1,500th Hercules Body Proudly Built In Australia

In May 2022, Schlam reached the milestone of manufacturing its 1,500th Hercules dump body in Australia. The Hercules in question was delivered to a client in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales.

Now in its 14th incarnation, the Schlam Hercules has become the dump body of choice for many of the most significant Tier 1 operators, OEM truck builders and mining contractors in Australia.

Schlam Chief Executive Officer, Matt Thomas, said it was a team effort to reach this milestone.

“Our manufacturing division – Schlam Payload Solutions – is filled with some of the most dedicated and hardworking individuals I’ve ever met. And, when they work together, anything is possible.

“The pandemic and supply chain concerns have pressured our team; however, they have managed these challenges superbly while maintaining our commitment to quality and customer service,” said Matt.

The first Hercules was manufactured in Australia in 2003, and it took 17 years to reach the 1,000th milestone.

It took the company just 22 months to reach the 1,500th mark.
