Performance Monitoring
Performance Monitoring
The Payload Meter (optional) is a measuring tool to identify the bucket payload. Due to the immediately shown bucket payload the operator is able to load the truck more efficient. Reduced truck loading time due to decreased required passes per truck. The payload meter system will be integrated into the KOMTRAX Plus monitoring system. Reportings on screen will show the payload history. The PLM is a helpful tool for data analysis and helps the mine manager to plan their fleets.
Customization
Customization
We offer standardized front shovel and backhoe solutions referring to a standard density of 1.8 t/m³ for our machines. In specific cases, your operation may require a solution with a customized bucket. Therefore we can offer you alternative bucket sizes and wear packages.
