730E-8 Electric Drive Mining Truck

The 203 ton capacity 730E-8 is a very versatile electric drive mining truck that features 1,860 flywheel horsepower. The cab has an integral ROPS, air ride seat, dynamic retarding and power steering with auto emergency steering to make the operator comfortable and more productive. To make the 730E more productive, a trolley assist option is available for circumstances where an overhead electrified trolley system can be used.

Features

Automatic Speed Control

While in retard or propel, the operator has the ability to select a comfortable travel speed. Automatic Speed Control simultaneously manages the speed of each wheel independently to allow for any immediate adjustments needed during slippery underfoot conditions.

Automotive Style Instrument Panel

The 730E comes with a new operator friendly dash configuration which includes lighted gauges, switches, and information panel. This allows the operator to see the status of the machine during operation and informs them of any faults. An instructive message will appear after any fault is detected on the machine.

Built-in ROPS and FOPS Structure

Integral ROPS/FOPS Level 2 cab. These structures conform to ISO standards 3471 and 3449.

Electric Dynamic Retarder

The 2387 kW 3,200 HP retarding system provides state ofthe art braking capacity for navigating today’s mining applications which contain steep continuous descents and sharp switchbacks. The continuous retarding capacity enhances the productivity of the vehicle operator, while eliminating the need for excessive mechanical braking effort.

Fully Hydraulic Dry Disc Brakes

The 730E comes standard with four-wheel hydraulically actuated dry disc service brakes. By using a fully hydraulic braking system, the formation of water and sediments - typical in air actuated braking systems - is no longer present. This prevents contamination, freezing and corrosion from affecting service brake component life.

GEB35 with Combo Brake

The GEB35 is a proven wheelmotor design based on the GEB25 and 788. It has a standard gear ratio of 30.8:1 and is designed for 12% equivalent grades.

Hydropneumatic Suspension

Hydrair II® is a suspension system that utilizes four nitrogen-over-oil cylinders. This suspension system is designed to maximize machine productivity by providing the operator with a smooth and comfortable ride. By absorbing shocks to the chassis during operation, Hydrair II® contributes to the durability of the machine’s frame and components.

IGBT AC Electric Drive System

Invertex II® AC control system offers independent control of the rear wheel motors, which in turn provides outstanding traction-ability during wet and slippery conditions, thus improving tire wear and operator confidence.
The air cooled Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT)inverter system technology provides the highest available reliability. The IGBT inverter is more compact and much simpler than the design of its predecessor, the Gate Turn Off (GTO) inverter, which improves serviceability and routine maintenance.

Tight Turning Radius

By using double acting hydraulic steering cylinders with a six point articulation linkage,the power steering system provides steering control with minimal operator effort. The turning radius is 13.6 m44' 6", which provides excellent maneuverability for tight loading and dumping conditions. The steering accumulators comply with ISO-5010 standards.

Traction - Spin-Slide - Control

During slippery events caused by inclement weather conditions and/or application severity, the wheel Spin-Slide technology will detect and correct any wheel spin control events. Spin-Slide Control operates automatically and independently of the service brakes. During propulsion, "wheel slip control” reduces non-productive wheel spin in low traction conditions. During retarding, "wheel slide control” prevents wheel lockup and subsequent sliding.
