As <strong>Allan Whiting<\/strong> of <strong>Outback Travels Australia<\/strong> says, drivers of mining company equipment aren\u2019t exactly noted for their loving care of machinery. This is the reason why Bus 4&#215;4 has cut its teeth literally in the Australian mining environment and why there is no tougher place to learn what works and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about Bus 4&#215;4 vehicle conversions on Outback Travels Australia website <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/outbacktravelaustralia.com.au\/?s=bus+4x4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest challenge when supplying mining vehicles is the ongoing requirement to stay compliant to vehicle and safety requirements stipulated by different mining companies. Each mining company has its own specifications, determined by what they believe to be best practices in terms of the safety requirements across their mining sites. For example, a mining vehicle contracted to a Rio Tinto mine site may require additional specifications when contracted to a BMA mine site. Hence, without a standardised safety regulation across mining sites, the mine<br \/>\nspecifications will vary.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bus 4&#215;4 can make the process easy since we have the knowledge of mine specifications for all mining companies in Australia. Our 4&#215;4 mine vehicles come fully equipped and ready to go. We are Australia\u2019s leading company building 4&#215;4 conversions to suit Toyota Hiace and Toyota Coaster buses. We have built and converted over 500 4WD people mover vehicles to date for our customers who trust us with their fleet requirements.<\/p>\n<p>All our 4&#215;4 hire fleet vehicles are regularly maintained by our highly skilled in-house mechanics in a state-of-the-art workshop to ensure safety and performance are kept to standard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are Mine Spec Site Vehicles?<\/strong><br \/>\nBus 4&#215;4 only builds and supplies AWD and 4&#215;4 mine spec people movers. All our vehicles when fitted with mine specifications such as roll-over protection systems, collision protection systems, seat belt alarms, tyre modifications, safety requirements in internal communications, flashing beacons, etc meet the strict standards required both on-site and off-site.<\/p>\n<p>Bus 4&#215;4 has extensive knowledge over many years in the Australian mining industry and hence we are prepared to maintain ongoing changes and customisations to our fleet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone wp-image-11647 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271200%27%20height%3D%27900%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201200%20900%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271200%27%20height%3D%27900%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/nz.bus4x4.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Mine-Specifications-Infographic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Core Competencies<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Innovation in 4&#215;4 Conversions<\/li>\n<li>Quality and Reliability<\/li>\n<li>Exceptional Customer Service<\/li>\n<li>Strategic Flexibility of Products<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Bus 4&#215;4 Mine Specification Accessories can include some if not all the below:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bull Bar: <\/strong>Bull Bars are one of the first choice of accessories to protect you from frontal collisions and help to protect your vehicle from animal strikes when driving on remote roads.
