Duratray dump bodies are fabricated in each region to reduce transport costs while maximising the allowable payload.

Duratray International’s (Duratray) Smart Tray is the most advanced dump tray for mining and construction trucks. The Smart Tray can monitor its condition (structural and wear) automatically and report to the user online and in real-time.

Duratray is a major global name in designing and fabricating innovative, customised dump bodies with capacities from 40 to 400 tonnes.

Over 2,000 Duratray dump bodies operate in mines and quarries worldwide, including at Tarmac’s giant Mountsorrel quarry in Leicestershire, central England. Six Duratrays are working well on the site’s Cat 777G trucks.

Duratray dump bodies are fabricated in each region to reduce transport costs while maximising the allowable payload. The novel suspended floor design also significantly reduces noise contamination. The dump bodies are designed to handle materials such as aggregates, copper, gold, nickel, diamonds, bauxite, manganese, coal, iron ore, and mineral sands.

The Duratray dump bodies' benefits are said to include higher payload capacity, lower maintenance costs, reduced carryback where applicable, high resistance to extreme abrasion, and significantly reduced loading noise.

    An innovative asphalt plant is allowing the use of recycled materials and achieving major cost benefits - Mike Woof reports. UK construction firm FM Conway is seeing the benefit of the €11.5 million (£10 million) it has invested in its asphalt production facilities at Erith in Kent, close to UK capital London, since buying the site in 2005. The biggest single investment in the facility has been a new Benninghoven asphalt plant, which was commissioned in June 2010 and is now the core of the Erith operation.
