Global Mining Review,
Since its launch in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Aramine's L350D mining loader has been widely used in various mining operations worldwide. Setting itself apart as the leading 3.5 t loader on the market with a comfortable cabin positioned at the centre of the machine, the L350D quickly gained recognition within the industry.
Initially marketed as a 3.5 t loader while awaiting the necessary certifications, the L350D was designed with robust hydraulic systems, chassis, and transmission, rigorously tested to ensure its capacity to handle a 4 t load in its bucket.
Today, the loader has reached 60 000 cumulative operating hours in just three years, with 20 machines in operation and six more in the process of delivery and start-up. The machine has over 11 555 hours on the clock and remains entirely in its original condition.
After real-world testing and obtaining the necessary certifications, Aramine has presented the new version of the L350D, with a 4 t transport capacity.
Key enhancements include:
- Upgraded cabin: For increased visibility in both directions, the cabin has been raised, providing a safer and more ergonomic working environment.
- Optional Low-Profile version: A Low-Profile version has been created, with a cabin height of less than 2 m to meet the requirements of mines with limited spaces.
- Environmental commitment: Aramine has transitioned to a more fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly engine as standard. The L350D is now available in Tier 3 or Tier V versions, depending on the machine's ultimate destination.
"The L350D mining loader remains a benchmark in the industry, combining power and durability, and we are confident that this new version will further solidify its success in the global market.", said Marc Melkonian, Co-President.
The battery-powered version, the L440B, has its final version currently in production after its prototype passed all the required tests.
