OVERLOADED haul trucks can jeopardise the safety of mining systems while eating away at a company’s profitability. If a truck is habitually carrying oversized payloads, frames and structures are placed under unnecessary stress, truck bodies and tyres wear out pre-emptively and component life can also be shortened, increasing the risk of premature failure and unplanned downtime.

Because of this, more companies are turning to technology to prevent overloading. Mine production monitoring systems capture real-time payload data for mining trucks so managers can identify when and where overloading is taking place, and take action to prevent it....
