Built for Industrial Use

Dunnage and mining timbers need to be tough, dimensionally accurate and consistent from batch to batch. Some of the ways we supply the resources industry:

  • Cribbing & Dunnage Blocks: Pine blocks and packers for machinery, freight and site use.
  • Mining Timbers: Larger sections milled for underground and surface applications.
  • Bulk Orders to Spec: Cut to length in the quantities your operation requires.
  • Delivery: Local delivery arranged for mine sites and yards throughout the Mackay region.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dunnage is timber packing used to separate, support and stabilise heavy loads such as machinery, freight, pipe, steel and mining equipment, so weight is spread evenly and cargo does not shift in transit or during handling. It is a consumable, typically cut from pine in standardised block sizes.
