Assembling a Komatsu Haulage Truck

---

Assembling one of the twenty-three new 250 tonne Komatsu haulage trucks. The dumps arrived by rail in three separate pieces; they were welded together in the assembly yard and then fitted onto the chassis. For an idea of size, please note the full-size semi trailer parked near the truck.

This haulage truck is near the end of assemblage. Note the stairway leading to the cab of the truck. Although the cab looks small it can comfortably seat two adults. The fleet of haulage trucks and other mine equipment are directed from the mine dispatch center.
