In mining, dredging, marine, and water transfer operations, unsupported pipelines, hoses, and cables can quickly become a costly problem.

Strong currents, tidal movement, wind, and constant operational stress can cause excessive wear, instability, downtime, and safety risks.

Liquimech's Polyethylene Pipe Floats are engineered to solve these challenges.

Manufactured from high-quality UV-stabilised polyethylene, our advanced float systems allow pipes, hoses, and cables to bend and flex naturally while maintaining exceptional buoyancy, stability, and resistance to harsh environmental conditions.

Key Benefits:

✅ Reduce downtime by up to 50% through improved system reliability

✅ Minimise pipe, hose, and cable wear caused by movement and water conditions

✅ Improve operational safety and stability in demanding environments

✅ Quick and easy installation to reduce labour requirements

✅ Fully customisable to suit your project specifications

✅ Available for cable, hose, and pipe diameters from 10mm to 1650mm

From small cable floats to heavy-duty mega-series pipe floats with up to 6 tonnes of reserve buoyancy, Liquimech provides engineered solutions trusted across Australia's mining, construction, marine, and dredging industries.

If your project requires a reliable floating pipeline system built for long-term performance, Liquimech has the solution.

⚡⛏️ Electric Mining Trucks Sound Like The Future. So Why Aren’t They Everywhere Yet?

At first glance, electric haul trucks seem like an obvious evolution for mining.

Less diesel consumption. Lower emissions. Reduced noise. Fewer moving mechanical components. Regenerative braking that can recover energy on long downhill hauls.

On paper, the advantages are substantial.

But mining rarely happens on paper.

Electric haul trucks sound like the obvious future of mining.

Less diesel. Lower emissions. Less noise. Fewer moving parts.

But there’s a catch.

A mining haul truck isn’t a passenger car. These machines spend entire shifts carrying hundreds of tonnes up steep ramps in extreme heat, dust and demanding conditions.

The biggest challenge is batteries.

Current battery technology is still heavy, expensive and often unable to provide the same continuous operating time as diesel trucks. Charging infrastructure also requires major investment, especially at remote mine sites where power supply can already be limited.

That’s why many of the world’s largest miners are still testing electric and hydrogen haul trucks rather than replacing entire fleets overnight.

The benefits are real, but so are the challenges.

Electric haulage may be part of mining’s future, but the industry still has one big question to answer:

Can electric trucks deliver the same productivity and reliability that modern mines depend on every day?
