Sleipner DB-series will offer you fast loading, agile transporting, reliable braking and sufficient ground clearance. A totally new level of performance! FLEET OPTIMIZING Typically drills and dozers use up to 15% of their working hours travelling on tracks. Sleipner transport solution can save drills’ and bulldozers’ travelling time up to 85%.Instead of spending several hours travelling on tracks, the transportation can be done in less than an hour with Sleipner DB-series. This saved time can be used for productive work. Getting more effective working hours with the same fleet means increasing production. On the other hand, you're able to get the same amount of total effective working hours with a smaller fleet. That means smaller maintenance costs and equipment purchase budget. Either way, the Sleipner transport solution will improve the efficiency of your fleet and maximize the benefits. MAINTENANCE COST SAVINGS 20% less maintenance labor hours With Sleipner transport solution utilization, the drills’ undercarriages last 2-3 times longer and the excessive undercarriage wear of bulldozers while traveling on tracks in 3rd gear is diminished. The drills and the bulldozers can be taken to the workshop for service and maintenance instead of repairs in the pit. Workshop maintenance is much faster. When all the tools and spares are available in a safe working environment, both unplanned maintenance work and planned maintenance are performed quickly. Thanks to improved service times, the down time of the machines is reduced. After maintenance, the equipment is dropped to the next working location according to production needs. As a result, the Sleipner DB-series has a huge positive impact on the drills’ and bulldozers’ overall life cycle costs. It saves at least 20% of the maintenance labor hours. PRODUCTION PLANNING With Sleipner DB-series you get more flexibility to your daily production planning. Drills and dozers are relocated whenever needed, even in the middle of the shift. Even though the drill fleet mobility doesn’t set restrictions on the planning, the blasting sequences can be planned without compromises. Dozers can be relocated according to production needs. Areas with no need for fulltime dozer service availability are operated with shared resources. OPERATION BENEFITS The Sleipner transport solution operates in regular on-site conditions; including upward slopes, descents and tight corners that have been previously unimaginable. Big wheels provide ground clearance enabling the Sleipner transport solution to be used in rough terrain. Using an articulated dump truck as a towing vehicle provides unparalleled agility. ADT powered hydraulics tilt the bed and a drill or a dozer can be driven on to the Sleipner transport solution in a few minutes. Uphill and downhill performance capable to meet the mining industry standards with full load. SAFETY Tilting the load bed makes the loading and unloading processes safe. Sleipner DB-series models have reliable braking system. Operator can control all functions of the control system through an on-board display unit. The wheel gauge of the DB-series offers incomparable safety. There's no risk of overturning even if the wheels drop off the road. Rails and stairs ensure operators a safe passage to the cabin. USER WORDS ”With the same maintenance budget, we can now serve a larger dozer fleet, thanks to the new mobility possibilities of the Sleipner DB-series. All maintenance actions are done in the workshop. This has been saving 20% of labor hours and has improved maintenance safety. We can load and unload wherever needed, and we can even relocate the equipment to new dozing sites after the service. The use of Sleipner DB-series is safe and easy, as one man can handle the whole loading process.” KEY FACTS 2 different models for different payload capacity Maximum payload is 80/130 tonnes depend upon the DB-model Quick rear-entry loading and unloading – loading time for dozers is less than two minutes One person can handle the whole loading procedure Agile design; ADT and Sleipner’s DB combination can be turned around on width of a two way mine road as the turning radius is 11 – 14.5 meters, depending on the combination. Flat, unencumbered load bed with load-binding points Load bed is wider than loaded equipment tracks There is no risk of overturning even if the wheels drop off the road Reversing camera system ensures maneuvering safety Fifth wheel attachment is available for all commonly used ADTs Multipurpose, can accommodate all kinds of pit equipment besides drill and bulldozers: excavators, wheel loader, trucks, bucket, pumps, light towers, etc. SUITABLE FLEET DB80 DB130 Max payload (tonnes) 80 130 Recommended prime mover Cat 740, Volvo A40, Bell B40 Cat 745, Volvo A45/A60, Bell B45/B50 Turning radius 13m 14m Suitable drills DB80 DB130 Atlas Copco Flexi ROC D65 X X Atlas Copco DM30 / 35 X X Atlas Copco DM45 / DM50 X X Atlas Copco DML-SP X X Atlas Copco PV235 X X Atlas Copco 271 / 275 X Cat M6290 X X Cat MD6240 X X Cat MD6250 X* X Cat MD6310 X Sandvik DI650 / DP1500 X X Sandvik D254S X X Sandvik D45KS / D50KS X X Sandvik D55SP X Sandvik D75KS X * May require removal of handrails, depends on the configuration.
