UK-20 20-Ton Underground Mining Truck

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.

Product Overview

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.

When the 20-Ton Class Adds Value

  • Medium-scale production routes where fewer trips improve system throughput
  • Loading fleets that can fill 20 tonnes in an efficient pass count
  • Roadways that accept 9.064 m length and 2.28 m width
  • Ramps and floors designed for a 40,500 kg loaded truck
  • Operations ready for the ventilation, tire and braking demands of the larger class

Capacity Must Be Supported by Infrastructure

20-Ton Payload and 10 m3 Body

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-15 Versus UK-20

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.

Route Geometry

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.

235 kW Volvo Reference Engine

The reference powertrain combines Volvo TAD853VE, DANA C5000-series converter, RT36000 transmission and Kessler D81 axles. Regional emissions availability requires confirmation.

Full-Cycle Road and Brake Review

At 40.5 tonnes loaded, sustained gradient, road resistance, braking heat, tire selection and surface maintenance influence achievable output more than peak speed alone.

UK-20 Production Checklist

  • Confirm complete route envelope and raised-body clearance.
  • Match loader payload to an efficient truck pass count.
  • Model gradient, distance, traffic, queueing and dump turnaround.
  • Check floor bearing condition, road maintenance and recovery equipment.
  • Review ventilation, engine heat and emissions requirements.
  • Define brakes, cameras, fire suppression, lubrication and operator protection.
  • Confirm workshop access, tire support and initial spare-parts scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose UK-20 or UK-15?

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.

What loader should match UK-20?

Use actual tonnes per bucket to target an efficient number of passes. Send the LHD model, material density and truck-body geometry for review.

Which speed value is current?

The brochure lists 25 km/h maximum; the webpage lists 28.4 km/h. The active drivetrain and test condition must be confirmed.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Provide route, grade, distance, density, loader model, dumping interface, tonnes-per-shift target, ventilation data and destination.
