Truck and Loader Dictionary


First Edition 2012
2012
The First Edition of this Truck and Loader dictionary was started in 2010
and first released in 2012. Many hours were spent sourcing photos and
writing information. It has proved to be very popular and was universally
recognized as being a tremendous resource for anyone working in any
capacity in Truck and Loader operations. We were motivated by the
number of new people working in and around Truck and Loader operations
not being familiar with the terminology and jargon. This includes operators,
supervisors, maintenance personnel, engineers, managers, contractors
and consultants.
Special recognition is given for contribution of content to Jan Eike Sapper,
Trevor Trott, Graham Lumley and Mark Lewis for making this dictionary
possible.

There will always be variations in terminology across sites and it would be


impossible to capture all of these. We do however continue to encourage
your input. If there is something not included in this dictionary please send
us details and if possible photos. Send to dictionary@gbimining.com
Wherever we use information and/or photos provided by people outside
GBI we will acknowledge this if the entry is printed in future editions. Our
aim is to produce the second Edition in 2013.

This is a hard copy of the publication which we think is necessary for


people to have available in the field. Like the Cat Handbook we will
continue to produce this in hard copy as an ongoing resource. At some
point in the not too distant future we will produce an online version.

Adverse Conditions Dusty, Wet,


Inclement or poor visibility
There are times and circumstances when adverse driving conditions
require you to take extra care.
Adverse conditions including rain, snow, ice, and fog affect your
visibility. In these conditions vehicles become difficult to control on
curves or even on straight stretches when the surface is slippery.
Braking distances are also increased due to sub optimal road
conditions. If conditions are unsafe, follow your site procedures,
park up in a safe way and wait for conditions to improve or wait for
further instructions from your supervisor.

Bottom Loading - Truck Positioning


Bottom loading is defined as the excavator operating from the top of
the bench, and the truck being positioned on the floor below the
excavator. The excavator operator can position the truck at 45 or
90 depending on ground conditions and pit configuration.

The bottom loading technique maximizes excavator efficiency by


ensuring faster cycle times, giving better productivity output than top
loading.

For efficient bottom loading, the bench height for general operations
should be optimized as follows:

For stable or consolidated materials, the optimum bench


height should be four metres or approximately equal to the
stick length.
For unstable materials, the bench height should be slightly
less than the stick length.

Boom Jacking Rope Shovel


Boom jacking is the direct consequence of overcrowding by the
operator (pushing out too much), during the dipper filling cycle. As a
result of the operators action, the boom is raised in reference to its
normal working position causing the suspension ropes to become
slack and often rocking the shovel.
The dipper loading cycle stops when the boom is displaced; causing
lost time and minimising production because the boom falls on
recovery after being raised, major structural stresses and loads are
caused.

Haul Road Maintenance - Strategy


If there is spillage (loose rock / material) on the haul road due to
overloading or aggressive cornering, the haul truck operator must
contact the supervisor or the road maintenance machine to come
and clean-up and repair the haul road.
Damage to tyres (side wall cuts) is mainly due to spillage in the face
and on the haul roads. To enhance and speed up truck cycle time
haul roads should be regularly maintained.

Pot-holes and undulations etc. should be filled to minimize


wear and tear on the trucks.
To prevent excessive dust pollution, an allying compound
should be used or water should be applied to the haul roads.
The width of the road should be wide enough for the biggest
trucks used on the site to pass each other with a suitable
gap between them.
Also take into consideration the: grade, width, separation
berms, corner camber, demarcation, weight of load & truck
type, etc.
