Haul more. Save more. The lowest cost per tonne.

Dramis trucks are designed to handle the toughest and most demanding work on a job site. Lighter, but with all the durability and power of mining dump trucks, Dramis trucks move a lot more than air.

Quick. Efficient. Robust.

Dramis trucks are the perfect complement to conventional off road trucks. Huge payload capacity, along with low acquisition, operating and maintenance costs. Their semi-active hydraulic suspension provides outstanding speed and traction on uneven terrain. Fully loaded, they can handle slopes of up to 22%.

Safety features

The ease and comfort of travelling safely under the most challenging conditions on a job site, just like city driving.

  • The semi-active hydraulic suspension absorbs ground shocks, eliminating chassis rebound for greater driver comfort
  • Sensors provide terrain analysis to detect uneven ground during dumping manoeuvres
  • An auto-levelling system allows the suspension to offset lateral inclination and keep the truck horizontal with the ground
  • A safety system prevents the dump body from being raised or tilted when the truck is at more than 7 degrees of lateral inclination
  • Other safety features are available to optimize load distribution, visibility and ease of driving
