Volvo Trucks - Goliat, a Volvo FH16 that transports 500 tonnes of copper ore every day

Every time when I watch clips or read article's about truck's working in Northern Sweden it's alway's Volvo not Scania;-)

Synd att det inte var en Scania :)

amazing...!!

data 180000ton/år, cca. 500ton/year, cca. 6 plants, truck driving all days on year, 60km/h too little speed, why 3 axle on truck less from other

[kristofferwestlund]

Jag tycker det verkar vara lite med 500 ton per dag, med tanke på att det bara är åtta kilometer mellan anrikningverket och terminalen och lastbilen lastar 100 ton slig. Säg att de håller drygt 60 km/h i medelhastighet och det tar 15 minuter att lasta och lossa. Då borde man klara 200 ton i timman!

[kristofferwestlund]

To me, it seems a bit to little with 500 tonnes per day, given that it only is eight kilometers between the dressing plant and the terminal and the truck takes 100 tonnes of ore. Presume they have an average speed of 60 km/h and that it takes 15 minutes to load and unload. Then it would be reasonable to deliver 200 tonnes an hour.

@kristofferwestlund I think they got it wrong with the translation. The truck can't have 144 tons, that means each axle on the trailer should hold 15 tons, on the truck, the tractive double axles should hold 18 tons each, the lazy one 15 tons and the single drive axles 9.5 tons each. That's to much for such combination, for 540 bhp and for a icy road.

I'd rather think it has a maximum GVW of 104 tons.

@silverblackss Hi, fully loaded, the trailer has a total weight of 144 tonnes. The actual load is around 100 tonnes. The trailer is custom built for this purpose and can handle those weights. For example, the air suspension trailer has five axles that can handle 14-tonnes each.

Goliath doesn’t run on public roads. The road to and from the mill is a special road inside the Aitik mine area. In the spring, when the frost goes out and the road becomes "soft", they must load a little lighter.
