Siton WJL-3 Battery-electric LHD loader

Siton WJL-3 battery electric loader is a kind of green mining equipment, the payload is 7 t, suitable for drifts with a cross section at least 3.8 m wide and 3.8 m high and gradeability up to 14. This battery-electric LHD is widely applied in metal mines, non-metal mines and tunnel projects, is an ideal match for the Siton UK-20 truck.Through zero emission and low noise design, it can significantly solve the problems of underground exhaust pollution and ventilation in underground operations. With dual-chargers in tandem, the loader can be fully recharged within 1 hour and ensure 6 to 7 hours of continuous operation and superior productivity. It adopts an intelligent thermal management system to adapt to complex environment such as high temperature.

Factory ready for integrated remote control, autonomous operations tramming, and real-time data monitoring systems promotes "less people" smart operation underground. Each unit reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 80 tons per year and greatly reduces heat generation. The maximized availability and uptime increase total performance by 40%. Built on the proven WJ-3 platform. With the advancement of technologies, battery-electric loaders are rapidly replacing diesel loaders and are expected to reach a 25% penetration rate in non-coal mines, becoming a driving force in the low-carbon transformation of the mining industry.

Features and benefits

1.Safety

Siton WJL-3 underground loader features a full set of safety systems, including spring-applied, hydraulically-released (SAHR) brake and the combination of parking and emergency functions, ensuring reliable stopping in emergency. Door interlock: applies brakes, blocks steering and bucket/boom movement when door opens.Its canopy is ISO ROPS and FOPS certified. Standard-equipped LED lights and Audio-visual reverse alarm improve visibility and help to avoid the loader colliding with walls, other equipment, or personnel.

2.High Efficiency

Siton WJL-3 features a high-performance electric drive system that delivers fast response, high starting torque, and smooth power output, enabling efficient operation under various working conditions. Featuring dual-outlet fast charging, the loader can be fully recharged within 1 hour and provide 6 to 7 hours of continuous operation, ensuring sustained productivity. Additionally, regenerative braking supports energy recovery, further extending the runtime and enhancing overall energy efficiency.

3.Flexibility

WJL-3 adopts a central articulated structure between its front and rear frames, combined with a swing linkage mounted on a slewing bearing and four-wheel drive. This design ensures exceptional passability and steering precision in narrow drifts. The fully hydraulic power steering system reduces operator workload and enables agile maneuvering even under harsh underground conditions.

4.Maintenance

All daily maintenance can be performed from the ground. The equipment structure is compact and reasonable, and the layout of key components is clear, which facilitates quick positioning and troubleshooting. The accessories are highly universal and easy to replace, which shortens the maintenance cycle and further reduces the operating cost and manpower input.

5.Zero Emissions

Siton WJL-3 loader features a fully electric drive system that eliminates exhaust emissions, improves underground air quality, and significantly reduces ventilation requirements and energy consumption. Compared to traditional diesel equipment, it produces less noise, vibration, and heat, offering a cleaner and more comfortable working environment for operators.
