ASARCO Ray, a property of ASARCO LLC, has increased its fleet of T 282 B diesel electric, AC drive mining trucks to 13 units after the recent commissioning of four new ultra class trucks. The 400 short ton payload trucks will be utilized to move higher quantities of material more efficiently at the Ray open pit mine, as older and smaller capacity haulage equipment is gradually phasing out of operation. The Liebherr T 282 B mining trucks are equipped with MTU/DDC 20V4000 diesel engines and Michelin 56/80R63 low profile tires. In the mining industry, strong product support is the key to success. With that in mind, Liebherr has been focusing heavily on customized service structures with each equipment sale as the basis for a long lasting partnership with customers. In case of ASARCO Ray mine, Liebherr offers 24/7 technical support, parts warehouse and an office on site, in addition to three service trucks.
Located approximately sixty miles southeast of Phoenix, Arizona, the Ray Operation consists of a 250,000 ton per day open pit mine with a 30,000 ton/day concentrator, a 103 million pound/year solvent extraction-electro winning operation with associated maintenance and administrative support infrastructure. |
