THU 5.8: the king of the underground
When it comes to tailor-made solutions for the mining sector, Magni is at the forefront with its THU 5.8. This TH range model has been specially designed to meet the specific needs of mining. Let’s find out why it is your best ally for mining work.
The THU 5.8 is powerful: it has a lifting capacity of 5 tonnes and a lifting height of 7.6 metres. Designed to access very low tunnels, it has a maximum height of 2 m.
It has an innovative design that makes the most of its compact size and allows for easy manoeuvring. On the one hand, the lowered chassis allows access to low ceiling places such as narrow passages and mining sites. On the other hand, it is compact to ensure maximum manoeuvrability even in tunnels that are difficult to access.
The off-road requirements of the mining sector are perfectly met by the combination of hydrostatic transmission and four-wheel drive, which ensure maximum traction and grip even on rough and uneven terrain. Semi-solid anti-cut tyres are the icing on the cake as they provide excellent heat resistance and enable the machine to operate on rocky surfaces.
Another problem with mines is the lack of lighting and the temperature difference. Don’t worry, Magni has thought of this too! Besides the forward and reverse directional lights, the THU 5.8 is equipped with four LED working lights on the cab and boom. Secondly, the cab is equipped with an air conditioning and heating system to ensure maximum operator comfort. In addition to being pressurised, the cab has an air filtration system to work in total safety.
Last but not least, since in mines the operator is exposed to high risks, we have equipped this model with complete safety systems to considerably reduce the associated dangers. The machine features protection grids on the headlights and on all sides of the cab, against the risk of fall of rocks or objects. Moreover, in dangerous situations, the operator can rely on the external fire extinguishers and the double emergency stop button outside and inside the cab, which completely shut off the machine.
One of the factors that characterises the Magni brand is the ability to offer ad hoc solutions for all market needs in every application. Our experience in the various lifting sectors allows us to know in advance the needs of our customers and to satisfy them at 360° with unparalleled performance machines.
