Haul road maintenance has never been easier and the UG20K can significantly increase the productivity and reduce operational costs of the production fleet. The UG20K is available in multiple machine configurations to suit underground hard rock mining.
Designed for safety and comfort, the enclosed, three-seater, climate-controlled air-conditioned cabin means everyone will want to operate an Elphinstone WR810. Spacious layout, adjustable steering column, large touch screen display and excellent 360-degree visibility make operating the WR810 safe and reliable. Ergonomic fingertip control and keypad fitted to the right-hand armrest of the operator’s seat means the operator has full control of the braking performance of the machine.
Dale Elphinstone’s first fully designed and manufactured underground mining product was a 13 tonne articulated dump truck, sold to Agnew Mining in 1983. Between the years of 1975 and 1995, Elphinstone delivered underground mining machines to over 50 locations throughout Australia and more than 35 global export sites across 5 continents. Now, just 45 years later, Elphinstone continues to design and manufacture safe, reliable and innovative surface haulage solutions and underground mining support equipment, commissioned and delivered to loyal and valued customers around the world.
