Mining trucks operate in some of the toughest environments, carrying heavy loads and enduring extreme conditions. The reliability of these massive machines depends heavily on several key systems, with the brake, steering, and dump circuits being among the most critical. This paper delves into the specific hoses that keep these circuits functioning at their best.
Brake Circuit

Given the immense weight these trucks carry, the brake system must be robust, reliable, and able to operate under extreme conditions.
