The widespread haul trucks are equipped with a 38 tonne tandem axle. The strength of this tandem axle is improved by BAS Mining Trucks. The axles are placed further apart. This way, more space is created to mount bigger and wider tires. This brings more stability during driving and unloading on the one hand. On the other hand this results in more carrying capacity, resulting in 10x4 tipper trucks with a capacity of 31 m3 and a net payload of 56 tonnes.
The new widespread haul trucks have a top speed of 50 km/h and can operate on a gradeability up to 15%. The 10x4 widespread trucks have a third axle which is pneumatically suspended. To reduce wear and tear of this axle, it is lifted automatically when the truck is empty or in reverse. To increase efficiency of your operation, more options like payload measurement system, inclinometer and BAS Fleet Connect are available.
