Canadian Forces Station Alert, also CFS Alert, is a Canadian Forces signals intelligence intercept facility located in Alert, Nunavut just 817 kilometres from the geographic North Pole.

CFS Alert maintains signals intelligence facilities to support Canadian military operations, Search and Rescue operations, and Environment and Climate Change Canada researchers. Alert also plays a key role in projecting Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic.

Supporting infrastructure in such a remote location takes extensive planning and effort. The harsh environment puts extra wear on machines and crews alike. When CFS Alert required a new crushing spread for their quarry operations in the high arctic, Frontline Machinery was up to the task delivering a Keestrack H4 Cone Crusher and B4 Jaw Crusher.

To make such a delivery possible, Frontline's service technicians had to first disassemble both machines, breaking them down into multiple aircraft load packages, using precise configurations. The machines were then to Alert on a C17 military plane. The technicians later flew in on a military C-130 plane for reassembly, mobilization, and to facilitate the operator and mechanical training.

With intricate planning and precise execution, Frontline Machinery was able to successfully perform this difficult, but memorable task, in one of Canada's most rugged yet beautiful landscapes!
