Scottish haulers put to work close to famous Canadian mountain range
The RA40 has the capacity for a 38 metric tonne (40 ton) haul

n Western Canada, Jura Creek Enterprises has purchased three Rokbak RA40 articulated haulers to move huge amounts of aggregates,

and names all the equipment it buys – and the new Rokbak recruits are no diff erent. Each one of Jura Creek Enterprises’ RA40 articulated haulers has been named after a character from the classic cartoon series The Flintstones, with their relevant prehistoric character sticker proudly displayed on the side of the truck. ‘Wilma’, ‘Betty’ and ‘Pebbles’ were
delivered to Jura Creek Enterprises in Q2 2023 as the fi rst RA40s in the region, and immediately put into production at the Crowsnest Pass quarry. The site produces high calcium material including limestone
aggregate, stackables and armourstone, with Jura Creek Enterprises selling about 1,360 tonnes (1,500 tons) from it per day. And with quality personnel and equipment forming the bedrock of Jura Creek Enterprises, the RA40s have fi tted in well, delivering both comfort and eff iciency to ensure the operators have a ‘yabba-dabba-do time’ while working on shift.
