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.
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.
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.
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
