hand, the patented rear leaf spring clamping mechanism significantly enhances the system’s reliability. Driving a dream To cater to the specialised needs of the global mining sector, Tonly integrates its range of dump trucks with a high-strength mining-specific oil cylinder system, complemented by optimised connecting support. This results in heightened thrust improved lifting stability, and enhanced safety. The adoption of a three-stage combined air filter further enhances the efficiency of air filtering, ultimately leading to improved air cleanliness. Innovating the steering system, Tonly introduces a fully hydraulic steering system that promises lighter steering and reduced steering oil temperatures. The benefits of this innovation encompass extended system component life cycles and heightened truck safety. Comfort and safety in mind Amidst the innovations of the new trucks lies a spacious cabin design that prioritises the operator’s comfort and safety. The expansive visibility, combined with effective noise reduction technology, fosters a productive and serene environment for operators, translating into enhanced productivity. Moreover, an anti-collision beam and bumper structure provide critical protection to both the driver and the truck. Equally important is the truck tyres, which are considered some of the best. Tonly’s commitment to excellence extends to the design of special mining tyres, characterized by a longitudinal and transverse groove layout that facilitates outstanding grip performance. These tyres exhibit a superior load carrying capacity, extended service life, and improved operational comfort.
