KOMATSU Australia says a HM400-2 articulated dump truck and a WA430-6 wheel loader recently purchased by Hy-Tec Quarries have been delivering outstanding fuel economy and productivity since being delivered.

According to Komatsu, the HM400-2 articulated dump truck has been working at Hy-Tec’s Yarrabee Road Quarry north of Port Macquarie, on the NSW North Coast, and the WA430-6 is operating at its Dunbogan sand quarry, to the south of Port Macquarie.

Hy-Tec Quarries says the Komatsu HM400-2 articulated dump truck is used for short-distance load and haul operations from the quarry face to the crushing plant, while the WA430-6 loader is primarily used in a sales application, being fitted with a Loadrite weigh scale system. The HM400-2 is loaded by a 40t excavator, then hauls less than 1km to the crushing plant.

Hy-Tec Quarries is a fully owned subsidiary of Adelaide Brighton Cement, operating quarries and concrete plants in Victoria and NSW, which supply products to customers throughout Australia’s east coast, from Victoria to Queensland.
