Sandvik releases an upgraded Toro™ LH208L low profile loader
Another low profile unit joins Toro™ family from Sandvik, Toro™ LH208L loader. The loader is tailor-made to operate efficiently in conditions where working height is extremely limited; its equipment height is only 1.6 meters and payload capacity 7.7 tonnes. The main markets for Toro™ LH208L loader are in the southern Africa.
Designed for low profile applications
Toro™ LH208L loader is a strong and reliable workhorse for low profile hard rock mining, specifically designed for the toughest of conditions. With its robust reinforced structure, compact size, high payload capacity and components that are designed to perform in the mine environment, the loader is tailored to meet the productivity targets in the applications where the working height is extremely limited. Toro™ LH208L loader frames are reinforced to resist ground and roof impacts, and the welded steel box structures used in the frame and boom provide strong resistance to shock loads.
Operator safety
Toro™ LH208L loader comes with a ROPS and FOPS certified canopy, protecting the operator in case of rolling over or falling objects. The canopy door includes a door lock and latch mechanism with an interlock switch which automatically applies brakes and inactivates boom, bucket and steering when the door is opened. For better visibility from the operator’s position, adjustable high-power LED lights are a standard configuration. All-around operator visibility is further improved with a standard monitoring camera system including front and rear cameras. To improve overall safety underground, a Proximity Detection System (PDS) interface option is also available.
Improved productivity with digital options
Toro™ LH208L loader offers options specifically designed to improve productivity, such as Sandvik integrated weighing system IWS and traction control, both already available for several other Sandvik loaders. The integrated weighing system measures the payload when lifting the boom, as well as the number of buckets filled during a shift, and records the results to My Sandvik Digital Services Knowledge Box™. Payload monitoring assists in maximizing productivity by optimizing loads, reducing overloading and helping to identify training needs. The traction control system reduces wheel slippage when penetrating to the muck pile and filling the bucket, extending tire lifetime and decreasing rubber waste.
Proven engine technology
The loader is equipped with a robust 140 kW Stage II engine from Deutz, and with a catalytic purifier and muffler. The optionally available diesel particulate filter (DPF) is made of sintered metal, is field serviceable and can be cleaned with a high-pressure washer or steam cleaner. Using sintered metal as the DPF material also results in a long service interval. To reduce emissions and consumption of fossil fuel, the engine can also use paraffinic fuel, thereby meeting EN 15940 requirements.
