2026-08-31 19:16:25 · 49 views
Mining tunnel loaders are mainly used in narrow-space underground mining operations, for the collection, transport, and loading of crushed stone and soil materials in various mines such as phosphate mines, iron mines, copper mines, gold mines, silver mines, lead-zinc mines, and coal mine tunnels, as well as in hydropower and tunnel engineering projects. It combines a manipulator with a conveyor, integrating the functions of mucking and loading transport into one. It adopts an electric full-hydraulic control system, featuring environmental protection, low energy consumption, and high efficiency. It is an indispensable advanced mining equipment for mining enterprises and can replace manual labor and other mechanical operations.
The equipment adopts a reinforced front and rear frame, having passed 200,000 fatigue strengthening tests, with strong load-bearing capacity, reasonable overall load distribution, and good stability. It adopts a dedicated heavy-duty torque converter and drive axle, improving the reliability of the entire machine. The narrow axle wheelbase and relatively short half-shafts increase torque, enhance digging force, improve work efficiency, and greatly reduce the axle damage rate. The ultra-narrow wheelbase and ultra-low height design enable it to pass through particularly narrow manual tunnels.
Main features include:
Dual tilt cylinder design, flexible movement, and large breakout force;
Air-over-oil power-assisted braking system, with sensitive braking effect;
Dedicated integral fixed-shaft transmission torque converter, reliable performance, and convenient maintenance;
Available in both narrow-body and wide-body models to adapt to different working environments;
Water tank counterweight-type smoke and dust filter, effectively purifying exhaust emissions;
High-power engine, green, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly.
Small loaders for mines are generally used in environments with narrow mining spaces and poor ventilation conditions, such as mines, tunnels, and basements. Their exhaust treatment system adopts water filtration technology. The exhaust gas discharged by the engine is filtered and treated, solving the health problems of workers in spaces with poor air circulation. The whole vehicle height is 1.7 meters, enabling it to pass through narrow manual tunnels and adapt to narrow working spaces. The cover parts adopt a reinforced design to protect the vehicle from damage caused by falling objects underground.
Main advantages include:
A: Equipped with a turbocharged engine, large power, sufficient power, and low failure rate;
B: Equipped with an exhaust purification device and a water tank-type exhaust processor to achieve a smoke-free working environment;
C: Adopts a double rocker arm design, with large breakout force, strong shovel lifting capacity, and good visibility;
D: The canopy adopts high-strength steel, with high safety performance;
E: Equipped with dedicated underground tires and installed with protective chains;
F: Unloading height 1800mm;
G: Equipped with a dedicated bucket for harsh working environments.
Safety operating procedures:
Operators must hold certificates and be familiar with equipment performance and operating procedures;
Fatigue or operation after drinking is prohibited;
Before starting, the status of each system must be comprehensively checked;
Ensure that lighting, signals, brakes, and other systems are in good condition;
Open flames are prohibited in hazardous areas;
Before the engine is shut down, it must idle for 2-3 minutes;
Before operation, the safety condition of the tunnel must be confirmed;
Staying or passing under a raised bucket is prohibited;
When going uphill or downhill, a safe distance must be ensured.
