BAS Mining Trucks has delivered three new Volvo FMX 8x4 widespread pushers with single mounted tyres –with a payload of 40 tonnes- to Jac Rijk GmbH in Germany. These pushers will be used for the transport of residual of a power plant. Safety & ‘new efficiency’ are the main reasons for choosing BAS Mining Trucks.
Jac Rijk and BAS Mining Trucks have cooperated in the past, on a project in Suriname. Last year, when BAS Mining Trucks introduced the Volvo FMX 10×6 with single mounted tyres, they were the first company to test this vehicle. The test was carried out on the power plant in Germany. The vehicle stood out in terrain skills, stability, payload and speed.
The residual of the power plant is a product with a very low density. Therefore, an 8×4 configuration, with a payload of 40 tonnes, was the best fit for this job. First results are very positive. They achieve high productivity figures in combination with low fuel consumption. The drivers praise the maneuverability and high comfort of the trucks.
These three Volvo FMX 8×4 WS 520hp pushers are purchased with a full service contract. Service will be carried out by BAS Truck Center. In the period between order and delivery, they rented a used BAS Mining Pusher to keep up with production on site.
The BAS Mining 10x4 tipper runs 24/7 and maintenance and repair will be caried out on site Vicats’ own workshop. Parts are delivered by the local Volvo truckdealer in Lyon. We wish them many pleasant working hours with their new BAS Mining trucks!...
