  • Dramatically reduces frequency of brake overhauls from more than twice a year, to once every two years or longer

  • Reduces annual operating costs by up to $15,000 per truck

  • Customer payback on initial investment < 2 years

  • Tyre wear 30% less

Superior Operating Performance:

  • Brakes are virtually wear and maintenance-free, unlike conventional drum and disc brakes

Safety and Environmental Benefits:

  • Total elimination of brake noise and dust emissions

  • Provides consistent safer braking at all times

  • Avoids need for regular checking and adjustment

The City of Swan is evaluating 2 trucks fitted with SIBS

Its Mayor Mr Charlie Zannino stated in a press release last week :

Extract –

The trial has been so successful, the City is investigating the possibility of extending the use of the SIBS across other vehicles in the City fleet. After six months of the trial, the brake pads show very low rates of wear, which should result in greatly reduced brake service down time and costs for the vehicles.

The results indicated only minimal wear whereas a standard truck would be close to or past its wear limit at this point. …..”

Growth set to continue

  • › Ongoing industrialisation of emerging economies led by China and India

  • › Strong growth in new mine development

  • › Expansion into surface mines with safety and productivity focus

Increased Focus on Safety Regulations

  • › WHS Act (Jan 12’) and pending MHS Act (Jan 13’) - greater focus on responsibility of mine holders/operators to ensure worker safety

  • › “Uncontrolled vehicle movements” are a major problem for mine operators - results in fatalities and injuries on site

  • › SIBS[®] brakes significantly improve safety for mine operators with a three-in-one service, park and fail-safe emergency brake

Growing Emphasis on Productivity

  • › – Sector productivity has declined 50 per cent since 2001 (PWC Report 2012) many companies have renewed focus on improving mine productivity

  • › SIBS[®] brakes increase productivity by reducing brake overhaul and therefore vehicle downtime on site
