We are currently preparing a portion of our fleet for a new project scheduled to begin next month. As part of these upgrades, we have installed flotation tires on the front axles of our off-road haul trucks to improve mobility and maneuverability across soft and uneven terrain. This enhancement is intended to significantly reduce the risk of vehicles becoming immobilized in challenging ground conditions, while also improving operational efficiency and safety in the field.
For reference, the Caterpillar 730 articulated haul truck has an approximate operating weight of 73,180 lbs (33,195 kg), making proper tire flotation and ground pressure distribution critical when working in rough or unstable terrain.
