Purpose-engineered for Kazakhstan's deep copper, chrome, and coal mines. Each model delivers maximum payload efficiency under extreme temperature and geological conditions.
Kazakhstan ranks among the world's top ten mineral-rich nations, possessing vast reserves of copper, zinc, lead, gold, uranium, coal, iron ore, and chromite. The country's mining sector contributes approximately 15–18% of GDP and employs hundreds of thousands of workers across the Karaganda, Pavlodar, East Kazakhstan, and Kostanay regions. As global demand for critical minerals accelerates — driven by the energy transition and EV manufacturing — Kazakhstan's underground mining operations are expanding rapidly in both scale and depth.
The Kazakhstani government's "Kazakhstan-2050" Strategy and the Nurly Zhol infrastructure programme have channelled billions of dollars into industrial modernisation, including the mining and metallurgy sectors. State mining giants such as Kazakhmys, Eurasian Resources Group (ERG), and KAZ Minerals are actively upgrading their underground fleets to increase ore extraction volumes while meeting tightening safety and environmental standards.
This environment creates exceptional demand for high-performance, cost-efficient hauling dump trucks capable of operating reliably in the extreme continental climate of the Kazakh steppe — where temperatures range from −40°C in winter to +40°C in summer — and in the challenging geology of deep underground mines. DERUI's hauling dump trucks are engineered precisely for these conditions.
From the copper belts of Central Kazakhstan to the coal basins of Karaganda, DERUI underground hauling dump trucks are deployed across the country's most demanding extraction environments.
Kazakhstan holds the world's 12th largest copper reserves. DRUK-series trucks haul copper ore from depths exceeding 800 m in narrow-vein and room-and-pillar stope configurations, where tight turning radii and high torque are critical.
The Donskoy GOK chromite complex is one of the world's largest. DERUI's 20-ton and 30-ton dump trucks provide reliable ore transport in the steep ramps and multi-level drifts of this high-output operation.
Kazakhstan is the world's leading uranium producer. Underground support vehicles and hauling trucks from DERUI assist development headings and infrastructure construction in ISL and conventional uranium mines.
Karaganda's underground coal mines rely on efficient short-cycle haulage to maintain continuous mining output. DRUK-12 and DRUK-15 models are ideally sized for the seam widths and gradient profiles typical of this basin.
Beyond mineral extraction, Kazakhstan's rapid infrastructure expansion — including road tunnels, metro extensions in Almaty and Astana, and hydropower projects — demands reliable underground dump trucks for muck removal and material transport.
DERUI trucks are cold-weather engineered: heavy-duty hydraulic systems rated to −40°C startup, reinforced cab insulation, and arctic-grade lubricants ensure uninterrupted operation during Kazakhstan's brutal steppe winters.
Following geopolitical shifts in 2022, Kazakhstan's mining companies accelerated the replacement of ageing Soviet-era equipment with modern Chinese and domestic alternatives. DERUI's competitive pricing, proven reliability, and full after-sales support make it a preferred choice for fleet renewal programmes at major Kazakhstani mines.
As shallow ore bodies are depleted, Kazakhstan's mines are pushing deeper — with many operations now exceeding 1,000 m depth. This drives demand for higher-payload trucks (20–30 tons) with powerful diesel engines, robust braking systems, and enhanced safety features to handle steep decline haulage.
Kazakhstan's major mining groups are piloting remote monitoring, GPS fleet tracking, and semi-automated haulage systems. DERUI's equipment is designed with telematics-ready architecture, enabling integration with mine management systems for real-time performance data, predictive maintenance, and productivity optimisation.
Kazakhstan has adopted stricter underground air quality regulations, limiting diesel particulate emissions in enclosed mine environments. DERUI's engines meet Tier 3/Stage IIIA emission standards, and the company is actively developing battery-electric and hybrid variants to future-proof its Kazakhstan customer base.
Kazakhstani mining operators increasingly require suppliers to establish in-country parts depots and service teams. DERUI's established branch network — including its Russia regional office serving CIS markets — positions the company to rapidly expand localised support infrastructure for Kazakhstan customers.
DERUI focuses on product leadership, service excellence, cost competitiveness, and operational safety — enabling us to deliver real value to Kazakhstan's toughest mining challenges.
A dedicated technical team of 50+ engineers continuously refines DERUI's product line, incorporating feedback from Kazakhstan field operations to improve performance in extreme cold, high-altitude, and deep-mine conditions.
All DRUK-series trucks feature ROPS/FOPS certified cabs, automatic fire suppression systems, emergency descent braking, and proximity detection readiness — meeting international mine safety standards adopted by Kazakhstan regulators.
DERUI's in-house hydraulic pump and motor testing platform supports maintenance of Sauer, Eaton, and Rexroth systems — ensuring Kazakhstan operators have access to expert hydraulic servicing without long international lead times.
With branch offices in Zambia and Russia and customers across Africa, Central Asia, and the CIS, DERUI has the export logistics, documentation, and cross-border service experience to support Kazakhstan customers seamlessly.
Compared to European and North American alternatives, DERUI equipment offers 30–50% lower acquisition cost with comparable reliability — a critical advantage for Kazakhstan mining companies managing tight capital budgets in a volatile commodity market.
A comprehensive overseas market service team — including dedicated sales and after-sales personnel — ensures Kazakhstan operators receive fast spare parts dispatch, remote technical guidance, and on-site support when required.
Shandong Derui Machinery Co., Ltd. was founded in 2012 and is located in Weifang, Shandong Province, known as the "Kite Capital." Derui is a high-tech enterprise specialising in trackless mining equipment, integrating R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service. Its main products include underground loaders, mining trucks, scaling jumbos, and multi-purpose utility vehicles.
The company is equipped with a comprehensive hydraulic pump and motor testing platform, capable of undertaking maintenance and debugging for pumps and motors from brands such as Sauer, Eaton, and Rexroth. Since its establishment, we have focused on the production and R&D of trackless equipment for underground mining.
Currently, the company has over 200 employees, including a technical R&D team of more than 50 professionals. We have a comprehensive overseas market service team comprising sales personnel and after-sales support staff. Additionally, we have established branch offices in regions such as Zambia and Russia to ensure the quality and timeliness of our overseas services.
We are committed to developing into an internationally renowned manufacturer of mining machinery and equipment, providing high-quality products and excellent services to a growing number of customers — including an expanding base of Kazakhstan mining operators who trust DERUI for their underground haulage needs.
The DRUK series covers 12T, 15T, 20T, and 30T payload capacities — matching the full spectrum of Kazakhstan underground mine haulage requirements from narrow-vein gold to high-volume copper extraction.
Hydraulic systems, engine block heaters, and arctic lubricants ensure reliable cold starts and full performance at temperatures as low as −40°C — essential for Kazakhstan's continental winters.
Tier 3-compliant diesel engines deliver maximum torque at low RPM — critical for loaded ramp climbing in Kazakhstan's deep mines where grades can exceed 15%. Automatic transmission options reduce driver fatigue on long haulage cycles.
DERUI's articulated steering design allows DRUK trucks to navigate the tight turning radii common in Kazakhstani underground mine drifts and crosscuts, maximising utilisation in confined working environments.
Key components — hydraulic pumps, motors, axles, and engine modules — are designed for rapid field replacement. This minimises downtime at remote Kazakhstani mine sites where workshop facilities may be limited.
Optional GPS tracking, engine health monitoring, and remote diagnostics interfaces align with Kazakhstan mining companies' increasing adoption of digital mine management platforms and predictive maintenance programmes.
