Mobile Workshop Trucks for Mining Industry
Alura Trailer manufactures fully-equipped mobile workshop trucks specially engineered for mining operations, including on-site maintenance, lubrication, tyre service and rapid mechanical repair.
Purpose-Built Mobile Workshop Solutions for Mining Sites
Mining operations demand heavy machinery, long operating hours and continuous field service. Alura Trailer designs mobile workshop trucks that allow maintenance teams to perform lubrication, tyre service, mechanical repair and fuel/oil support directly inside the mining zone — without returning equipment to a fixed facility.
These mobile units significantly reduce downtime, increase productivity and guarantee uninterrupted workflow in open-pit mines, underground mines and remote quarry sites.
Main Functions Designed for Mining Operations
Every mobile workshop truck is configured depending on fleet size, on-site conditions and customer requirements. Core systems include:
- Heavy-Duty Lubrication System — multi-grade oil tanks, pneumatic pumps, grease units, waste oil recovery
- Mining Tyre Service Module — heavy tyre changer, air compressor, impact tools, inflation systems
- Fuel & Oil Distribution — diesel tanks (2,000–10,000 L), meters, hose reels, transfer pumps
- Mechanical Repair Area — benches, vises, tool cabinets, pneumatic tools
- Onboard Power Supply — 10–30 kVA generator, lighting circuits, AC/DC sockets
- Pressure Washing — high-pressure pump, hose reel, industrial water tank
All systems are integrated to provide a fully autonomous service unit capable of supporting excavators, dump trucks, loaders, bulldozers and drilling equipment.
Advantages for Mine Operators
- Reinforced structure suitable for harsh mine environments
- High-capacity storage for oils, diesel and consumables
- Anti-slip heavy floor plates for safe mechanical work
- Dust-proof insulation and protected equipment cabinets
- Reliable 24V/220V electrical system for all tool types
- Corrosion-resistant materials for wet or acidic mine conditions
These trucks are used extensively in mining regions across Africa, the Middle East, South America and Central Asia, where ruggedness and mobility are essential.

Case Study: Mobile Workshop Deployment for Iron Ore & Oilfield Operations (Angola)
How a leading Angolan contractor increased equipment availability by 29% using a fully customized Alura Mobile Workshop Truck designed for dual mining and oilfield operations.
🔍 Project Overview
The client operates in both iron ore extraction (Lunda Norte region) and oilfield logistics near Soyo and Cabinda. Their fleet includes excavators, dump trucks, dozers, generators and hydraulic power units.
Due to the long distances between field sites, frequent tyre failures and the need for reliable lubrication, the company faced significant operational delays and fuel waste.
⚙️ Key Challenges
- Daily downtime due to tyre failures on rough, rocky terrain
- Oil contamination and dust-related wear in mining pits
- Long refueling trips between dispersed oilfield sites
- Lack of night-shift support for repairs
- High fuel consumption due to machine travel time
🎯 Client Objective
Deploy a mobile service hub capable of providing lubrication, tyre service, mechanical troubleshooting and diesel distribution directly in the field — reducing machinery travel distance and improving shift continuity.
