Rethinking in-pit haulage

Having endured tough market conditions in the past three years, KwaZulu-Natal-based Blurock Quarries has been investigating efficiency improvement initiatives to reduce operating costs and enhance profitability. One area that is receiving attention is in-pit haulage, a major cost driver for any quarry or mining operation. As part of rethinking haulage, Blurock is one of the first local quarries to trial the Scania G460 XT mining tipper at its operation.
