Two new Volvo A45G dump trucks added to Stockton Mine civil works fleet

August 15, 2025

We recently purchased two new Volvo A45G articulated dump trucks from TDX Ltd for our Stockton Mine operations.

To meet the Stockton Mine specification additional equipment was fitted by TDX including fast fill system, exhaust wrap, RT, handrails, headboard, chocks/bracket, and decals.

The trucks were transported from Christchurch to Stockton Mine by B.R. Satherley Transport Ltd. 

The trucks were handed over to DHML site management by representatives of TDX Ltd at Stockton Mine. Below are, from left to right:
Hayden Hearne – DHML Stockton Project Manager, Trevor Newport – TDX Territory Manager for Nelson/Marlborough/West Coast, Grant Low – TDX Tech Services, Karl Lawrie – DHML Stockton Workshop Supervisor.

The trucks carry a 45 tonne payload and with 6 wheel drive are used for civil works including break-in work in boggy and/or tight working areas, carting slops, and hauling on steep and narrow development tracks.
