This new body design is made of Hardox® 450 and 500, increasing the dumper’s load capacity by about 11% compared to the original design. It is partly due to the redesign and upgrading of wear liners, saving approximately 80% of their weight.
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.
