In Underground mining, confined space and limited visibility due to dust or poor lighting increase the risk of collision with pedestrians, other machines or walls. Collision is one of the major risk on underground mining with several fatalities registered every year.
In order to increase the visibility of the operator and to limit risk of collision, Sandvik has developed cameras system for Loader.
Cameras system improves the safety by increasing the operator field of vision, allowing view on the blind areas. It also limits the risk of collision with walls that would cause damages on the equipment.
The system includes two cameras located on front and rear on the machine, on the opposite side of the cabin.(Two monitors (one for each camera) are located on the cabin (only 1 monitor on LH208L) . An optional recording device is also available on some models.
