Ausroad Makes Tough, Purpose Built Road Maintenance and Mining Plant Equipment

Ausroad is one of the leading manufacturers of mining and road maintenance equipment in Australia. Their purpose-built stemming trucks have the largest payload capacity in Australia and they are well known for maximising the efficiency and safety of stemming operations on-site.

Not only that, but if you are looking for an emulsion sprayer for sale, then you can’t go wrong with the Ausroad emulsion units, which are custom-built to your specifications.

Ausroad stemming trucks make short work of filling blast holes

When you are looking to buy or hire mining equipment, then Ausroad have everything you need.

Can I Hire Tools for Stemming Blast Holes?

Ausroad has two stemming trucks available for hire – one is the normal truck you are most probably used to seeing and the other is a new design, which is an Australian innovation and isn’t found anywhere else in the world. Let’s take a look at both of these stemming trucks:

The normal type of stemming truck

When you need to hire mining equipment in Australia, the leaders in the field are Ausroad, whose stemming trucks have the largest payload capacity in Australia. Their in-house design means that you can deliver 26 tonnes of stemming in an easy 15 minutes with the entire process controlled from the driver’s cab. This makes stemming blast holes a quick and efficient operation.

Another contribution to the time saving factor are the truck hydraulics, which make the stemming process much more precise, resulting in time saved and less wastage. All of this massively increases the efficiency in stemming blast holes, as well as the safety factor on site.

The new stemming contour loaders

The first in the world, this is a radio-controlled vehicle that makes stemming blast holes across uneven or hilly terrain an absolute breeze. The rubber tracks make this loader very agile and the radio controls keep the operator at a safe distance. This means that work is not constantly interrupted, because the truck needs to negotiate difficult terrain – the contour loader just shoots along and does its job in double quick time.

When you want to keep the job on time and supercharge your efficiency and safety, you can’t go past this radio-controlled contour stemming loader. As far as mining equipment in Australia goes, this has to be one of the best loaders you can hire – and one of the most fun to operate!

Of course, you can actually drive and operate the loader yourself, but then you lose all the fun of operating a radio controlled stemming truck! Don’t forget this has a 1.5 tonne capacity and is purpose designed for stemming blast holes on steep terrain, where it is unsafe for regular trucks to operate.

So if you are in the market to hire a stemming truck, give some serious thought to the new stemming contour loader from Ausroad.

More than twice the speed: Ausroad offers a better stemming solution

Challenge

A large mining and resources company was seeking to improve efficiency and safety by reducing manual handling during their stemming process. Their system involved much room for error. The previously used front-end loaders required multiple trips back and forth to stem holes. With explosives already loaded in holes awaiting stemming, and denotation cords extending from the collar of those holes, the excessive vehicle movements were increasing the risk of dangerous and expensive misfires. They needed a better way to get the job done.

Solution

We designed a purpose-built Stemming Truck to specifically meet the carrying capacity of the trucks this client already used. The truck significantly reduced the risk of misfire, as there were far fewer vehicle movements, more accurate control in stemming placement and consequently less chance of running over the detonating cords.

Result

According to statistics provided by this client, they can now successfully stem more than 40 holes with 26 tonnes of stemming within 15 minutes. Overall, this has resulted in 60 per cent less time spent completing each production area. Additionally, with fewer vehicle movements and manual handling, the safety of the process has vastly improved. Following the successful delivery of this client’s first, purpose-built Ausroad Stemming Truck, the client has since ordered an additional four trucks.
