🚚 Mining Haul Truck Lab: Rimpull, Retarding on Grades, Tyre Loads and Haul Cycles
Open-pit haul-truck engineering: rimpull versus total resistance on a haul road, retarding and brake heating on descents, TKPH tyre heat rating, truck-shovel matching and the cost-optimal ramp grade, with a Blender-modelled generic rigid-frame truck, a terraced pit and a loading shovel.
Generic open-pit rigid-frame haul truck engineering: gear-by-gear rimpull against effective grade (rolling plus grade resistance), retarder and brake-disc heating on descents, TKPH tyre heat rating and cornering rollover, and a truck-shovel haul cycle with fleet queueing and a cost-optimal ramp grade. Unlike the dispatch, decline-haulage and electric road-truck labs, it connects one truck's rimpull curve, brake thermals and tyre loads to the cost per tonne, with a Blender-modelled truck, terraced pit and loading shovel.
