In 2012, our team was tasked with redesigning the Bulk Master Series 7 truck, a crucial vehicle for bulk explosive delivery in the mining industry. Our goals were to increase durability, reduce weight, and enhance efficiency and safety.

To achieve this, we replaced the existing welded structure with advanced sheet metal profiles. This innovation made the truck significantly stronger and more resistant to damage while also reducing its overall weight, leading to improved fuel efficiency.

Further enhancements included:

  • A redesigned loading system that operates faster and more efficiently, reducing downtime.
  • A user-friendly control system that simplifies operation for drivers.
  • An updated safety system that meets the latest industry standards, ensuring a safer working environment.

This project was a collaborative effort with Orica Mining Services, a leader in bulk explosive delivery systems. Together, we created a truck that not only meets the rigorous demands of the mining industry but also sets new standards for performance and safety.

Benefits of the Redesign

  • Enhanced Durability: The truck’s robust construction reduces maintenance needs and extends its operational lifespan.
  • Weight Reduction: The lighter design improves fuel efficiency, offering economic and environmental advantages.
  • Increased Efficiency: The faster loading system saves time and boosts productivity.
  • Superior Safety: Compliance with updated safety standards minimizes risks.
  • Ease of Use: The intuitive control system enhances the user experience.

The redesigned Bulk Master Series 7 truck is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence in engineering, providing the mining industry with a superior asset.
