WJ-3EB Battery Electric Underground LHD

The DALI WJ-3EB is a 7-ton battery electric underground LHD for loading, hauling and dumping ore in mine development and production areas. It pairs a 3.0 m³ bucket with a 282 kWh LiFePO4 battery, external fast charging and a compact 2.1 m machine width. Battery propulsion eliminates diesel exhaust at the point of use and removes trailing-cable restrictions.

Product Overview

As a battery electric underground LHD, the WJ-3EB is designed for underground material handling. Its 7,000 kg rated payload and 3.0 m³ bucket place it in the medium-capacity range for mine development and production loading.

The onboard battery allows the loader to travel without a trailing power cable. With no diesel engine, the machine produces no diesel exhaust at the point of use. Actual ventilation, heat-load and charging requirements must still be assessed for the complete underground operation.

Recommended Applications

  • Loading blasted ore or waste in underground mine headings
  • Short-distance haulage from the working face to an ore pass, stockpile or underground truck
  • Mine development and production loading where a 7-ton payload matches the haulage cycle
  • Underground operations seeking battery mobility without a trailing cable
  • Access routes that can accommodate a 2,100 mm machine width and the published turning envelope

Key Features and Buyer Benefits

7-Ton Payload with a 3.0 m³ Bucket

The rated 7,000 kg tramming capacity and standard 3.0 m³ bucket provide a practical combination for medium-scale underground loading. Final bucket selection should account for loose material density, fragmentation, fill factor and the mine’s truck or ore-pass interface.

282 kWh LiFePO4 Battery

The published battery system provides 282 kWh of usable capacity and uses LiFePO4 chemistry. Liquid cell cooling and an integrated thermal-management system are listed to manage battery temperature during operation and charging.

External Fast-Charging Arrangement

The page lists an external charger and a minimum charge time of one hour from 0% to 90%. This gives planners a starting point for scheduling charging windows, but charger power, mine input voltage, charging-bay design and real cycle time must be confirmed for each project.

Cable-Free Electric Mobility

Unlike a tethered electric LHD, the onboard battery does not require a trailing cable during loading and tramming. This supports movement between headings and haulage points while avoiding diesel exhaust at the machine.

Compact Underground Envelope

Published drawings show an overall length of approximately 9,400 mm, width of 2,100 mm and height of 2,270 mm. The indicated inner and outer turning radii are approximately 3,290 mm and 5,850 mm, helping buyers check bends, intersections and loading areas before ordering.

Separate Traction and Hydraulic Functions

The current specification lists separate traction and auxiliary electric-drive functions, both liquid cooled. This arrangement allows propulsion and hydraulic work functions to be powered independently; final motor ratings and component brands require engineering confirmation.

Published Loading-Cycle Times

Boom raising, lowering and dumping times are listed as 5.0, 3.3 and 3.3 seconds respectively. These figures help compare machine configurations, although actual cycle output will depend on route, gradient, material, bucket fill, operator practice and charging strategy.

Site and Charging Compatibility

Before requesting a quotation, provide the roadway profile, minimum width and height, gradient, corner radii, travel distance and loading/dumping layout. Also provide material density, fragmentation, target tonnes per shift and the receiving truck, crusher or ore-pass dimensions.

For the battery system, confirm duty cycle, available charging windows, charging-bay location, mine electrical supply, ambient temperature and whether the project needs an additional battery or off-board battery arrangement. The published operating-temperature range is 0-40°C; applications outside this range require written approval.

Battery, Safety and Maintenance Questions

The published specification lists LiFePO4 chemistry, liquid battery cooling and integrated thermal management. It does not provide enough detail to establish market-specific compliance or the complete high-voltage safety package.

Before purchase, confirm battery isolation, emergency shutdown, charging interlocks, fire detection or suppression, towing and recovery procedures, operator protective structure, brake configuration, maintenance lockout, charger certification and local mine approval requirements. Battery warranty, expected cycle life and end-of-life handling should also be documented in the quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does LHD mean?

LHD means load-haul-dump. The machine loads broken material into its bucket, hauls it through underground roadways and dumps it at a transfer point, ore pass, stockpile or truck.

Is the WJ-3EB a cable-electric loader?

No. The current specification describes an onboard battery with external charging. This allows the loader to travel without a trailing power cable during operation.

How long does the battery take to charge?

The published minimum is one hour from 0% to 90%. Actual time depends on the approved charger, electrical supply, battery temperature and charging controls. Confirm charger input and output ratings before planning the charging infrastructure.

How long will the loader operate on one charge?

The current page does not publish a verified runtime. Runtime will vary with payload, route length, gradient, travel speed, hydraulic use, temperature and idle time. Send a representative duty cycle so DALI can check the battery and charging plan.

Does zero exhaust mean no underground ventilation is required?

No. Battery propulsion removes diesel exhaust at the machine, but mine ventilation must still address blasting fumes, dust, heat, people and other equipment in accordance with the site’s ventilation design and regulations.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Send the roadway profile, route length, gradient, material density, target tonnes per shift, loading and dump-point layout, charging windows, available electrical supply, ambient temperature, destination country and required safety package.
