I would love to see an operational cost analysis and efficiency comparison with a conventional of same carrying capacity. Lot of factors to contend with. Fuel consumption, maintenance and downtime, distance of operations and damage to ground/roads encountered. I love it as a utilitarian site and specifically as l duty but need more data to compare as they upsize the concept to mining scale.
We don’t have this particular brand but we did just buy a brand new competitors version and it’s all around a very handy machine. Doesn’t haul as much as a 30 ton off road truck but can get places and do things they can’t.
What's the loading capacity in tons? I wonder how much maintenance and how long the lifespan of the swing bearing will be, they look effective but there's always 2 sides of a coin.
Look like a good machine on the right job ie soft ground where turning a loaded ADT around before reversing to tip would cause massive ground damage and increase the chance of getting stuck however I’m sure these come at a premium price tag so they are likely to be more of a specialist contractor machine
Wow handy looking machine!!!! No hanging around with turning there unlike a conventional ADT obviously !! But I wonder what kind of ticket covers one to drive it..... 360 or dumper OR ATD ticket
