Frequently Asked Questions - MTGA - Remote Technology & Communication Solutions

How many sites has MTGA's equipment been deployed to?

We have over 1,000 trailers and skids operating across more than 50 mine sites worldwide, giving you confidence in the reliability and proven performance of our products in some of the most demanding conditions on earth.

Where is MTGA based and do you deliver nationally?

MTGA is headquartered in Carlisle, Western Australia. We design and manufacture all products at our Perth workshop and deliver to sites across Australia and internationally.

How long has MTGA been operating?

Since 2008. We started operations at the first autonomous mine site in Australia that year and have been supplying purpose-built industrial site infrastructure ever since.

What industries does MTGA work with?

Mining, civil construction, agriculture, defence, infrastructure, emergency services and more. If your operation is remote, off-grid or has specific compliance requirements, we've likely worked in a similar environment.

Are MTGA products Australian made?

Yes. Every product is designed and manufactured at our workshop in Perth, Western Australia.

Can MTGA work to a principal contractor or company specification?

Yes. If your operation or principal contractor has specific technical standards the equipment needs to meet, provide them at the start of the process and we'll design to them.

What power configurations are available across your product range?

Many of our products are solar-powered, making them well suited to remote and off-grid sites without access to grid power. We also offer hybrid and generator-based configurations depending on your site conditions and power requirements. Speak to our team to determine the best fit for your application

What is the lead time for new equipment?

Lead times vary depending on the product and level of customisation required. We recommend getting in touch early, particularly for custom builds. Contact us with your project timeline and we'll give you a clear indication of what's achievable.

What is the difference between the Mobile Series and the Base Station range?

The Mobile Series are towable trailers suited to smaller sites or deployments that move frequently. Base Stations are skid-based systems moved by crane or forklift, built for larger operations requiring higher power output, taller masts and longer-term deployment. See the product pages for full specifications.

Can any product be customised?

Yes. Every product in the MTGA range can be modified to meet specific requirements, and fully custom builds are available for non-standard applications. See the Custom Solutions page for more information.
