Manufacturing and assembly No longer in production, the T 282 C was manufactured and assembled at the Liebherr Mining Equipment Co. production facility in Newport News. The chassis (frame, axle box, engine, radiator, fan, and alternator) are assembled for shipment alongside the superstructure (operators' cabin, grid box, and drive system). All other components are implemented on-site with the customer. Specifications Transportation of the T 282 series Due to its exceptional size and weight, the T 282 series cannot be driven on public roads. The T 282 series was shipped in component form to the customer site before undergoing final assembly. Cost of the T 282 series No longer in production, the price of each T 282 model varied based upon customer specification and quantity ordered. Each T 282 truck cost US$4–5 million and Liebherr previously sold dozens of the T 282 series each year, primarily to coal, copper, iron ore and gold mine operators in the U.S., Chile, Indonesia, South Africa and Australia. Service life of the T 282 series Liebherr offers a flexible component exchange program for replacement of all major components, and maintains affiliates around the world for speedy parts deliveries. The design life of the truck is dependent upon the chassis and frame, which typically last for an average of 72,000 hours. Competition The T 282 B competed directly with other payload capacity haul trucks.
