.2022 At Mobile Conveying Services today, Roxie - our petite Telebelt skid steer hopper, had a makeover. Roxie's got a special day tomorrow, and she wants to look her best. And what is that special event, we hear you ask. You'll have to wait until tomorrow's post - we don't want to spoil Roxie's special day with loose lips.

17.01.2022 Mobile Conveying Services is fortunate to be still working in the current climate. We recognise that it is important to look after our people, both at our premises and when they are working in the field. As part of this, we have recently installed remotely controlled gates to manage people and vehicles entering and leaving the premises, as well as having tracing protocols in place. Getting on top of the COVID challenge is a big task that will only be successful if we work as a team. We are fortunate that our people have become used to working as a team to maintain and grow the business before COVID came along, but appreciate the extra efforts that they are all making to navigate these difficult times.

17.01.2022 There was activity in the Mobile Conveying Services yard in the early hours of this morning as a large conveyor commenced its journey to a port in Western Australia. Peter Tighe is our "go to" man for these long journeys and his broad heavy haulage experience has been a real asset to MCS, as has his attention t detail. This is what happened while most of you were sleeping.

15.01.2022 At Mobile Conveying Services, we are concerned for the future of Australian industry beyond COVID-19. We have seen the dangers of relying on an overseas supply chain at times of disruption like this. As a user of large equipment, we also see the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on imported equipment, when the factors affecting exchange rate are largely outside Australia's control. We currently manufacture equipment that cannot be bought off the shelf, but these times are ...causing us to think more deeply about manufacture. If we look to the past, it is surprising how much equipment had local content in past generations. We are digging into dusty shelves to bring you a series of posts that may surprise you as well as show that there is lot we can do, if we put out mind to it. The ability of some local manufacturers to quickly adapt to urgently needed supplies at the start of the pandemic is a good illustration of this. This post covers equipment made up to World War 2.

15.01.2022 Because so much happened in construction equipment manufacture in the 1945-1960 period, Mobile Conveying Services is making a second post of pictures from that period. They're more interesting than representative - at least we hope that you feel they're interesting. If you have information that complements what we have, please share it with us.

15.01.2022 Michael Sharpe, National Director - Industry at the Federal Government's Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre (AMGC), recently visited the Mobile Conveying Services (MCS) factory while on an extended visit to manufacturing facilities in Queensland. Despite his busy schedule, he made time to inspect work in the factory and was also impressed with "The Monster", 1 of only 3 Telebelt TB 200 mobile telescopic conveyors in the world. ("The Monster" nickname came when the boom of... the TB 200 filled the main hall at the AIMEX 2015 mining exhibition in Sydney. ) Michael comes from a background of a multi-generation family business that has displayed innovation in developing road equipment to fill niches not served by the larger manufacturers - something that MCS also does. After leaving the family business, he spent time as chairman and acting CEO of successful regional business organisation HunterNet before joining AMGC. With that background, he is well qualified for his role and demonstrated his understanding of business and his bottomless enthusiasm for the future of Australian manufacture during his visit. We look forward to ongoing contact as MCS charts its way forward and further develops its manufacturing capability. See more

14.01.2022 Most large mobile conveyors spend their entire working life on one site. At Mobile Conveying Services, we like to do things a little differently. A system of conveyors is being supplied for ongoing work loading wood chip at a port on the opposite side of the country. After spending time in the workshop being modified to meet the specific needs of the job, the first conveyor will leave the yard shortly. It incorporates modifications that significantly reduce the cost and complexity of moving such a large conveyor.

10.01.2022 Today Mobile Conveying Services had a Telebelt TB 110 (32m reach) working on a bio basin project at the northern Brisbane suburb of McDowall. Rod and Andrew operated the Telebelt and a 2.5 cu.m. hopper was used to receive filter material from a wheel loader. Carruthers Contracting was the client and we thank their foreman Chris Nichols for sharing this picture.

09.01.2022 Last week Mobile Conveying Services posted teaser about a Telebelt with 3 belts. The puzzle is solved here, but you'll have to view the posted pics for an explanation. The third belt is for a reverse conveyor application where the conveyor runs in the opposite direction to what it was designed for. The short belt is designed to feed the belt on the long (telescopic) boom. When the belt is reversed, the long belt needs something to drop the material onto for placement. The thi...rd belt is attached to the rear of the Telebelt tower below the rear of the telescopic boom and can be used for feeding material into tippers. It cannot slew independently but can be raised and lowered with a winch. It isn't used often, but us very useful when it is. We've included pics of some of the applications. Earthmoving legend and all-round good bloke Ron Horner has used the Telebelt in one of these applications. See more

07.01.2022 Mobile Conveying Services recently worked with Kraftur on a fibre concrete slab project inside a large warehouse. They kindly mentioned Mobile Conveying Services and our Telebelt in their post about the job. We have been working with Kraftur (previously Shepcon Qld) for some time now and find them great people to work with. The understanding between the workers from both companies is terrific and makes for very productive projects. We look forward to continuing this great relationship.

04.01.2022 A month ago, Mobile Conveying Services (MCS) posted news about a fuel and lubrication module being built in the factory. To answer enquiries about whether the weather had slowed its progress - no, it's in position and has been operating for a little while now. That's the beauty about having the equipment and skills to undertake work in house - if there's a break in the weather, we can react quickly to take advantage of it.

04.01.2022 Mobile Conveying Services (MCS) is proud to be working with Hazell Bros on a landfill project at Reedy Creek. A Telebelt TB 130 (39m reach) is placing 40mm gravel on the floor of the landfill cell. Rod and Chris are the operators. Thanks to Rod for the picture and Hazell Bros for engaging us for this work. A Telebelt is a safe and productive way to place gravel around collection piles without damaging them.

03.01.2022 Mobile Conveying Services was proud to demonstrate a Telebelt TB110 mobile conveyor at the ATS - Australian Tunnelling Society field day held yesterday at the Brisbane City Council Mt Coot-tha quarry. Roxie was proud to be the feed hopper selected for placing gabion rock on the feed conveyor for filling gabions shown by fellow exhibitor Alan Robertson and his company Caged Rocks. The exhibition was organised with the upcoming Cross River Rail project in mind, and showcased p...roducts and services that could have application there. Where possible, working demonstrations were held. Mobile Conveying Services would like to recognise the efforts of Alan Robertson and Diane Mather in particular in organising this event, and of the team at the Mt Coot-tha quarry for not only providing the venue but also supporting it with equipment and people for supporting the exhibits and assisting with the safe movement of exhibitors and attendees within the working quarry. We also acknowledge Carl Morandy of Ausrocks for providing a vehicle for escorting equipment in and out of the quarry as well as some people movements. The whole event was a demonstration of how industry associations, industry people and industry businesses can pull together to create worthwhile, cost-effective events that are of great benefit to the industry and wider community.
