Innovative water-powered drilling technology developed in Sweden is claimed to drill straighter and deeper than conventional systems. Said to be environmentally friendly, the Wassara drilling technology has been developed and perfected over 20 years by Swedish iron ore producer LKAB. Using the Wassara drills has allowed LKAB to drastically cut operating costs. A complete range is now offered and suits applications within ground engineering, dam rehabilitation and exploration drilling. The heart in the syste

Liebherr has added a second model to its articulated hauler range with the TA240. The 40 tonne capacity truck has a 27m3 body and a 6x6 driveline. Power comes from a 16.2 litre Stage IIIB Liebherr V8 diesel engine delivering 350kW (476hp). This enables the truck to reach maximum speeds of up to 57km/h. A high performance retarder helps to bring the truck to a halt and can be preselected, with both the engine brake and the retarder working as soon as the driver lifts their foot from the throttle pedal.
