A new large tonnage wide body dump truck developed by Baosteel Zhanjiang Iron and Steel Co underwent a successful trial operation on June 19.

The dump truck, which has a maximum loading tonnage of 50 metric tons, is the first of its kind in the county. It is characterized by its convenient operation, reliable structure, and high degree of automation, greatly improving the transportation capacity and efficiency.

According to a person in charge of Baosteel Zhanjiang, the transportation efficiency of the dump truck is increased by about 312.5 percent.

That the dump truck has been put into use will not only improve the company's innovation ability, but also promote the export of more mature technologies to create better economic and social benefits, said the person in charge.
