"We have had a successful experience with Duratray, which has been very good and excellent support……..As I have said many times to other mines interested in these boxes , we have the most extreme weather and rock conditions of any mine and these boxes have more than exceed our expectations."

John de Boer
Maintenance Superintendent
Rio Tinto - Diavik Diamond Mine – Arctic Circle, Canada
 

“ Key reasons for the usage of the Duratrays in different mines has been to combat specific issues associated with mines such as carry back, operational health and safety for drivers and most importantly the minimal amount of maintenance hours required to maintain the Duratrays”

Brett MacDonald

Xstrata Anglo JV- Collahuasi Mine- Chile
 

“ We did some studies and found that the carry back is reduced.”

“…….the benefits are primarily operator comfort and reduced maintenance.”

Colin B Bower
Maintenance Superintendent
BHP-Rio Tinto - Escondida Mine - Chile
 

“ Initially expected to only see benefits associated with carry back-which they did, however additional benefits also resulted …….Operator acceptance was very high as the design reduced jarring when loading due to reduced load impact………..Duratray provided training and support throughout the process…..Don’t expect to have to change mat during life of the truck.”

“The driver can hardly feel the load being put in the truck and the noise is decreased significantly”

Ed Krats
Senior Advisor-Continuous Improvement
Iron Ore Company of Canada
 

“Less tire and suspension wear, less maintenance costs- floors can be changed out in one day, less loading impact, smoother to operate.”

Mike Makarenko
Mine Superintendent
BHP- Ekati Diamond Mine- Arctic Circle, Canada
 

“The bodies have not had to be cleaned once. The material build up is completely eliminated. With extra payload, plus the fact that the entire load can be unloaded, ever time, the productivity is up some 30%.”

Murray Fox
Mining Manager
BHP Gemco - Australia
 

“ I found it could carry more payload as it was lighter than a conventional body and could take bigger volume. I then started to calculate the financial benefits and I realized this was the product to choose.”
