utilization uptime. With no additional equipment or operators required, the Sleipner uses the load and haul pair – to crate mobility to the hydraulic shovel when the E-series is used for transport. DB-series The Sleipner DB-series is used for the transportation of bulldozers, drilling machines and other heavy tracked machines weighting up to 120t. DB- series is powered by an ADT and consists of a hydraulically controlled tilting bed with high clearance. DB- series enables quick rear-entry loading and unloading, loading time for dozers is less than two minutes. One person can handle the whole loading procedure. It has a double articulated agile design which enables picking-up and delivering of equipment on hard conditions. ADT and Sleipner’s DB combination can be turned around on width of a two way mine road as the turning radius is 11 – 14.5 meters, depending of the combination. DB-series advanced, proven braking system is well integrated with the prime mover and it provides safe transport in every condition. With Sleipner DB-series utilization, the drills’ undercarriage last 2-3 time longer and the excessive undercarriage wear of bulldozers while traveling in 3rd gear is diminished. The ease of relocation from the pit enables much more maintenance to be performed preventively and in the better conditions found in the workshop, resulting in large reductions in expensive and disruptive breakdowns.
