Raw material handling
This mining truck has been equipped with a body made of Hardox® 450. The weight of the new dump body is reduced by 2.5 tons or 25%, which can increase the maximum payload, while maintaining the same maximum vehicle weight. Additionally, the new body can have a longer lifetime than the conventional one.
SSAB EcoUpgraded
Together with our customers, SSAB continually upgrades steel and equipment designs. SSAB EcoUpgraded saves CO2 both in steel production and during the full lifetime of the machine.
From the CO2 payback time and onwards, every extra hour brings additional savings.
