Elphinstone was excited to deliver the first of eleven (11) Cat® 789 Mining Truck dump bodies to Grange Resources through William Adams Pty Ltd. Grange Resources has long supported local business in Tasmania, so when the mining company required new dump bodies for 11 of its Cat 789 Mining Trucks, it turned once more to local manufacturer Elphinstone – and William Adams – for assistance.
When Elphinstone introduced the new low-profile E15 series to the market in January, it was a welcome addition to the existing range of E10 (formerly WR810) underground support vehicles.
Models in the E15 range include the 7m3 agitator, the E15 delivery (with wireless remote crane), the E15 flat deck, the E15 water tank for dust suppression, and the E15 fuel and lube service truck, with various other configurations presently in development.
Elphinstone is excited to have recently dispatched two E15 Agitators to Evolution Mining’s Ernest Henry Mine through Hastings Deering QLD.
Headlining series, the new E15 Agitator 7m3 is built to thrive in harsh underground hard rock mining conditions. Specialising in the transport of shotcrete or concrete for backfilling voids, the Agitator features outstanding ride and handling at full capacity improving cycle times and increasing productivity. Capable of onboard mixing during transit and loading via the chutes or conveyor.
