Choosing this machine
Haul road maintenance is the highest-return earthmoving activity on most mine sites and the first thing cut when budgets tighten. A graded, watered and compacted road increases truck cycle speeds, reduces fuel burn and dramatically extends tyre life. Demand for graders is consistently strong around the Kathu and Kuruman iron ore and manganese operations for exactly this reason.
Dry hire or wet hire
This machine is available on dry hire — machine only, you supply a qualified operator — or on wet hire, which includes a certified, mine-inducted operator, fuel and routine maintenance in a single rate.
We also handle transport to and from site and supply tyres for machines you already own.
