How many 240t dumper does a mine need?
Depends on the mine. That's equivalent to a CAT 793, which is their second biggest one. Larger operations can have a fleet of 50 or more trucks. Smaller ones are in the 10-20 range. It all depends on the grade of ore, and how much overburden they need to get out of the way to get to it.
I like the 30 minute charge time. But how many hours does 1 charge last?
Great point. They don't say, but it would have to be economical for mining companies to be half interested
