POWERPLUS Delivers Tailored Equipment for Peak Productivity
POWERPLUS had carefully curated the heavy machinery lineup to meet the specific needs of PT Bukit Asam’s mining projects, with the fleet consisting of:
• 2 units of D368-II Bulldozers and 2 units of D155B-III Bulldozers for rapid and efficient land clearing
• 2 units of PP880E-XI Excavators, with powerful digging force and rugged durability
• 14 units of PD3960Z-II Heavy Duty Dump Trucks and 10 units of PD680Z-II Dump Trucks, to swiftly handle and move large volume of materials
The selections of machines were carefully considered to work seamlessly together to streamline each stage of the mining process, improving operational uptime, reducing fuel consumption and enhancing cost-efficiency.

Our powerful bulldozers, which are equipped with advanced technology and robust construction, are instrumental in efficiently clearing the land for mining activities while our high-performance excavators, which are renowned for their exceptional digging force and durability, extracted coal ore with precision and speed. Finally, our fleet of dump trucks swiftly transport the extracted coal ore to processing facilities. This seamless integration of heavy machinery significantly enhanced the overall efficiency and productivity of Bukit Asam’s mining operations.
