Minespec Parts

Breaking down behemoths and unearthing the treasure trove of high-quality parts inside every machine is how Minespec Parts turns surplus into purpose.

With precision at the heart of every operation, this company delves into the core of customer satisfaction, providing unmatched parts and components for the resource sector. For years, they've been dismantling Heavy Mining Equipment (HME) with the expertise of seasoned pros, transforming 80-tonne to 800-tonne giants into sustainable, cost-effective solutions.

With an impressive 97 per cent sustainability and recyclability rate, Minespec Parts is not just keeping the gears of industry turning but also ensuring they’re doing so with minimal environmental impact.

Their approach is anything but surface-level, delving into maintenance management solutions and providing a vast array of new and aftermarket components designed to reduce operating costs. By leveraging critical data from their operational and maintenance teams, they offer cost-effective solutions that keep their clients’ operations running smoothly.

But they don’t stop there. Minespec Parts partners with management, maintenance, warehouse, and audit teams to uncover new opportunities, turning small surplus parts into significant revenue streams.

It’s all part of their motto: “TURN YOUR SURPLUS TO PURPOSE.” In today’s tough economic climate, this philosophy is more relevant than ever, helping mining operations achieve and exceed the lowest cost per tonne moved. Minespec Parts is constantly innovating, striving to be responsive, decisive, and transparent. They understand the importance of being cost-effective and work tirelessly to support their customers’ KPIs.
