The ZDL717 is a 17-ton capacity underground lhd loader built for trackless ore and waste rock handling. Paired with haul trucks, this underground mining loader supports high-capacity excavation. It features a Cummins engine, DANA transmission, and a 7 m³ bucket for efficient short-distance transport.

Product Details

We developed the ZDL717 for large-scale lhd underground mining projects. It operates in tunnels measuring at least 4 m × 4 m. Compared to smaller underground lhd machines, this underground wheel loader delivers stronger traction and braking stability for continuous production cycles.

Key Features

  • 17 t Capacity:Handles 17-ton heavy loads of ore and waste rock.
  • 7 m³ Bucket:Maximizes material transfer efficiency during truck loading cycles.
  • LHD Design:Functions as a standard lhd machine in mining for load, haul, and dump operations.
  • Cummins QSZ13-C380 Engine:Water-cooled, low-speed, high-torque engine meets Tier 3 emission standards.
  • DANA Transmission:Includes DANA gearbox, torque converter, and cut-resistant pneumatic tires.
  • Articulated Frame:Central hinge allows the rear axle to swing, improving maneuverability in tight spaces.
  • Hydraulic Steering:Dual-sided steering cylinders provide precise control in large tunnels.

Main Configuration

  • Engine:Cummins QSZ13-C380-30 water-cooled engine, 286 kW / 1900 rpm.
  • Transmission:DANA gearbox, torque converter, and hydraulic-release drive axle.
  • Braking:Wet multi-disc spring brake with MICO filling and brake valves.
  • Frame:Central articulated frame with a swinging rear axle.
  • Steering:Hydraulic power steering with dual cylinders.
  • Tires:Mining-specific cut-resistant pneumatic tires.

Applications

Use this underground lhd for metal mines, large-section roadways, and trackless mining systems. It pairs directly with underground haul trucks to load and move materials over short distances safely.

Customization and Delivery Support

ZONGDA provides custom configuration based on your tunnel size, ore type, and slope. Buyers can adjust bucket capacity, emission standards, and spare parts packages. Send us your project details to receive an exact export packing and shipping quote.

Safety and Maintenance Notes

Operators must inspect brakes, steering, tires, and hydraulics before every shift. Never perform maintenance while the engine is running. Fully release hydraulic pressure before repairs and keep welding equipment away from flammable materials.

FAQ

Q1: What are the load and bucket capacities?

It features a 17-ton payload and a 7 m³ bucket for high-capacity excavation.

Q2: What tunnel size fits this Underground Mining Loader?

Your tunnels must be at least 4 meters high and 4 meters wide with a firm roof and proper ventilation.

Q3: What is lhd underground mining?

LHD stands for load-haul-dump. These underground lhd machines scoop ore or rock, transport it down the roadway, and empty it directly into trucks or ore passes.

Q4: Does this underground wheel loader work with haul trucks?

Yes, it pairs directly with underground dump trucks to speed up your daily loading and hauling workflow.

Q5: Can we use this underground lhd in coal mines?

No, it is strictly prohibited in environments containing explosive gas or coal dust.

Q6: How do I request a quote?

Send us your tunnel dimensions, road slope, ore type, and destination country so our factory team can provide an exact configuration
