SANDVIK LS312

FLAMEPROOF UG LOADER
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION / LS312_2019.950_REV0

Sandvik LS312 flameproof underground loader is our new 12 tonne capacity, heavy-duty loader powered by the C7.1
mechanical engine with Tier II emission standards. The new mechanical engine has been developed with targeting
minimization of emissions, maintenance and TCO of the new Sandvik LS312. This new utility vehicle and Sandvik
QDS attachments provide an efficient and safe solution to meet the challenges of coal mining. Furthermore, it can be
used in conjunction with the TT595, our 57 tonne hydraulic assist roof support trailer for relocating larger longwall
equipment.
