In-pit haulage

When you need to maximise your in-pit productivity, the choice is simple.

Scania’s reliable and robust in-pit heavy tippers and mining trucks are engineered to keep your payloads moving in even the toughest driving conditions.

Through enhanced robust and a low weight design, our in-pit haulers give you unrivalled high load-bearing capabilities. Together with world-leading fuel economy, you can expect impressive margins in the field and on your bottom line.

The power of many

By increasing the number of moving parts across your chain, together with the industry’s lowest total operating economy, our agile in-pit haulers deliver you far lower cycle times compared conventional mine haulage solutions.

One of our customers was able to reduce in-pit cycle time from 90 to 50 minutes based upon a customised product and analysis of the total operation cycle.

World-leading fuel economy

The Scania Super and V8 are the world’s most fuel-efficient engines in their class.

When specified with our heavy-duty gearbox range, the result is an off-road powertrain unlike any other – giving you uncompromising performance and unbeatable fuel economy in the toughest in-pit operations with high payloads.

High uptime

Through enhanced powertrain robustness, Scania’s in-pit mining trucks are engineered to keep your production rolling longer beyond the industry average.

This contributes to extended service intervals which, together with the easier serviceability of our vehicles, give you among the lowest repair and maintenance costs in the industry.

Unrivalled agility

Scania powertrains are engineered to give you unrivalled manoeuvrability and driveability in the field, delivering higher ground clearance, a tighter turning radius and the quietest and smoothest drive in the mining industry.

Electric vehicles for in-pit mining

Improving powertrain fuel efficiency of in-pit haulers is the first crucial step on a pathway to zero-emissions electric mining operations.

Scania is leading the development of battery-powered electric in-pit vehicles together with mining partners, ensuring that in-pit performance, productivity, and safety standards are all up to the grade.

This includes the live operational trial of one of the world’s first fully electric in-pit heavy tippers together with Sweden’s LKAB.
