The dump trucks, capable of carrying 130-136 tonnes of rock mass, will play a crucial role in the transportation process at the open-pit gold mine in Bodaybo District.
The heart of the BelAZ 7513T mining truck is a highly efficient diesel engine that generates 1,588 horsepower. The company's special pneumatic-hydraulic suspension system ensures excellent maneuverability, smooth operation, and stability on mining roads.
The new BelAZ trucks have been designed to operate in harsh Siberian conditions, such as long winters with temperatures as low as -50 degrees Celsius and short, hot summers typical of the climate in Irkutsk Oblast.
