Given that coal resources are usually located in remote areas, open-pit coal mines must consider the impact of pit depth on transportation distance and load, as well as the adaptability of transportation equipment to extreme weather conditions, to effectively control mining costs. As a professional developer and manufacturer of off-road dump trucks, we can design customized, high-quality, efficient, and safe truck solutions tailored to the specific needs of our customers’ mining areas.
The Thar Coal Mine is the largest coal field discovered to date, with coal reserves of 175 billion tons, making it the 7th largest coal field in the world.
Site Conditions
The Thar Coal Mine is located in the Thar Desert, where the surface temperature can exceed 60°C throughout the year, with typical desert conditions like soft land and dusty environment.
Our Solution
According to the desert conditions, we conducted a year-long field trial and product improvement to develop a truck model specifically designed for desert operations. This model features high-temperature-resistant and radiation-proof materials, a three-stage air filtration system, an optimized cooling system, specially formulated desert tires with unique tread patterns, a high-strength wear-resistant dump body, and specialized engines and axles. Since 2016, we have supplied over 300 TL875 diesel off-road dump trucks for related projects in the Thar Coal Mine, maintaining an average uptime of over 95%.
The coal mine is located in Wuhai City and Otog Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia.
Annual extraction: 9 coal mines (2 mines with an annual capacity of 600,000 tons, 6 mines with an annual capacity of 1.2 million tons, and 1 mine with an annual capacity of 1.8 million tons)
Site Conditions
Heavy-load uphill and downhill transportation with high operational loads, demanding exceptional power, reliability, and safety from transport vehicles
Transportation distance: 2-3 km (Guanghui Coal Mine: single trip 6km)
Our Solution
We customized our diesel off-road dump trucks to meet the specific conditions of the Guangna Open-Pit Coal Mine project. These trucks are highly adaptable to harsh conditions, effectively addressing the challenge of short-distance bulk material transport under extreme conditions, providing users with safe, reliable, and cost-effective transportation equipment. Our trucks maintain an uptime of over 90%.
Baiyinhua Open-Pit Coal Mine is located in Xilingol League, Inner Mongolia, with an annual extraction of 20 million tons.
Site Conditions
Heavy-load uphill transportation
Transportation distances: 3.5-8 km
Environmental factors: minimum temperature of -35°C
Our Solution
To meet our customer’s requirements for high payload, long-distance, and low-temperature transportation, we recommended our TL875, TL875M, TL885, and TL891 diesel off-road dump truck models. These trucks are well-suited for long-distance transportation in large open-pit mines, maintaining an uptime of over 90%, and are ideal for large-scale mining operations.
This mining project is located in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, with an annual mining volume of 30 million cubic meter.
Site Conditions
Heavy-load uphill transportation
Our Solution
Shenhua Group’s Wujiata Open-Pit Mine project marks the first large-scale application of our diesel off-road dump trucks in an open-pit mine project. After replacing road dump trucks, the total number of transport vehicles used in the project decreased by 56%, while transportation capacity increased by 127%. Our trucks have improved overall mining transportation efficiency by 4.2 times, significantly outperforming road dump trucks in transport capacity, uptime, and operational safety in the mining area, with uptime consistently above 90%.
The Zhundong Open-Pit Coal Mine project is located in the Zhundong Economic and Technological Development Zone, Jimusaer County, Changji Prefecture, Xinjiang. The mine has a exploitable reserve of 1.7 billion tons, an annual extraction of 35 million tons, and a mining area of 24.21 km², with an average coal seam thickness of 65.38 m.
Site Conditions
Heavy-load uphill
Material density: 1.7 tons/m³
7-10 cubic meter excavators for loading
Our Solution
Based on the customer’s needs, we recommended our TL891 diesel off-road dump trucks. In comparison to 70-ton wide-body trucks under similar conditions, our trucks save over 10% on fuel consumption per kilometer, significantly enhancing mining efficiency. In application, our truck uptime has stabilized at over 90%, making them highly suitable for large-scale mining operations.
