HEAVY ENGINEERING AND WEAR PARTS
Philippi-Hagenbuch custom engineers every water tank, the company will design the tank to fit the water distribution system and plumbing guidelines of any make of truck. This, the company says, ensures a seamless fit and that Philippi- Hagenbuch’ s water tank components will work harmoniously with autonomous truck distribution systems.
• Rear Eject Bodies: Featuring safety, stability and increased productivity as hallmarks of their design, Philippi- Hagenbuch’ s patented Rear Eject Bodies are the ideal solution for challenging hauling applications in general construction, road construction, sand and gravel, mine reclamation and underground hauling, it says. They feature a blade to push materials out of the bed, eliminating the need to raise the body of the truck, allowing users to safely dump materials while in motion and in areas with overhead barriers. When an autonomous haul truck performs the dump function, rather than raising the body to dump material, the Rear Eject’ s blade will eject material out of the body, then retract when the autonomous truck would typically return the body to position.
With more operations exploring the benefits of autonomous hauling, Philippi- Hagenbuch says it ensures all its fully custom solutions will keep operations efficient, safe and future-ready.
MTG PLUS Wear runners
As part of MTG’ s commitment to delivering complete and high-performance GET solutions, it has announced the expansion of its MTG PLUS range with the addition of wear runners, a complementary protection

system designed to extend bucket life in the most demanding applications.
The new wear runners are engineered for use in excavators, loaders and rope shovels, providing added protection in environments with high abrasion, MTG explains.“ Whether it is on the bucket’ s bottom, interior, or lateral, these runners help maximise equipment uptime and reduce maintenance costs.”
Designed as a direct replacement for Hensley-style systems makes them an ideal solution for both retrofitting and new bucket builds, according to the company. The kit consists of a weld-on base, a bolt-on top shroud and a dual-bolt locking system. This modular setup contributes to its high resistance and durability while also allowing safe, quick and easy change-outs of the top shroud.
To cover a variety of application needs, three different sizes will be available, ensuring the right fit and protection for different machine types and working conditions.
