Lihir mine adds five Duratray truck bodies to fleet






The Lihir gold mine in PNG is expanding its ore haul truck fleet to 39, bringing with it an order for Victorian manufacturer Duratray for five of the company’s Duratray Suspended Dump Bodies (SDB)

The first Duratray was delivered to Lihir during the mine development activities by the Roche-Thiess Joint Venture in 1995 (pictured).

The bodies display impact-resistant and shock absorption qualities plus the abrasion-resistant properties of rubber wear and a combination of specialised steels. T

The company has supplied suspended dump bodies for CAT 785B haul trucks since 1996.

The Duratray has since launched its Lightweight XP dump body made with high-technology steels allowing weight reductions of up to 40 per cent and transportation costs per tonne by 25 per cent.

Duratray is part of Conymet International Group, with more than 2,000 dump bodies ranging in size from 36 to 360 tonnes operating in seven countries.
