Underground Mining equipment



The machines fitted with Trelleborg cab mounts are the R1300G, R1600G, R1700G and the R2900G LHDs, designed and built by Caterpillar Underground Mining in Burnie, Tasmania, Australia. Powered by Caterpillar engines from 136 kW to 321 kW gross power, they weigh from 27 tonnes to 67 tonnes. These vehicles are capable of carrying payloads from 6,800 kg to 20,000 kg up slopes of 1 in 5 or 20%.All machines in the range offer a choice between an open operator station and an enclosed cab. The open option incorporates a protective structure in accordance with ROPS (roll-over) and FOPS (falling object) regulations and is resiliently mounted via Treleborg's TrellExtreme ® Ultra Duty bushes. UD bushes are also used to isolate the optional enclosed cab, which offers a sound-suppressed working environment, as well as fresh, pressurized temperature-controlled air circulation, ergonomic design and a high level of comfort.
