Payload Improvement

Overview

The suboptimal payload capacity of trucks and loaders may limit the transport of a mine’s desired amounts of material – ultimately resulting in inflated operational costs and reduced mine productivity. While accurate measurement of payload weight is the key to monitoring and improving load and haul efficiency, factors such as dust, moisture, or variations in truck weight distribution must first be addressed.

The proficiency of operators in handling load and haul equipment, variations in the ore body’s geology, density and weight, all impact payload management, and once optimized can result in significant savings for a mine.

Key Client Challenges

How can we accurately measure, monitor and optimize payload and ensure consistent improvement in truck weight distribution?

How do we balance increasing the payload capacity of our trucks and loaders without compromising safety and equipment integrity?

What technologies and data analytics solutions are available to identify improvement opportunities to enhance payload management efficiency in our load and haul process?

How YCP Unison Can Help

The proficiency of operators in handling load and haul equipment can significantly impact payload performance. Insufficient operator training or skill gaps may result in improper loading, inefficient hauling practices, and suboptimal payload utilization.

Meanwhile, with the vast amounts of data being collected by mining companies, the challenge today lies in effectively integrating and analyzing this data to identify opportunities for payload improvement and implementing targeted strategies.

Our YCP Unison experts can work with your team to identify ways to increase payload capacity for a more productive mine. By implementing the systems, technologies, processes, and performance metrics needed to understand current load and haul performance, mines can operate at maximum efficiency while never compromising safety.
