LOAD & HAUL
ensures optimal manoeuvrability, enabling the hauler to navigate through tight spaces and tackle steep inclines with ease, a feature proving indispensable on the challenging terrain in Alberta. The RA40 boasts an impressive hauling capacity of 38 metric tonnes (40 tons) and a heaped capacity of 23.0m3
/30.3yd3 , ideal for
transporting the substantial volumes of materials required for Jura Creek Enterprises’ operation. “We needed robust haulers, and
that’s exactly what we got,” says Travis Deglow, principal for Jura Creek Enterprises. “They’ve taken to the terrain and handle the surfaces well and are proving to be a real asset to our work at Crowsnest Pass.” Jura Creek Enterprises has over
40 years’ experience working in the trucking and mining industries of Western Canada, specialising in blasting, crushing and screening. The company takes great pride in its role within the community, striving to minimise environmental impact through modern technology and sustainability policies.
KINDER TO THE ENVIRONMENT Reducing environmental impact is similarly a key tenet of the Rokbak brand. The dump trucks have lean- burning engines and a confirmed low-fuel consumption, with the RA40 having an impressive transmission fluid change interval of 6,000 hours. In 2021, Jura Creek Enterprises
expanded its operations to Crowsnest Pass, a low mountain pass across
Around 4,000 miles west of the Rokbak Motherwell factory, RA40 articulated haulers are transporting blasted limestone for Canadian earthworks specialists Jura Creek Enterprises

Jura Creek Enterprises is now the prime supplier of limestone aggregates and armourstone in Southern Alberta and south-eastern British Columbia, the two regions spanned by the Canadian Rockies mountain range. In Alberta, the coldest months of the
year (January and February) can see temperatures drop to as low as -30 to -40°C for short periods of time. “Operator comfort for us is integral
and the RA40 has provided that,” says Travis. “The HVAC provides the right temperature control for comfort on cold or hot days, the cab is extremely quiet and the smooth ride has equated to high production.”
AFTERSALES SECURITY Headwater Equipment is the trusted
Rokbak articulated hauler dealer for the province of Alberta., and has been providing Jura Creek Enterprises with heavy construction equipment via direct sales, rentals, service and parts since 2020. Jura Creek Enterprises purchased
the RA40s from Headwater Equipment with standard warranty and a full maintenance package that covers the units for the first 3,000 hours of operations. Providing aftersales and services, Headwater Equipment will perform all the scheduled maintenance on these units as part of the purchase package, keeping the cost of ownership to a minimum. “Being in a relatively remote location,
it is reassuring to know there are qualified technicians ready to correct any problems that might develop,” says Deglow. “It is nice to work with Rokbak and Headwater Equipment who understand our equipment needs and provide the support needed to keep the company up and running all year round. Being the first to acquire RA40s in Alberta, we’re glad to be helping to pioneer the Rokbak brand in Canada.” “It’s brilliant to hear how well the
