Metso Celebrates 100th Truck Body Delivery

Metso announced it has reached a milestone with the delivery of its 100th truck body; the delivery went to Boliden’s Kevitsa mine in the Sodankylä region in Finland. Truck bodies belong to Metso’s portfolio of comprehensive payload management solutions. Metso say this portfolio enables them to assist its mining and aggregates customers in optimizing their loading and hauling capability, minimizing the environmental impact, and maximizing utilization of the loaders and haul truck bodies.

Metso’s range of payload management solutions was considerably expanded with the 2023 acquisition of Häggblom, a privately owned Finnish engineering and manufacturing company. The new comprehensive portfolio includes a range of truck bodies and buckets, each suitable for different operations and business objectives, ground engaging tools (GET), as well as long-lasting rubber and metallic truck bed liners, high-resistant wear parts, services and repairs.

“This expanded portfolio equips us with more mature capability to comprehensively address the holistic loading and hauling needs of customers and to support their sustainability and safety targets. This strategic shift allows us to take on the responsibility of managing customer assets and prioritizing service delivery over mere product transactions,” said Justin Ryan, Vice President, Material Transportation business line, Metso.
