Load Haul Dump (LHD)

Compact Loader

The new Bucyrus compact loader offers unique features not found in any other product in the underground coal market, particularly in the area of the cab and controls and sets the bar in the sub-10-market. The Compact Loader is engineered to access low seam operations that have proven difficult to access with current equipment available.

FBL 10

The FBL 10 is a multi-functional vehicle designed to maximize speed, power and carrying capacity in a compact envelope. The modern coal mine needs versatile equipment. With the RAS (Rapid Attachment System) fitted, the FBL 10 allows rapid changes from bucket to forks to jib crane to belt reeler. Used in conjunction with the CHT 50 Shield Trailer, the FBL 10 is a high-speed shield transport combination.

• Capacity: Forks 10,000kg, bucket 8,000kg.
• OAL: 9,665mm
• OAW: 2,300mm
• OAH: 1,800mm - 2,052mm over canopy
• H.O.B: 1,500mm
• Engine: Cat 3126 DITA 171kw/230hp
• Exhaust system: Wet bath or dry type with particulate filer
• Transmission: Clark, Powershift 4-speed MHR32000 series
• Axles: Clark, 16D Heavy Duty
• Differential: Posi Torque
• Braking: Posi Stop, spring-applied hydraulic release
• Tires: 17.5 x 25

FBL 15

The FBL 15 has the highest speed of any underground coal machine in the world. Versatility and speed were key design criteria for the FBL 15. Speed and power are required to move longwall shields, already weighing up to 40 tonnes and expected to increase in weight. When coupled with the CHT 50, the two form a high-speed combination for quick and safe haulage of shields weighing up to 50 tonnes. The RAS system ensures versatility and maximum utilization of the unit.

• Capacity: Forks 15,000 kg, bucket 12,000 kg
• OAL: 10,628 mm
• OAW: 2,550 mm
• OAH: 1900 mm - 2150 mm over canopy
• HOB: 1,650 mm
• Engine: Cat 3126 DITA 195kw/260hp
• Exhaust system: Wet bath or dry style with particulate filer
• Transmission: Clark, Powershift 4-speed, MHR 36,000 series
• Axles: Clark 19D Heavy Duty
• Differential: Posi Torque
• Braking: Posi Stop, spring applied hydraulic release
• Tires: 20.5 x 25

CHT 50 Trailer

When used in combination with the FBL-10 and FBL-15 Utility/LHD/Tractor machines, the CHT-50 is the most cost-effective solution for mines that require equipment that perform multiple tasks.

• Designed to carry shields up to 55 tons (50 tonnes), 2 meters wide
• Raised and lowered by floor-mounted hydraulic cylinders
• Available with one-piece knuckle-style RAS attachment or 5th-wheel arrangement
• Capacity: 55 tons (50 tonnes)
