Recently, Brian Leatherman, salesman, of Anderson Equipment Co., Charleston, WV, rented his first MT36 to Black Diamond Construction. The truck was placed at Pine Ridge Coal Company in Van, WV.

The owner of the coal company had originally seen the MT36 on display at ConExpo. He was so impressed with what he saw, that he wanted to put it to the test at one of his own sites.

The job he had in mind entailed building a new haul road with three

D350Ds about 1.5 mi. (2.4 km) up the side of a mountain. Black Diamond’s PC400 was cutting a narrow bench into the mountainside for a haul road to a new mine face.

The short turning radius of the MT36

was a distinct advantage in turning around because the bench was not much wider than the length of the truck. The haul road was a moderate uphill climb loaded, which the MT36 handled gracefully.

The operator loved the smooth ride of the MT36. The site superintendent observed the Moxy MT36 very closely and was pleased with its overall performance.
