very short trips to haul trucks or other 

forms of equipment used purely for 

haulage. While both LHDs and front-end 

loaders have a hydraulically operated 

digging and lifting bucket on the front, 

the similarities between the two pieces 

of equipment end there. 

(2) The configuration of the two types 

of equipment is also strikingly different. 

In general, the operator’s compartment 

of a front-end loader sits directly behind 

the scoop or bucket, facing forward to 

facilitate the equipment’s sole mission 

of picking up multiple loads for the 

purpose of transferring them to haulage 

equipment. The operator’s cab of a 

typical LHD is located in the middle of 

the machine to facilitate the equipment 

taking a single scoop or bucket load and 

then tramming in the opposite direction 

to a dump point. The midships 

positioning of the operator’s cab on an 

LHD is intended to allow it to haul 

comparatively long distances in narrow 

areas where it is often unable to turn the 

machine around before initiating the 

haul. In this configuration the operator 

sits sideways, maximizing his ability to 

see where he is going when traveling in 

either direction. 

(3) Although the standard clearly 

applies to front-end loaders used in 

surface operations, when discussing the 

standard for backup alarms, 30 CFR 

57.14132 explicitly mentions and 

exempts load, haul, dump vehicles from 

that standard by name; [the back-up 

alarm/horn requirement] is applicable to 

surface mines and surface areas of 

underground mines only, because the 

construction of load, haul, dump 

vehicles generally used underground is 

such that the view to the rear is less 

likely to be obstructed. If 30 CFR 

57.14106(a) was meant to apply to 

LHDs, the standard would have 

specifically referenced this type of 

equipment. 

The petitioner asserts that application 

of the existing standard would result in 

diminution of safety to the miners.
