Elphinstone ' s WR810 platform has moved up a level with options and innovations - battery electric versions are next on the horizon
protection . The operator cabin comfortably seats three people , allowing an entire crew to travel together rather than deploying an additional light vehicle for personnel transport .
For top braking performance on grade , the WR810 also features an electromagnetic retarder with electronic speed control . The innovative electronic design significantly reduces the
retarder ’ s energy consumption , preserving
electric circuits . The retarder is controlled via an integrated multi-function joystick controller located on the operator ’ s right-side armrest .
The WR810 Water Cannon , a dual-application machine that washes down ore fines , blasts material hang-ups , and fights fires . In addition , the side and rear water sprays suppress haulroad dust and wash down internal surfaces of tunnels .
Offering a flexible transport solution , the WR810 Delivery provides lift-on or lift-off capability , ideal for moving parts , components ,
equipment , and maintenance personnel safely and securely throughout the mine site .
The WR810 Scissor Lift has a purpose-built underground elevated platform , ideal for safe transportation and installation of components and services into the mine ceiling . Specialising in transporting smaller batches of concrete to backfill voids , the WR810 Agitator 6 m 3 has excellent speed on grade , improving improving cycle times and increasing production . The WR810 Fuel and Lube provides in-situ top-up servicing of production machines and equipment within the mine , reducing servicing time and traffic on haul routes .
Featuring a large flat deck , the WR810 Flat Deck has proven itself to be a popular alternative to the delivery truck ( with crane ), providing optimal space for the transport of parts , components , and equipment . Boasting a maximum payload of 15,000 kg , the flat deck can easily accommodate eight standard-size pallets .
