Extra Dump Body Features:Tailgate for Coal and Coal Rejects

Controlling rock spillage, increasing the volumetric capacity and providing precise payload target are some of the bene�ts attributed to the tailgate feature added to dump bodies.

As a response to our client’s enquiries and needs, Duratray o�ers additional features to �t on dump bodies such as the mechanically-operated Tailgate for coal and coal rejects. This design has been proven at mine sites in the Bowen Basin region of Australia and tested applications have obtained increased productivity in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales.

This light weight steel design of Duratray tailgate provides

improvement and reduction of spillage on ramps when handling wet sloppy material with high water content.

Duratray has been awarded a contract to manufacture and assemble on site 6 units of Suspended Dump Bodies for Caterpillar 789C rear dump trucks.

With extensive experience designing this unique type of tray for a wide variety of applications, the new SDBs will be operating at one of the largest gold mines in Central Asia, Kumtor Gold open cut mine, located atop the Tien Shan mountain range of Kyrgyzstan about 350 Km south east of the capital Bishkek. The estimated total open pit reserves are 9.7 million contained ounces of gold and operating in temperatures that range between +23ºC to -49ºC .

After site visits and inspections the maintenance and engineering teams from Kumtor and Duratray respectively identi�ed several opportunities for operational improvements.

Existing and target payloads were analysed determining that the Duratray SDB was an attractive alternative to steel dump bodies in o�ering both high resistance to abrasion and increasing payloads signi�cantly. The delivery of the �rst SDB units is expected to be in mid-2014.
