BHP Group Limited has reported a productivity improvement in its Western Australian Iron Ore (WAIO) operations following the implementation of newly designed hoist cylinders on its haul truck fleet. The engineering solution, developed in collaboration with JC Cylinders in China, allows truck trays to tip higher, resulting in an additional 127,000 tonnes of iron ore being tipped per month, or approximately 1.52 million tonnes annually. This innovation has led to a 54 per cent reduction in the number of times product is carried back in the trucks, unlocking an estimated tens of millions of dollars in additional revenue each year. The initiative was trialled and scaled at BHP's South Flank Operations and is part of the company's broader focus on cost reduction, productivity, and supply chain innovation.
