Coal mine opts for Terex Trucks articulated haulers
The Gornji Vakuf-based mining company, Rudnik Uglja Gracanica, has purchased two additional TA300 articulated dump trucks for hauling coal at the company’s Gracanica mine in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Fig.), bringing the total of Terex trucks in the fleet to nine. The 28 tonne capacity TA300s will work two shifts per day hauling coal from the pit to the storage yard. The coal is then transported to a power plant by on-highway trucks or rail. Situated 9 km northwest of Bugojno, the Gracanica mine measures 2000 m by 800 m alongside the river Vrbas. The TA300 is equipped with independent front suspension to enable excellent traction control, making it ideal for the rocky Bosnian and Herzegovina coal mine. The articu‑
lated dump truck has a maximum payload of 28 tonnes (30.9 US tons), and 276 kW (370 hp) engine power.
