180-degree boom swing. Loads in tight places behind a continuous or bore miner.

— WHY THE Hopper Swing Tail Loader

Key advantages

Swing

180-Degree Boom Swing

Full 180-degree swing gives the operator a wide range of loading positions, especially useful where the haulage unit cannot line up directly behind the miner.

Articulation

45-Degree Mid Articulation

The boom articulates midway up to 45 degrees for precise placement into shuttle cars, mine cars, or conveyors in confined spaces.

Discharge

Up to 10-Foot Elevation

The discharge end elevates up to 10 feet, giving you the height needed to load into any haulage unit your operation runs.

PowerDual

Power Options

Powered by auxiliary hydraulics from the miner it follows, or by electric power. Configured to your operation and available power source.
