MAXIMISING LOAD AND HAUL PRODUCTIVITY

SCHLAM'S HERCULES OPEN-CUT DUMP BODY IS NOW A HOUSEHOLD NAME IN THE MINING INDUSTRY.

- 

Hercules is a true testament to Schlam's business, offering clients a range of proven benefits from increased payload capacity to extended asset longevity, With a commitment to customer service and a foundation built on strong values, Schlam partners closely with its clients to tackle unique challenges to optimise payload productivity.

Tackling payload challenges together

Guided by a commitment to customer service and a core set of values, Schlam has a reputation for assisting its clients in overcoming any challenge.

Schlam's success can also be attributed to its focus on innovation, demonstrated by the triumph of its Hercules open-cut dump bodies as they continue to deliver significant payload savings for miners across the globe.

According to Schlam Payload AsiaPacific managing director Hendrik Mueller, the success of Hercules has ensued from a culture of continuous product improvement.

"Our clients are our partners, and we collaborate to tackle the payload challenges they encounter," Mueller said. "Their challenges drive us to push our limits, resulting in continuous improvements in our payload products."

Built lighter and stronger

Characterised by its innovative curved shape, the Hercules open-cut dump body has become one of the most sought-after payload solutions among leading miners.

The Hercules dump body provides both a reduced body weight and a longer service life. This is achieved by targeting weight reduction in all nonwearing areas and optimising lighter yet stronger materials for structural components - all without sacrificing structural integrity.

"Traditionally, miners have faced a choice: a lightweight body that offers a greater payload but has a shorter lifespan, or a heavier body that lasts longer but reduces the payload capacity," Mueller said.

"Hercules was developed as a product to offer both."
