Custom-built coal bodies have a large body to accomodate
coal's natural properties, including the way it heaps and its light
density, in order to maximise hauling potential.
A
chieving maximum output and productivity
are the main objectives for any coal mine. Like
world-class runners, equipment
superintendents need to examine all
opportunities that maximise their fleet potential and can
shave minutes – and sometimes, seconds – off their cycle
times to protect their competitive edge. They know that
saving even 30 sec. on each truck load might equate to
an additional, several thousand tonnes of coal reaching
the market that year and millions of dollars coming into
the mine. Maintenance superintendents understand how
taking equipment offline affects productivity, how the
truck body will interact with their loading tools, and
how to achieve the highest return on investment on the
mine’s equipment – which makes them influential
people when it comes to truck body purchasing.
To accomplish their objectives, superintendents turn to
custom manufacturers that match hauling material
