SCHLAM’S HERCULES OPEN-CUT DUMP BODY IS NOW A HOUSEHOLD NAME IN THE MINING INDUSTRY.
MAXIMISING PAYLOAD PRODUCTIVITY WORLDWIDE

Offering clients a range of proven benefits from increased payload capacity to extended asset longevity, Hercules is a true testament to Schlam's business.

With a commitment to customer service and a foundation built on strong values, Schlam partners closely with its clients to tackle unique challenges and optimise payload productivity.

Stronger together

Guided by a commitment to customer service and backed by a strong set of values, Schlam has a reputation for assisting its clients in overcoming any challenge.

Innovation continues to play a big part in Schlam's success, demonstrated by the triumph of its Hercules open-cut dump bodies, which continue to deliver significant payload savings for miners across the globe.

According to Schlam Payload AsiaPacific managing director Hendrik Mueller, the success of Hercules has ensued from a culture of continuous product improvement, based on the specific needs of clients.

"Our clients are our partners, and we collaborate to tackle the payload challenges they encounter," Mueller said. "Their challenges drive us to push our limits, resulting in continuous improvements in our payload products."

Payload productivity

The Hercules open-cut dump body, characterised by its innovative curved shape, has become one of the most sought-after payload solutions among leading miners.

Hercules bodies offer both reduced body weight and a longer service life, achieved by targeting weight reduction in all non-wearing areas and optimising lighter materials for structural components - all without sacrificing structural integrity.

"Traditionally, miners have faced a choice: a lightweight body that offers a greater payload but has a shorter lifespan, or a heavier body that lasts longer but reduces the payload capacity," Mueller said. "Hercules was developed to offer both."
