Haul Track was first introduced in 2015 as part of the Terex Trucks brand name.

A subsidiary of Sweden-based Volvo Group, Terex Trucks was rebranded as Rokbak in 2021.

The Haul Track system currently comes as standard on the brand’s RA30 and RA40 articulated dump trucks (ADT).

Garry Moore, a customer support manager for the UK-based manufacturer of ADTs, said more customers were finding machine-monitoring technology like Haul Track to be a necessity.

“More and more customers have been engaging with our Haul Track telematics system over the last few years,” Moore said.

“Some even have full ‘command centres’ filled with screens as they monitor data from their fleets in real-time.”

With tools like Haul Track, project managers can set maintenance parameters for their fleet and receive automated reports and alerts. By staying ahead of key maintenance points and tracking potential machine errors or faults, consistent telematics users can reduce their total cost of ownership over a unit’s lifespan, Rokbak said.

“[Owners] are able to stay on top of regular maintenance requirements and address minor issues before they can turn into serious and expensive problems. This proactive maintenance approach leads to greater equipment uptime and a longer lifespan,” the company added.
