China’s first large-size mining dumper (400t) successfully rolled off the production line in Xiangtan Jiuhua Industrial Park in Hunan Province. This device was independently developed and manufactured by CERI (Xiangtan) Heavy Industrial Equipment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Capital Engineering & Research Incorporation Limited (CERI). Basing upon the technical preparation over the past years, CERI (Xiangtan) Heavy Industrial Equipment Co., Ltd. independently researched and developed the HMTK-6000 mining dumper (400t). The dumper is 16.02m in length, 9.65m in width and 7.55m in height, with a tyre diameter of 4.03m, a designed full-load capacity of 360 tons (equivalent to the standard total weight of six railway carriages), and the maximum speed of 64km/h. The dumper can be widely used in the fields of exploitation of strip mines (such as coal, steel, copper, gold and oil sand) and transportation of soil-rocks, which can play an active role in enhancing the mining productivity and reducing the transportation costs for enterprises in strip mines.
