Heavy plant for salt, aggregate and stone production.
Heat, dust and long shifts wear machines faster than a workshop roster. A.C. Ries specifies Komatsu plant and parts support around production, not against it.



Komatsu loaders, excavators and related plant do the digging and loading. Ammann supports quarry-road compaction. Cummins covers powertrain support on demanding duty cycles.
How we support mines and quarries
Abrasive duty eats edges, teeth and undercarriages. We specify machines and a wear-parts plan for the material you actually move.
- Loading and excavationLoaders and excavators specified for salt, aggregate and stone, not for a generic construction duty cycle.
- Haul routesPlant and compaction for pit and quarry roads that stay passable under abrasive traffic and heat.
- Production uptimePreventive maintenance planned around shifts, so service happens between production, not in the middle of it.
- Wear-parts disciplineGround-engaging parts stocked because salt, dust and stone will take the edge off a machine that is still otherwise healthy.
Support for abrasive duty
Salt flats and stone benches punish machines that were specified for town work. Remote sites need parts on the ground and technicians who can work in the heat.
- Preventive programmes timed to production, not to our workshop calendar
- Genuine wear parts for abrasive ground and long shifts
- Field service on salt flats and quarry benches
- Operator and safety familiarisation for demanding sites
Send material, duty cycle, haul distance, shift pattern and which machine stopping would halt production. We will specify plant and a parts plan.

Where to go next.
Specify a production fleet
Include material, duty cycle, haul routes, shift pattern and the uptime you need. We specify plant and a parts plan for that wear rate.
