The Aramine L350D mining loader evolves
Since its launch in 2020, during the global COVID-19 pandemic, the L350D mining loader has proven its efficiency and resilience in various mining operations worldwide. Setting itself apart as the only 3.5-ton loader in the market with a comfortable cabin positioned at the centre of the machine, the L350D quickly gained recognition within the industry.
Initially marketed as a 3.5-ton loader while awaiting the necessary certifications, the L350D was designed with robust hydraulic systems, chassis, and transmission, rigorously tested to ensure its capacity to handle a 4-ton load in its bucket.
Today, with over 60,000 cumulative operating hours in just three years, 20 machines in operation and 6 more in the process of delivery and start-up, we have gained invaluable experience that confirms the exceptional durability of the L350D. The machine, with the record for operating hours, has over 11,555 hours on the clock and remains entirely in its original condition.
After these years of real-world testing and obtaining the necessary certifications, we are proud to present the new version of the L350D. We can now ensure a 4-ton transport capacity, further strengthening our position as a market leader.
Key enhancements include:
Upgraded cabin: For increased visibility in both directions, the cabin has been raised, providing an even safer and more ergonomic working environment. Optional Low-Profile version: We have also created a Low-Profile version with a cabin height of less than 2 meters to meet the requirements of mines with limited spaces.
Environmental commitment: Mindful of our social and environmental responsibility, we have transitioned to a more fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly engine as standard, perfectly matched to the machine’s power needs. The L350D is now available in Tier 3 or Tier V versions, depending on the machine’s ultimate destination.
“The L350D mining loader remains a benchmark in the industry, combining power and durability, and we are confident that this new version will further solidify its success in the global market,” Marc MELKONIAN, Co-President
The much-anticipated battery-powered version, the L440B, has its final version currently in production after its prototype passed all the required tests. Our next press release will provide further details on this revolutionary gem in the mining world. “Aramine, designing the future of mining.”
