Low Profile LHD and Truck Join the Atlas Copco Lineup


Atlas Copco has launched two new underground vehicles, the Minetruck MT436LP and the Scooptram ST1030LP. They are the latest additions to the company’s low profile mining fleet.

At just 1.84 m high, the Scooptram ST1030LP is 51 cm lower than the standard Scooptram ST1030 and has a tramming capacity of 10 mt. The ST1030LP features double display screens in the cab, relaying feed from three cameras to provide optimum visibility and safety. In addition, the ST1030LP incorporates all of the design improvements found in the recently upgraded ST1030, as well as a new, compact, high-efficiency hydraulic cooler. An ergonomic T-back operator’s seat and sound suppression panels provide a comfortable working environment.

The Scooptram ST1030LP matches well with the new low profile Minetruck MT436LP, which stands 2.3 h high. Key features of the MT436LP include a forward- mounted camera, a reconfigured interior that provides an optimum ergonomic environment, and a lower, wider box. Tramming capacity is 32.6 mt.

The new vehicles join a product line which also includes the Boltec SL roof bolting rig, optimized to perform bolting operations in 1.8-m drifts and which can be operated by remote control for increased operator safety. Fully mechanized drilling is also possible with Atlas Copco’s Rocket Boomer S1 L single-boom drill rig which has a height of 1.30 m.
