1990
While equipment built to accommodate urban environments, by generating less noise, vibrations and emission, became more common, super sized equipment that could withstand harsh working conditions in places like giant mines were also developed.
Compared to the previous models with 78-ton capacity, this new model could load up to 91 tons. It was fitted with a new monitoring system that had a self-diagnosis function. Its mechatronics was notably improved as well. The high capacity air conditioner and the operator seat with a headrest were part of the standard specs, which greatly improved drivers' comfort level.
Load capacity: 91,000kg
Dump truck
The history of the dump truck as a transporting vehicle is also the history of increasing the amount of loading to improve productivity at construction sites. At mines especially, new technology is being introduced consistently even today. Enlarging the size by mechanical and electrical formulas, and adding the GPS control system are some of the examples.
