These tippers have been purchased for replacement of traditional dump trucks. ‘New efficiency’ and lower Total Cost of Ownership are the main reasons for choosing BAS Mining Trucks. Due to the low weight material, BAS Mining Trucks provided a front cylinder tipper with a capacity of 40m3 which is specially designed for this type of work.
For each new order, BAS Mining trucks investigates -together with the customer’s technical team- possible improvements to the vehicle. This is a continuous process and all improvements are, if possible, implemented to existing vehicles as well. In the choice of final configuration, efficiency and uptime are at the forefront of keeping Total Cost of Ownership as low as possible. Result: Perfect product, happy drivers, good service, made possible by great partnership.
The cooperation started in 2015 by a request via Volvo Trucks dealer Automobilia (Pittem, Belgium). This is the local Volvo Trucks dealer which already has a long term relationship with our customer for the delivery of on road Volvo Trucks. For this specific project, BAS Mining Trucks delivers the vehicles (and even provides a guaranteed residual value), Volvo Trucks dealer Automobilia carries out maintenance and service.
