Equipment options

Our mining applications experts are at your service to study production at your site backed by figures and under your specific conditions.
A simulation can thus be performed together

• size of required fleet
• loading machine options
• impacts of modification to your loading/haulage system (application changes, track profile modification, increase in availability rate, ...)

You can also highlight the importance of backup equipment, scrapers, “bulls” on tyres and the consequences on your running costs.

Studies are performed by means of CATERPILLAR software such as:

• FPC (Fleet Production and Costs): Comprehensive software treating production and costs for loading / haulage, integrating servo machine costs.
• EMF (Earthmoving Fundamentals): More generally, from scraper working to trench digging.
• Dozsim (Dozer simulation): Earth works with bulldozer. Software underpinned by a CAD program to model the deposit with precision.
• EIA (Equipment Investment Analysis): Financial impact of investing in a machine
