The B60E articulated dump truck (ADT) is the latest addition to Bell Equipment’s E-series.
The 4×4 truck has more off-road capability than conventional rigid trucks as a result of its full articulation steering and oscillation joint, which keeps all four wheels on the ground and fully utilises traction available.
Its nominal payload is rated at 55 metric tonnes. Far larger than a conventional ADT bin, the B60E’s flat-bottomed 35m³ body resembles a rigid truck bin in its dimensions and geometry, which makes it fully compatible with existing loading equipment in mines and quarries.
Powered by the latest Mercedes-Benz engine, the B60E offers low cost per tonne, with an economical drivetrain that delivers significantly lower fuel consumption than a traditional rigid truck, says a Bell Equipment spokesperson.
“Rain and excess water can greatly affect traction and, whilst many rigid trucks do not have the capability to cope in these conditions, the B60E, with its all-wheel traction, can continue to work safely with no loss in production,” adds the spokesperson. “Less ground maintenance is required at the load and dump sites, which saves time and money.”
CablePrice says the B60E is ideally suited for bulk earthworks, quarries and mines that experience conditions in which rigid dump trucks are out of their depth.
CablePrice also offers the B25E, B30E, B40E and B50E models. The machines are fitted with items that other manufacturers typically include only as optional extras such as reverse camera and reverse radar detection systems, embedded payload system and keyless start with lock-out codes for added security.
