Standardisation keeps mine trucks moving

The haul trucks at the BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) Daunia metallurgical coal mine in Queensland Australia shift around 226 tonnes of coal or overburden (soil and rock) every load.

The fleet of 16 trucks run 24 hours a day and each truck needs to be serviced every 250 hours, or about every two weeks.

The time it takes our maintenance team to service trucks is critical to our mine efficiency and productivity because it directly impacts how long they are out of action. And it is vital they are serviced safely, effectively and consistently.

That’s why we are excited about some recent improvements in the service time for the truck fleet.
