The DALI UK-20 is a 20-ton articulated underground mining truck for medium-scale production haulage. Its matching brochure lists a 10 m3 dump body, 2.28 m width, 235 kW Volvo engine and 40.5-ton loaded weight, making route capacity, loader matching and sustained ramp duty central to selection.

UK-20 is an output-led choice for mines where a 20-ton payload reduces truck trips and aligns with a larger LHD. Compared with UK-15, it adds five tonnes of payload but also increases length, loaded mass and infrastructure demand.
The matching UK-20 brochure is the primary technical source. Several live-page values differ, including speed, weight, turning radii and engine power; engineering must confirm the production version before publishing a downloadable specification.
The nominal relationship is 2 t/m3. High-density material may reach payload before the body is full; establish loader bucket tonnes and loading rules from actual material data.
UK-20 adds 5,000 kg payload and 2.5 m3 body capacity. It is only the better choice when road geometry, loader capacity and downstream dumping can use that increase without creating new bottlenecks.
The brochure lists 4,647 / 7,805 mm turning radii, 334 mm ground clearance and 4,736 mm raised-body height. Verify passing bays, corners, workshop access and dumping clearance.
The reference powertrain combines Volvo TAD853VE, DANA C5000-series converter, RT36000 transmission and Kessler D81 axles. Regional emissions availability requires confirmation.
At 40.5 tonnes loaded, sustained gradient, road resistance, braking heat, tire selection and surface maintenance influence achievable output more than peak speed alone.

Choose UK-20 when the route, loader and dumping system can use five additional tonnes per trip. UK-15 remains better where space or infrastructure is the binding constraint.
Use actual tonnes per bucket to target an efficient number of passes. Send the LHD model, material density and truck-body geometry for review.
The brochure lists 25 km/h maximum; the webpage lists 28.4 km/h. The active drivetrain and test condition must be confirmed.
Provide route, grade, distance, density, loader model, dumping interface, tonnes-per-shift target, ventilation data and destination.
