Rokbak Trucks Cement Trust in Canada
Calgary Rolling Mix Concrete can testify to the power and performance of Rokbak articulated haulers at a high-output pit in Alberta, thanks to the RA40’s exceptional design, reliable dealer support and a smart fleet management plan. To manage this, Rolling Mix Concrete employs a large fleet of heavy equipment, to which 3 Rokbak RA40 articulated haulers have been added. Headwater Equipment, Rokbak’s trusted Alberta dealer, helped supply the trio of hardworking articulated haulers to the pit in Carseland, within Wheatland County. Rolling Mix Concrete’s decision as to what to add to their fleet to support its operation came down to the key factors of reliability, minimal downtime, fuel efficiency and exceptional aftermarket support. The RA40 has a haul capacity of 38 t and a heaped capacity of 27.7 m3. Each hauler has proven its worth across the Carseland Pit, hauling large amounts of material to meet Rolling Mix Concrete’s demanding production numbers with a 66° dump angle and dual-slope tail chute that speeds up material ejection.
“The Rokbak dump truck is ideal for our operations at Carseland Pit,” said Morris Roberts, Rolling Mix Concrete’s service and purchasing manager. “Since the RA40s arrived, operator feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.” “They’ve praised the fuel efficiency, which is saving us money, but also the auto-lube system, visibility and cab comfort. We understand a smoother ride translates directly to higher productivity. Combined with the excellent aftersales support we’ve received from Headwater, we can’t recommend Rokbak highly enough, and it’ll certainly be top of the list when it comes to expanding our ADT fleet again,” added Mr. Roberts. Operators themselves have also taken notice of the difference. “The cab is comfortable and quiet, even on rough ground,” said Renato Angelozzi, an operator at Calgary Rolling Mix Concrete. “The visibility is excellent, and the controls are simple and responsive. You don’t feel worn out at the end of a long shift, which makes a big difference.” The RA40 is designed and built entirely at a factory in Motherwell, Scotland, and engineered for efficiency and operator comfort. Its fully automatic transmission delivers smooth, responsive gear shifts, reducing fuel consumption while maintaining performance in the toughest conditions. Inside the cab, operators benefit from a pressurised environment with a modern HVAC and airflow system, providing superior comfort and control throughout long shifts. With the addition of the Rokbak haulers, the fleet is running stronger than ever. And while the trucks take care of the hauling, Headwater Equipment is standing behind Calgary Rolling Mix Concrete every step of the way. Headwater Equipment takes care of all scheduled maintenance right at the site, with the Calgary-based team delivering sales, service and parts support just a short drive from the pit. That combination of machine performance and dealer backing is exactly why Rolling Mix Concrete invested in the three Rokbak RA40 ADTs. “The RA40 trucks have delivered and will continue to deliver, as will our support,” says Robin Dick, territory manager at Headwater Equipment. “It’s fantastic to see the RA40 trucks performing so strongly at Carseland Pit,” said Greg Gerbus, regional sales manager at Rokbak. “We design these haulers to combine strength, efficiency and comfort, and the feedback from Rolling Mix Concrete proves that. Our goal is always to provide customers with trucks that deliver long-term value and dependable performance, backed by the support they need from our partners to keep operations running smoothly.”

The RA40 body is fabricated from high-strength 1,000 MPa yield steel. Finished in Rokbak’s signature sand-coloured paint, the haulers have quickly made an impression on site.
