LONGCLIFFE INVESTS IN NEW DUMPER FOR BRASSINGTON QUARRY OPERATION

[9th September 2024]

Dumper trucks may seem unglamorous, but without them we would be missing critical mineral products which go into everyday essentials such as animal feeds, glass and adhesives. Recognising this important role, local company Longcliffe (who manufacture over 100 of these essential products) have invested over £500,000 in a new Komatsu dumper.

The five metres tall, 110-tonne (loaded) machine will replace an older dumper which has done good service at the company’s Brassington Moor Quarry for over 10 years. Quarry Manager Jon Murgatroyd said: “The dumpers can be the unsung heroes of our operation, but they play a vital role in the primary part of our process. Once the rock has been blasted, an excavator loads up the dumpers for onward transportation to our primary crusher. From here we crush the rock down and then mill it to produce the many grades of material our customers need for a range of everyday products.
