A philosophy of innovation We develop innovative products with the unwavering objective of lowering your tonne-per-hour cost. With each and every new Dramis truck delivery, our customers experience equipment that can haul maximum payloads, more quickly and at a lower cost. We strive for quality and excellence in all our decisions and actions, which are always geared towards increasing your productivity. Haul more. In terms of performance and versatility, Dramis trucks are unbeatable. They can move more material per hour and can maintain this performance rate over longer periods. MAXIMUM PAYLOAD With a payload capacity of 55, 60 or 65 metric tonnes, Dramis ultra heavy-duty dump bodies can move low- to very high-density materials. The dump body's configuration is catered to material type to maximize payload capacity and increase productivity. MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY With an empty dump body, Dramis trucks can safely reach off- and on-road speeds of up to 80 km/h. With a full load, they can maintain a top speed of 70 km/h over long distances. This means more dump cycles per hour for maximum efficiency. MAXIMUM AVAILABILITY Less down time. Shorter maintenance periods. Dramis trucks are true workhorses by design. Fuel efficiency, durable components and quick and easy access to parts when maintenance is required means they are available when you need them. Save more. Unloaded, Dramis trucks can legally and safely travel on the public road network. Savings add up every step of the way. In the end, they lower your cost per tonne like never before. LOWER ACQUISITION COSTS Based on a reconfigured Class 8 chassis, Dramis significantly lowers the acquisition cost for your 55- to 60-tonne trucks. Without ever compromising power and durability, we make full use of standard, readily available and low-cost OEM components to keep the price point right on track. HIGHER OPERATING PROFITS The weight and performance of the equipment used on Dramis trucks result in fuel savings of over 40%. Our trucks can travel from site to site and on public roads less than 20 metres wide without the need for a trailer or special permits. LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS Easy maintenance. No specialized technicians required. Dramis trucks get right back to work. The vast majority of parts are readily available for ultra-fast maintenance and repair turnaround times. And, your Dramis trucks can be serviced at a dealership or directly at our workshops.
