Features
-
High-power electric drive line
Toro® LH518iB battery loader is unrestrained by mine ventilation limitations and can use the most powerful electric motors available. The loader delivers 540 kW of electric drivetrain power for improved acceleration, fast ramp speeds and efficient bucket filling with 6000 Nm total torque output.
-
Patented AutoSwap and AutoConnect systems
The loader doesn’t require any large-scale appliances such as overhead cranes for swapping the battery at a mine site. This is thanks to the AutoSwap, Sandvik patented self-swapping system for the battery. Due to our AutoConnect functionality, the operator can stay in the cabin during the swapping process.
-
Zero underground exhaust emissions
The proven lithium-iron phosphate battery chemistry ensures zero underground exhaust emissions and minimal heat. It supports sustainability goals by reducing CO2 emissions and lowering ventilation needs.
