GHH reported the new 45-metric ton (mt) MK-42 dump truck offers a 24-m3 dump volume, “maximum drive power, great turning radius, large dumping angle, and excellent ergonomics and safety.” The MK-42 comes with a Stage V 460-kilowatt (kW) Mercedes OM473 engine as standard. Tier 3 and 4 versions are available. Volvo TAD1651 or 1671 engines are also available.
With Kessler axles and with a Dana 8000 series converter and gearbox combo, the model is designed for use in harsh underground environments. At 3 m wide and high, and 10.5 m long, it is “surprisingly compact,” the company reported. It offers a “large dumping angle” of 68° for high efficiencies and optimal cycle times.
The cab is rollover and falling object protection certified and designed to be spacious, quiet, pressurized and air conditioned, GHH reported. It comes with trainer seats.
The MK-42 is best paired with the LF-14 Loader for three-pass loading. The company offers consulting, aftermarket support, parts sales and technical training.
Currently, the truck is available in Russia. Global sales will follow further testing, GHH reported.
