A New 130 Tonne Dump Truck Put Into Service At Vostochno-Beyskiy Open-Pit Mine

"We steadily increase the capacity and performance of the truck fleet at Vostochon-Beyskiy Open-Pit Mine," says Alexey Keelin, the managing director of the Chernogorsk subsidiary of OAO SUEK. "The 130-tonne BeLAZ dump trucks are almost three times more efficient than 55-tonne dump trucks, which used to be the main hauling force during overburden stripping and coal mining at the open-pit site."
By increasing the production volume every year the Vostochno-Beyskiy Open-Pit Mine produced over 2 mln tonnes of coal by 2009, and ranked among the top producers in the coal industry of Khakassia.
