Surface Operations Mine Buses

MineBus mine bus

Crew buses for open-cut and surface operations — high capacity, heat-rated and built for long haul-road kilometres.

What matters on site

  • High-capacity layouts for shift changes
  • Dust sealing and heat-rated cooling for open pits
  • Ride comfort over haul roads and access tracks
  • Hi-vis livery, beacons and reversing safety

How MineBus configures it

Open-cut sites move large crews across long, dusty distances. We configure high-capacity King Long coaches with upgraded filtration, cooling and the full surface-spec mine kit for reliable shift-change transport.

Best-fit models: King Long 48–53 Seat

Compliance built in

Every build is referenced to the standards your HSE team audits — ADR 59 rollover strength, ADR 68/01 occupant protection and seat-belt awareness, ADR 80/04 (Euro 6) emissions and AS 5062 fire suppression — and documented for first-time site entry. See the compliance library →
