UK-15 15-Ton Underground Mining Truck

The DALI UK-15 is a 15-ton articulated underground mining truck for small- to medium-scale haulage. The matching brochure lists a 7.5 m3 dump body, 2.21 m width, 160 kW Volvo engine and four-speed DANA drivetrain, positioning it as a step up from compact UK-10/12 trucks without entering the 20-ton class.

Product Overview

UK-15 is sized for mines where a 15-ton payload provides a better loader-pass match and fewer trips than a 10- or 12-ton truck, while roadway restrictions discourage a 20-ton unit. Its 2.21 m reference width and articulated chassis are key inputs for route approval.

This draft uses the matching UK-15 brochure as its technical baseline. The live webpage describes a different Deutz/DANA configuration and different weight and turning data; those conflicts must be resolved before publication.

Best-Fit Haulage Role

  • Small- to medium-scale underground production and development haulage
  • Routes that accept a 2.21 m-wide truck and 4,250 / 7,100 mm turning radii
  • Loading systems that can fill 15 tonnes in a practical number of passes
  • Cycles where moving beyond UK-12 improves trip productivity
  • Mines that do not require the payload and infrastructure of UK-20

Plan Around Route Geometry and Pass Count

15-Ton Payload and 7.5 m3 Body

The body-to-payload relationship equals 2 t/m3 at nominal volume. Confirm loose density and fill factor so material weight, not body fullness, controls loading.

Loader Matching

A 6-ton LHD may provide approximately three practical passes, while smaller loaders require more. Use actual bucket tonnes and truck loading geometry rather than nominal volumes alone.

Reference 2.21 m Width

The brochure lists 7,940 x 2,210 x 2,370 mm overall dimensions, 4,225 mm wheelbase and 340 mm ground clearance. Check corner sweep, passing bays and 4,520 mm raised-body height.

Volvo and DANA Reference Drivetrain

The brochure lists a 160 kW Volvo engine, DANA C273 converter, DANA R32000 transmission and Kessler D81 axles. The current webpage instead lists Deutz and other components.

Loaded Weight and Road Demand

Fully loaded weight is 30,500 kg in the brochure. Floor condition, ramp grade, braking, tire heat and road maintenance should be assessed for the complete cycle.

UK-15 Haul-Route Checklist

  • Confirm route dimensions, turning sweep and raised-body clearance.
  • Match loader bucket tonnes to truck payload and body geometry.
  • Model loaded/empty travel direction, gradient, distance and queueing.
  • Review road bearing condition, drainage, tires and recovery access.
  • Check ventilation and destination-market engine requirements.
  • Confirm brakes, cameras, fire protection, articulation lock and body support.
  • Define remote-control need and operator-protection documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose UK-15 instead of UK-12?

UK-15 adds 3,000 kg payload and provides a documented 2.21 m-wide reference envelope. Choose it when the route and loader can use the extra capacity efficiently.

Which engine is standard?

The brochure lists a 160 kW Volvo engine; the webpage lists a 165 kW Deutz BF6M1013EC. The current production configuration must be confirmed in writing.

What safety equipment is included?

The brochure lists braking, articulation lock, body support, rear camera, reverse alarm and other items. Verify standard/optional status and obtain model-level protective-structure evidence.

What project data is needed?

Send route drawings, gradient, distance, density, loader model, dumping point, ventilation limits, production target and destination.
