Schlam - Hardox® In My Body makes the difference
The challenges of open-pit mining are many, and some are more manageable than others. One thing that can be controlled is the total operating costs, where Hercules HX mine truck bodies from Schlam make a difference on many levels.
Hardox® In My Body mining:
Loads more and lasts longer.
Lower total costs of owership for end-users.
Taking performance to the next level.
10-20% Higher load capacity
The Hercules HX body for mine dump trucks made in Hardox® wear plate is lighter and stronger than competitor bodies. In fact, it has a 10 to 20% higher load capacity, making a huge total difference in the long run. This number has been independently verified by Schlam in actual mining scenarios. When returning unloaded, the lower tare weight also saves on fuel and tire wear.
Effect on the bottom line
A 20% longer service life is another figure with a positive effect on the bottom line. Depending on the load’s abrasiveness, the dump body may even last 50% longer or more by using Hardox® 450 and Hardox® 500 Tuf instead of any conventional AR steel. The Hercules HX mine dump truck body is a certified Hardox® In My Body product. Schlam is a leading supplier of mine dump truck bodies in Australia. More than 1,000 Hercules HX bodies have been manufactured for mines at home and abroad.
