Sleipner :: Product

Sleipner reduces maintenance cost of heavy loading equipment.
In the meantime the whole mine operation becomes more productive.
The Sleipner principle is simple, safe and reliable. In addition to Sleipner, no other investment will be necessary. The excavators used with it do not have to undergo any technical changes.
With Sleipner the transport of an excavator is 4 to 5 times faster than driving on tracks. Transport times will be reduced by approximately 80%. This results in more productive working hours.
Thanks to flexible transports, loading can be planned more efficiently. At the same time the utilization rate of equipment increases.
Highest flexibility will be achieved when there is a Sleipner for each excavator.

Service and maintenance can be done at the workshop, as moving the equipment is no more an issue.
Due to no vibration, as caused by driving on tracks, maintenance cost is lowered further.
Driving on tracks causes even more undercarriage and entire machine wear than the actual loading. Using Sleipner, the undercarriage life time will be doubled or even tripled.

All operations are done mechanically. Operators stay in their cabins all the time.
During transport, tracks are just barely off the ground. The transport can be interrupted anytime by the operator, just lowering the tracks onto the ground.
Operator's working conditions improve as driving on wheels causes less vibration.
Sleipner is equipped with automatic safety brakes. They are adjusted for slopes up to 15% and keep the Sleipners in place when parked in uneven areas.
Sleipner works on any weather condition.
Sleipner is easy to operate. To ensure safe handling and productive use operator training is necessary.
The first Sleipners are still in operation, after 16 years of use.
