WJ-4 Diesel Underground LHD Loader

The DALI WJ-4 is a 10-ton diesel underground LHD loader for production loading and short underground haulage. Its reference configuration combines a 4.5 m3 bucket, 242 kW Cummins engine, powershift drivetrain and 2.427 m machine width. It is intended for mines that need higher tonnes per cycle without moving to the largest LHD class.

Product Overview

The WJ-4 load haul dump machine is positioned between medium-capacity loaders and larger production units. Its 10-ton payload suits repeated transfer of broken ore or waste from drawpoints and headings to ore passes, stockpiles or underground trucks.

The matching product brochure is used as the technical baseline for this draft. Because the live webpage contains a different bucket, dimensions, powertrain and performance values, DALI engineering should confirm the active configuration before publication or quotation.

Where the WJ-4 Fits Best

  • Production loading where a 10-ton LHD matches the truck or ore-pass interface
  • Underground hard-rock mines seeking more capacity than a 7-ton loader
  • Drawpoint extraction, stope cleanup and short-cycle ore transfer
  • Ramps and intersections that can accommodate a 2.427 m-wide machine
  • Sites evaluating remote control, fire suppression or automatic lubrication

Designed Around Productive 10-Ton Cycles

Capacity Without Moving to the Largest Class

The reference specification pairs a 10,000 kg rated payload with a 4.5 m3 bucket. Bucket selection should be checked against loose material density, fragmentation and fill factor so that volume does not drive the machine above its rated payload.

Loading and Tramming Performance

Published reference values include 190 kN breakout force, 230 kN maximum traction and four forward/reverse travel ranges up to 24.5 km/h. Actual results depend on road condition, gradient, tire choice, material and operator practice.

Production Powertrain

The brochure lists a Cummins QSL9 engine rated at 242 kW, a DANA C5502-263 torque converter, R36425-10 electronic powershift transmission and DANA 20D POSI-STOP axles. Confirm engine and emissions availability for the destination market.

Frame, Bucket and Ground Contact

The reference build lists a Q460 articulated frame, HARDOX 600 bucket and 18.00R25 L-5S radial tires. These details matter where impact, abrasion and sharp rock influence structural life and tire cost; material grades and tire supply should be verified in the final offer.

Braking and Energy Isolation

Wet multidisc POSI-STOP brakes act through separate circuits, with spring-applied braking for loss-of-pressure protection. The brochure also lists a master power isolator, emergency stop, articulation lock and emergency brake-release pump.

Operator Visibility and Monitoring

The reference configuration includes forward and reverse cameras, a 7-inch display, warning and fault information, work lights, beacon and reverse alarm. Confirm the final cab, visibility package and site-specific alarm requirements.

Service Support for Multi-Shift Work

Multiple service doors, grouped monitoring, automatic lubrication and clearly defined consumables can reduce routine service effort. Ask for the maintenance schedule, filter list, wear-parts recommendation and commissioning scope with the quotation.

Selection Check: Will It Fit the Loading System?

  • Verify minimum roadway width, height and safety clearance over the full route.
  • Check the 3,700 / 6,650 mm inner/outer turning radii at intersections.
  • Match the 1,888 mm dumping height and 1,629 mm discharge distance to trucks or ore passes.
  • Confirm ramp gradient, rolling resistance, haul distance and loaded travel direction.
  • Calculate payload from material density and realistic bucket fill.
  • Review ventilation capacity, fuel logistics and regional emissions requirements.
  • Specify fire protection, remote control, cameras and tire monitoring at enquiry stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the WJ-4 a 10-ton underground loader?

Yes. The matching brochure lists a rated tramming capacity of 10,000 kg. Actual material volume per cycle must remain within that payload.

What bucket is fitted?

The brochure lists 4.5 m3, while the current webpage lists 4.0 m3. DALI should confirm the current standard bucket and available density-matched alternatives.

What information is needed to size the machine?

Send the roadway profile, tightest turn, gradient, haul distance, material density, fragmentation, truck or ore-pass dimensions, tonnes-per-shift target, ventilation limits and destination country.

Is remote operation available?

Remote control is listed as an option. Confirm operating range, controlled functions, emergency stops, communications and the mine’s remote-operation procedure.
