Delivery News: 25 Units of Kapuro DT-25 Mini Dump Trucks Arrive in Burkina Faso – With 150 Spare Tires, Suitable for Both Surface and Underground Mining
Time : 2026-05-16
Kapuro has successfully delivered 25 units of DT-25 mini dump trucks to a large mining company in Burkina Faso, together with 100 rear tires (700-16, anti-skid) and 50 front tires (600-14, double shock absorption). The fleet will be used for hauling ore, waste rock, and supplies in both open-pit stopes and underground drifts, providing a cost‑effective, multi‑scenario transport solution for medium to large mines in West Africa.
Mining Environment & Needs in Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso is a major gold producer in West Africa. Mines face challenges such as narrow working areas, muddy conditions in the rainy season, high demand for equipment versatility, and rapid tire wear. The customer – a large mining company operating both open‑pit and underground exploration – previously relied on tractors and loaders for material handling, which was inefficient. They therefore purchased 25 DT‑25 units at once to build a versatile haulage fleet.
Brief DT‑25 Key Parameters
Dimensions: 3.85m × 1.5m × 1.9m (only 1.5m wide – can pass through 1.8m drifts)
Rated load: 3 tonnes
Engine: Changzhou 25hp diesel
Tires: Front 600‑14 (double shock absorption), rear 700‑16 (anti‑skid) + 150 spare tires
Transmission: 8‑speed with high/low range (for heavy climbing and fast surface travel)
Dump equipment: 3‑stage hydraulic tipping
Steering/brakes: Central power steering, oil brake
Other: Two seats, right‑angle three‑door cargo body
Multi‑Scenario Applications
The DT‑25 works equally well in open‑pit mines (hauling ore to crushers, waste rock, support materials) and underground mines (ore transport in ramps and drifts, cleaning mud and碎石, delivering supplies). It also serves as an auxiliary utility vehicle.
Bulk Delivery & Customer Feedback
All 25 trucks have been deployed to various working faces. The 150 spare tires are stored in the mine’s parts warehouse, covering more than one year of replacement needs. Kapuro also provided French operation manuals, a complete wear parts kit, and remote video training.
The mine equipment manager said:
“The DT‑25 is only 1.5m wide – no problem going underground. The rear anti‑skid tires perform very well on muddy roads in the rainy season. 150 spare tires mean we never worry about downtime. The 8‑speed transmission and power steering are easy for local drivers to learn. Kapuro’s batch delivery was very professional.”
