Abstract:
      In those underground mines where high-efficiency, no-pollution and low-cost electric-driven LHDs are used, there is a problem of which an electric-driven LHD have to be transferred by means of a certain method from a site to another, named as "site-transfer". The traditional "site-transfer" method is complex in technology because the power cable is necessary to be laid along transfer ways while special generator set is high in investment and cost. TORO 007 is a diesel-driven LHD with high performance and flexibility itself, and also can be used as a tractor, making the "site-transfer" very easy. In this paper, the design idea for TORO 007 is introduced, and the technical issues that must be solved when TORO 007 is used as a tractor are presented. At the same time, the outlook for marketing of TORO-series LHDs including TORO 007 is made.
