Choosing the right Off the Road (OTR) tyres involves considering your operation's specific needs, such as the average load and speed of vehicles. It's crucial to match the tyre's ton-miles-per-hour (TMPH) or ton-kilometers-per-hour (TKPH) rating with your site's requirements. For example, in your role at Masseys, understanding these factors can help you select tyres that optimize the performance and efficiency of vehicles used in mining or construction operations. #masseys #otr #tyre #distributor

As my 10-yr anniversary with Orica approaches, I find myself reflecting on the rich mining history right here in my back yard. I have spent the majority of my life in the four-state area, where Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma meet. Both coal and lead-zinc were mined here. Small mining camps were soon filled with smelters, large homes and businesses. Rail lines made Joplin, Missouri the epicenter center of the district, and it soon became the lead-zinc capital of the world. Coal production became central to the expansion of railroads because it burned hotter and was less bulky than wood. Strip mines were opened in southeast Kansas to meet this demand. For many years, this area was the main source of fuel for the entire Santa Fe railroad. During strip mining operations, overlying soil and rock (called overburden) was stripped away using power shovels to expose coal beds too thin to be mined underground. Big Brutus, the worlds largest electric shovel in existence today, operated here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 11 years. Eventually, continued operation was considered uneconomical and Big Brutus was shut down. The shovel was simply too large to relocate, and dismantling, transport and reassembly was considered too costly. They left Big Brutus where it sat and have since built a mining museum around it. Thousands of acres that were strip mined are now part of the Mined Land Wildlife Area. Habitats were restored and lakes stocked with fish. Native grassland, woody shrubs, oak-hickory forests and wetlands within the area provide a diverse habitat for a variety of animals. This land is even occupied by a small herd of bison. Today, I took my family to the Big Brutus Museum (I'm pictured here in the Operator's Cabin). Big Brutus is 160 feet high and weighs 11 million pounds. The shovel holds 90 cubic yards (150 tons), enough material to fill 3 rail cars. The Bucyrus Erie 1850-B electric shovel is an impressive piece of machinery, even today!

What color is mining equipment? What colors come to mind? The majority might answer that mining equipment is yellow. Today, let's explore why Caterpillar is yellow. Let's delve into history: at the beginning of the 20th century, John Hertz, the founder of the Yellow Cab Company, introduced yellow taxis to public use in New York. This innovation allowed users to find taxis faster in urban conditions, enhancing safety. By adding yellow to the traffic rules alongside red and green, it signaled a warning status. From this story, two purposes emerge: "Safety" and "Warning". So, why does Caterpillar need safety and warning? If business is a coin, profit is on one side and risk on the other. It's an unwritten law that the best manager of profit and risk meets human needs and thrives. Safety comes first. Technology and people must work together, which is why Hi-way yellow was chosen for the first time in 1931. Early models were in combat gray, and after initially adopting yellow, the color was upgraded again in 1971 to the signature CATERPILLAR YELLOW. As a result, the global brand Caterpillar became a pioneer in the industry, and yellow, the most symbolic color, is widely used in personal protective equipment and all technical gear. Addendum: Henry Ford originally used black on the Model-T because it dried faster and was more durable than other colors. This expedited production and enabled larger numbers to reach consumers. Barloworld Business System also offers users the most secure, efficient, and time-saving options. Safely home. Everyone. Every day, That's what we exist for.
