Liebherr T 282 C - Manual (Page 3)

Solution Performance
In order to increase production at the Cortez properties, Barrick-
Cortez purchased eight 400 short ton payload Liebherr T 282 B
haul trucks in 2004. As the T 282 B trucks proved their worth
with reliable performance and high availability, Barrick - Cortez
placed re-orders to ultimately result in a total of twenty three
Liebherr T 282 B AC Drive, Diesel Electric, 400 ton payload haul
trucks at the Cortez property. The Liebherr T 282 B is powered
by the MTU DD 20V4000 - 3650 hp engine and has inherent low
maintenance requirements due to the utilization of the proven
AC drive system. Liebherr also established a new 20,000 sq. ft.
Liebherr parts warehouse and service facility within close prox-
imity to the Cortez properties demonstrating Liebherr’s continu-
ous goal to be the most dedicated and responsive mining equip-
ment customer support provider. After the fi rst Cortez T 282 B trucks were delivered in 2004 and
reliably went to work, consistent reorders rapidly took the fl eet
total to twenty three Liebherr T 282 B diesel electric 400 ton
haul trucks. Built rugged to take the challenges of open pit min-
ing operations, the T 282 B weighs less than competitors within
the Ultra Class truck category allowing a better ratio of payload
to empty vehicle weight. The AC drive system has continuous
high acceleration and retard performance and together with the
T 282 B’s high horsepower diesel engine provides the mine op-
erator with the benefi ts of fuel effi ciency and higher productivity.
Consistent high availability records for the Liebherr truck fl eet
enforces the fact that the Liebherr diesel electric trucks were a
wise choice for this mining operation.
