🏔️ Mining Operation User Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Senior Site Engineer, Iron Ridge Mine
"We’ve been running the Zoomlion ZT118 Advanced Model since February 2025, and it’s transformed our haul cycle efficiency. The 6x6 drive system handles muddy slopes and rocky terrain like nothing we’ve used before. With 75-ton payloads and that 1800Nm torque, it climbs inclines without hesitation. The air-suspension seat has reduced driver fatigue significantly—our operators now complete 12-hour shifts with fewer breaks."

🏗️ Large-Scale Construction User Reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Vasquez - Project Manager, Horizon Infrastructure
"We leased three ZT118 Base Models for a highway cut-and-fill project starting in October 2024. After eight months of continuous use, they’ve outperformed two competing brands in both reliability and uptime. The automatic transmission makes a huge difference on stop-start haul roads, and the Euro 3 compliance meant no issues with local environmental inspectors. Maintenance is straightforward thanks to the easy-access design—oil changes and brake checks take half the time of older models."

🏞️ Quarry & Aggregate Operations

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Daniel Park - Fleet Supervisor, Granite Peak Quarry
"We upgraded to the ZT118 Pro Model in April 2025 for our deepest pit operations. The 550HP engine and dual-axis adaptive suspension are game-changers—vibration is down, driver retention is up, and we’re moving 80-ton loads faster than ever. The only downside? Fuel burn is higher than our old 400HP trucks, but the productivity gains more than offset the cost. Customizing the bed length for oversized boulders was seamless thanks to Zoomlion’s modular frame."

🌾 Specialized Agricultural Infrastructure

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Reed - Land Development Contractor
"I know dump trucks aren’t typical farm equipment, but when I started building terraced retaining walls across 500 acres of hilly farmland, I needed serious off-road hauling. The ZT118 Base Model, purchased in January 2025, has handled everything—from rocky soil to wet clay—without a single breakdown. The high ground clearance and off-road tires make it stable on slopes where smaller dumpers tip. For multi-scenario adaptation, this truck is unmatched. Even my crew with minimal heavy equipment experience picked it up quickly thanks to the intuitive controls."

⚙️ Heavy-Duty Maintenance Technician Feedback

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Linda Zhao - Lead Mechanic, Northern Mining Services
"I’ve maintained everything from rigid haulers to articulated dump trucks, and the ZT118 (Advanced Model) is one of the most service-friendly machines I’ve worked on. The easy-access design lets us inspect the drivetrain and suspension without disassembly. That said, the high-torque components do require more frequent lubrication—stick to Zoomlion’s recommended schedule and use their approved oils, or you’ll risk premature wear. After six months in a dusty open-pit mine, the steel frame shows minimal stress, and the roll cage gives operators real peace of mind."

🏆 Industry Expert Recommendations

Mining Equipment Specialist Recommendation

David Finch - Mining Machinery Consultant, 18 Years Experience
"The Zoomlion ZT118 stands out in the 75-ton class due to its balanced power-to-comfort ratio. Its 500HP engine and 2000Nm torque meet the demands of modern mining, while the adaptive suspension in the Pro model sets a new benchmark for operator endurance. I recommend the Advanced or Pro models for any mine looking to reduce cycle times and improve fleet utilization."

Construction Fleet Optimization Expert

Nadia Petrova - Heavy Equipment Efficiency Analyst
"In comparative fleet studies, the ZT118’s automatic transmission and modular customization reduce total cost of ownership by up to 12% over five years, primarily through lower operator turnover and higher uptime. For contractors managing mixed-use sites, its multi-scenario adaptation makes it a versatile investment."
