Reaching the 300th milestone for Hercules truck beds delivered to Fortescue is an achievement worth celebrating. It is a representation of our long-standing partnership with a valued client, and highlights the growing global impact of Schlam’s Hercules product line.
From the earliest designs to today’s innovations, Schlam’s Hercules truck beds have been driven by one unwavering principle: engineering excellence that delivers tangible results. The Hercules has consistently outperformed traditional OEM truck beds.
These aren’t incremental gains, they represent industry-shaping improvements driven by a smarter, lighter, and more durable design.
Each of Fortescue’s Hercules beds have been built in our Forrestfield facility. When mining companies choose Schlam, they’re investing in more than a truck bed:
- Local employment
- Australian capability
- Sustainable, future-focused industry growth
Our Forrestfield site serves as our head office and our largest manufacturing facility. It’s where ideas, expertise, and precision engineering come together helping the world’s best hard rock miners boost their operational performance in a safer and more sustainable way.
Once deployed on site, the Hercules takes on some of the harshest mining environments in the world. From the Pilbara’s heat to the sub-zero conditions of Canada and Kazakhstan, Hercules truck beds have proven their durability and efficiency time and time again.
The success of Hercules in Australia has accelerated Schlam’s global expansion. Today, our truck beds support mining operations across continents, helping customers move more material, reduce emissions, and extend asset life.
While this milestone belongs to Schlam and the talented people who build Hercules every day, it is also fuelled by strong customer partnerships, including our long-standing collaboration with Fortescue. Their trust, performance focus, and willingness to innovate alongside us have helped make Hercules one of the most successful mining products.
Here’s to the next chapter of innovation, performance, and partnership.
