Komatsu Mining Magazine Load And Haul Winner

Komatsu Mining Magazine Load And Haul Winner
The Mining Magazine awards celebrate innovation and commitment to advancing the face of mining, not just technologically but also sustainably and in an environmentally respectful manner. Readers nominate the best mines, teams and projects that they have seen  throughout the year and then select 11 winners from that pool.
This year Komatsu Autonomous Haulage Vehicle was the winner of Load and haul award. Unlike from its  930E and 830E autonomous models, Komatsu developed this vehicle exclusively as an unmanned vehicle. By distributing equal load to the four wheels, both when the vehicle is loaded and unloaded, and by adopting four-wheel drive, retarder and steering, the vehicle will be able to shuttle in both forward and reverse travel directions, thereby eliminating the need for K-turns at loading and unloading sites.
