UK-40 Underground Mining Truck

Heavy-duty haulage rated for a 40 tonne SAE heaped 2:1 payload on a 2 m3 dump box. Total loaded weight is 78.5 t against a 38.5 t operating weight, with 400 kN maximum breakout force at the box and a 15 s raise / 10 s lower cycle. Sized to clear the LHD tip at the rate set by a WJ-6 class loader on the connecting drive.

Sized for a 5.5 m by 5.5 m underground lane - 10.46 m overall length, 3.15 m transport width, 2.85 m transport height and 6.07 m dump-position height, with a R5.97 m inner / R9.65 m outer turning circle at the articulation stop.

Average fuel use at 50 percent load is 40.5 L/h on a 700 L tank.

DANA driveline for mine-duty haulage - DANA CL9672 single-stage three-component torque converter with lock-up, DANA 8821H electronically controlled automatic transmission with shift buffer and integrated gearshift and steering lever, DANA 53R-300 front and rear axles with standard differential and spring-applied hydraulically released wet multi-disc brakes on all four wheels. Eight forward gears, 5.8 to 36.2 km/h.

Rotary central articulation on a Q460 alloy-steel frame - waterproof rotary bearing seal at the articulation point lets the front and rear frames swing freely on uneven floor, keeping all four 29.5R25 tyres loaded on harsh surfaces and reducing centre-of-gravity shift on the decline. ±42 degree steering with two double-acting hydraulic steering cylinders.

ROPS and FOPS certified cab to ISO 3471 and ISO 3449, with a door interlock that prevents box-tip and steering movement while the cab door is open. Fully enclosed, air-conditioned, sound and heat insulated, with a mechanically suspended operator seat, tilt and telescopic steering, three-point access, a 7-inch colour display driving all monitoring and alarms, and a reversing camera as standard.

Intelligent monitoring and centralised safety fit - PLC-based control system with built-in diagnostics watches engine, transmission, hydraulics and brakes in real time, with on-screen fault prompts, low-oil and oil-pressure alarms, rotating beacon and yellow clearance lamp. Centralised 12 kg fire extinguishing system, exhaust pipe heat-insulation cotton, turbocharger and radiator fan shields, frame articulation lock, mechanical dump-box lock, safety hammer and wheel chocks come as standard.
