A very large, heavy-duty type of dump truck known as an articulated hauler, articulated dump truck (ADT), or sometimes a dump hauler is used to transport loads over rough terrain and occasionally on public roads.
The vehicle typically has all-wheel drive and two fundamental components: the hauler or trailer section, which includes the dump body, and the front section, which is typically referred to as the tractor. Hydraulic rams pivot the front in relation to the back for steering. It is an excellent off-road vehicle because all wheels travel in the same direction.
The chassis were initially designed as a soil and aggregate transporter (dumper), but they have since been utilized in a wide range of other fields, including construction, mining, agriculture, and highway maintenance.
ranging from a concrete mixer, water tanker, and container truck to an upsize off-road semi-trailer hauler (for use on the road), hook loader, or crane, as well as a platform for the woodchipper and used to transport timber. Due to the fact that it is only surpassed in off-road capabilities by tracked vehicles, its chassis has also been used for military purposes. The Archer Artillery System is one example.
The Global Articulated dump truck market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Doosan introduced its new 4×4 articulated dump truck (ADT). The 44 will complement the company’s existing line of 66 ADT models, one of several planned world premieres. In order to compete with rigid dump trucks (RDTs) in the 40-ton class, the 44 version of the DA45-7 ADT is intended.
The front truck and cab unit of the new 44 ADT are identical to those of the original 66 model; only the rear dumper unit has been modified. The 44 DA45-7 is a two-axle ADT with a ZF EP8-420 transmission, twin wheels at the rear, and a dumper section similar to that of 40-ton RDTs.
Our new 44 machine aims to compete with RDTs in the 40-ton class by providing a dumper product that delivers significantly more than RDTs. This is accomplished by providing superior operation on rougher roads, smoother surfaces, and steeper terrain.
The new 44 DA45-7 ADT not only performs better in conditions that are difficult for RDTs, but it also has a better turning radius than a comparable RDT and a width of less than 4 meters, removing the need for additional transportation.
The mining and tunneling industries particularly benefit from the rear dumper unit’s shorter turning radius and design, which is better suited to carrying flat and heavy rocks.
Volvo Trucks India launches six new heavy-duty trucks.The new range provides superior comfort and more workspace thanks to cab volume increases of up to 1,000 litres. The comfort of the cabin is further increased by improved thermal and noise insulation.
Direct visibility for the driver has increased by 10% thanks to redesigned mirrors, a wider windscreen, and reduced door lines. For safety, visibility is essential. Additionally, the high capacity FMX500 receives a second passenger corner camera and the option to add four more cameras for better visibility.
The new range comprises the FMX 460 8×4 20.3 cu.m for the mining segment, FMX 460 8×4 33cu.m for coal transportation, FMX 500 8×4 off-road dump truck for mining application, FM 420 8×4 23cu.m solution for road construction and mega infrastructure projects, FM 500 6×4 puller for over-dimensional / overweight cargo movement and FM 420 4×2 tractor solution for high-speed long haul application (e-commerce, Just-In-Time Supply Chains).
A totally new information and communication interface for the driver’s console is now available. It is designed to make it simpler to overview and handle various tasks, reducing stress and distraction.
All of the truck’s performance and maintenance characteristics, such as Pre-Trip check and intuitive traction display, are shown on a 12-inch completely digital driver interface. For entertainment, phone connectivity, driving assistance, real-time driver behaviour mapping, transportation information, and video monitoring, certain variations include an additional 9-inch touch screen display. Depending on the customer’s request, the vehicles may also have Android Auto and other third-party apps installed.
Safety is a top focus on all Volvo vehicles. A rear view camera on all mining vehicles assures safety during loading and unloading. All trucks come fitted with an electronic braking system (EBS).
The downhill cruise control feature establishes a limit speed to assist avoid unintended acceleration when riding downhill with a load, thus increasing brake life. The I-shift lever and software are new, and they incorporate extra drive modes.
The engine management system has been upgraded from Version 2.2 to 2.4, as have various design changes. When not needed, the I-Roll feature automatically disengages the engine. All of these features, together with enhanced aerodynamics and real-time driver tutoring, contribute to increased fuel economy.
The new 410 and 460 articulated dump trucks from John Deere have new trim packages that are intended to enhance operator comfort and application efficiency.
Additional machine benefits from the machine’s dump body restrictions, standard gearbox warm-up cycle and maximum speed limits serve to keep the operator and machine safer and in operation for longer.
The P-Tier versions were created with the operator in mind to support comfort and convenience of usage. Examples of how we are adopting customer feedback and making more enhancements include redesigning the layout of the components in the cab and grouping features together and packaging them in a meaningful way based on the application.
The 410 and 460 ADTs from John Deere have been added to its Performance Tiering lineup; they maintain the same fuel efficiency, dump body, and drive modes as the previous E-II versions.
Additional improvements to the exterior appearance and internal cab layout for all P-Tier models modernise the fleet while preserving the productivity these trucks have come to be known for.
Additionally, these machines have a number of common onboard settings that can be used to facilitate operation and boost productivity in any application. Customers may select between two trim levels and a number of optional packages, including as packages for improved operator comfort, cold weather situations, debris management, and maintenance and service capabilities.
The first trim package choice comes with well-known characteristics including a black exhaust stack, manually adjustable temperature settings, a standard seat and radio, a 15-amp converter, and halogen car lights.
The second trim option, which offers upgraded creature comforts and controls, includes a chrome exhaust stack, power-adjustable rearview mirrors, a premium seat and radio, a 25-amp converter, automatic temperature control in the operator’s station, and LED car lights.
The P-Tier ADTs come standard with a range of owner and operator options that make operation simpler and boost jobsite safety. Rollover prevention, downhill dump protection, frame protection, hill hold, shuttle shifting, and descent control are a few examples of the onboard features that help reduce operator inputs and enable more straightforward operation.
Hyundai launched the HA30 and HA45, its first articulated dump trucks. The company worked with its new sister company, Hyundai Doosan Infracore, to create the 28-ton-payload HA30 and the 41-ton HA45.
The construction division of Doosan Infracore was acquired by Hyundai Heavy Industries last year, and the two have since operated independently under the Hyundai Genuine brand with plans to work together on technology and machinery. To better serve its customers in the aggregates and infrastructure construction industries, Hyundai is eager to enter the ADT market.
The new ADT models are the first results of Hyundai Construction Equipment and Hyundai Doosan Infracore’s combined design, engineering, and production competence.According to Hyundai, the manufacturers will keep their distinct management structures and dealer networks in place, and “the two divisions intend deeper integration in R&D, design, engineering, procurement, and manufacturing.
