Because of the cost of heavy-duty mining equipment, plus the stress it is put under by a round-the-clock operating schedule and trying operating conditions, most mining equipment totals 500 hours of operation before it undergoes a preventive maintenance checkup. At that rate, the equipment is subject to a preventative maintenance
Dump trucks are one of the widely used and capital-intensive heavy earth moving equipment in the mining industry. Continuous monitoring of dump trucks' performance is essential for a mining system ...
Mining requires large, expensive equipment: it is known that transportation costs from 50–60% of total operational costs. ... especially a homogeneous fleet (Douglas, 1964, Smith et al., 1995, Morgan and Peterson, 1968). However, in the real world, the system is complex and mixed fleets are common. ... The production of the mine is ...
In order to develop a reliable and effective equipment life cycle model, the stages of equipment life have to be defined. Equipment life can be defined using three different variables namely physical life, economic life and profit life (Mitchell, 1998).Both the physical and economic life must be calculated when considering equipment life because they provide an effective …

A new piece of equipment will require less labor hours, but each year the equipment ages this cost rises. Once the maintenance expenses begin to affect your corporation's bottom line, it is time to look at replacing the equipment. Setting this benchmark again varies by the type of business you are in and the cost to replace the piece of equipment.
The size of an equipment fleet within a mining operation is fundamentally dictated by the production rate and the type of geological material being processed. To facilitate the selection of an optimal fleet configuration, Douglas (1964) devised a method aimed at determining the optimal number of trucks, denoted as , necessary to match the ...
