Toro™ LH514BE

Toro™ LH514BE is the next level of electric loaders: a battery-assisted electric loader. While maintaining the best in class payload to weight ratio, the 14 tonne loader also can easily disconnect from the power grid and drive to its new location. Toro™ LH514BE is your next step to harness the power of electrification, battery technology, and automation.

Safer. Stronger. Smarter.

Toro™ LH514BE is a cable-electric loader, now upgraded with cutting-edge battery technology. During normal operation, it works like a traditional cable-powered loader, while also benefitting from a boost that the battery brings. When the loader needs to be moved to another location, the cable can disconnect from the power grid and use battery power only to drive to its new location or to the maintenance bay.

Along with not needing a vehicle to tow the loader to a different area, there is no need for refueling or recharging stations because the battery charges during operation. As a battery chemistry, Toro™ LH514BE utilizes Lithium-Iron Phosphate chemistry (LiFePO4 or LFP) which is a fit-for-purpose choice for underground mining environments.

AutoMine® compatible loader with built-in intelligence

Toro™ LH514BE is available with Sandvik’s high-performing, robust and comprehensive automation system AutoMine®. With AutoMine®, a fleet of equipment can be converted into a high-performing autonomous production system, providing significant safety and productivity improvements for mine operations. Toro™ LH514BE can be delivered with AutoMine®, or the system can easily be retrofitted later during the loader’s lifetime.

Standard features include Sandvik’s intelligent control system and a 7-inch touchscreen display, providing easy access to data. General battery health and status monitoring data as well as battery charge information on the control system diagnostics. As usual in Sandvik’s large loaders, the integrated weighing system (IWS) option measures payload data and records the results to My Sandvik Digital Services Knowledge Box™. The Knowledge Box™ transfers the data to the My Sandvik internet portal for visualization of fleet health, productivity and utilization. The OptiMine® solution can also use transferred data for improving mining process efficiency.
