The revolutionary Sleipner DB-series will improve your on-site mobility for tracked equipment. Sleipner DB-series will offer you fast loading, agile transporting, reliable braking and sufficient ground clearance. A totally new level of performance!
Typically drills and dozers use up to 15% of their working hours travelling on tracks. Sleipner transport solution can save drills’ and bulldozers’ travelling time up to 85%.Instead of spending several hours travelling on tracks, the transportation can be done in less than an hour with Sleipner DB-series. This saved time can be used for productive work. Getting more effective working hours with the same fleet means increasing production. On the other hand, you're able to get the same amount of total effective working hours with a smaller fleet. That means smaller maintenance costs and equipment purchase budget. Either way, the Sleipner transport solution will improve the efficiency of your fleet and maximize the benefits.
With Sleipner transport solution utilization, the drills’ undercarriages last 2-3 times longer and the excessive undercarriage wear of bulldozers while traveling on tracks in 3rd gear is diminished. The drills and the bulldozers can be taken to the workshop for service and maintenance instead of repairs in the pit. Workshop maintenance is much faster. When all the tools and spares are available in a safe working environment, both unplanned maintenance work and planned maintenance are performed quickly.
Thanks to improved service times, the down time of the machines is reduced. After maintenance, the equipment is dropped to the next working location according to production needs. As a result, the Sleipner DB-series has a huge positive impact on the drills’ and bulldozers’ overall life cycle costs. It saves at least 20% of the maintenance labor hours.
With Sleipner DB-series you get more flexibility to your daily production planning. Drills and dozers are relocated whenever needed, even in the middle of the shift. Even though the drill fleet mobility doesn’t set restrictions on the planning, the blasting sequences can be planned without compromises. Dozers can be relocated according to production needs. Areas with no need for fulltime dozer service availability are operated with shared resources.
The Sleipner transport solution operates in regular on-site conditions; including upward slopes, descents and tight corners that have been previously unimaginable. Big wheels provide ground clearance enabling the Sleipner transport solution to be used in rough terrain. Using an articulated dump truck as a towing vehicle provides unparalleled agility. ADT powered hydraulics tilt the bed and a drill or a dozer can be driven on to the Sleipner transport solution in a few minutes. Uphill and downhill performance capable to meet the mining industry standards with full load.
Tilting the load bed makes the loading and unloading processes safe. Sleipner DB-series models have reliable braking system. Operator can control all functions of the control system through an on-board display unit. The wheel gauge of the DB-series offers incomparable safety. There's no risk of overturning even if the wheels drop off the road. Rails and stairs ensure operators a safe passage to the cabin.
”With the same maintenance budget, we can now serve a larger dozer fleet, thanks to the new mobility possibilities of the Sleipner DB-series. All maintenance actions are done in the workshop. This has been saving 20% of labor hours and has improved maintenance safety. We can load and unload wherever needed, and we can even relocate the equipment to new dozing sites after the service. The use of Sleipner DB-series is safe and easy, as one man can handle the whole loading process.”
* May require removal of handrails, depends on the configuration.
Notice: Some equipment may have some optional extras, like walkways or cable drums what can set limitations for physical suitability or operating weight. In order to ensure the equipment suitability to DB-series detailed fleet review is part of sales process.
• For DB80 Articulated Dump Trucks from the +40 tonnes weight class are suitable towing vehicles. Most popular ADT models are Cat 740, Volvo A40 and Bell B40.
• For DB130 Articulated Dump Trucks from the +45 tonnes weight class are suitable towing vehicles. Most popular ADT models are Cat 745, Volvo A45/A60 and Bell B45/B50.
• Yes, excavators up to 80 tonnes class can be transported also on Sleipner DB80
• Yes, excavators up to 120 tonnes class can be transported also on Sleipner DB130
Yes, it can carry rubber wheel equipment as well, like wheel dozers and wheel loaders.
Sub-stations, buckets, containers and pumps can be transported as well.
The whole concept is designed to work with Articulated Dump Truck (ADT).
ADT offers agility and good towing performance in all conditions where the trailer is planned to be used.
Rigid trucks, like Cat 777 are too big to suit DB-series towing.
The maximum allowed speed is 15 kmph when sleipner transport solution is loaded. If Sleipner transport solution is without load, the maximum allowed speed is 30kmph.
· For DB80 bed max width is 5560 mm and max leng this 8700 mm. The load center of gravity must be in front of the trailer tandem axle pivot point.
· For DB130 bed max width is 7050 mm and max length is 8700 mm. The load center of gravity must be in front of the trailer tandem axle pivot point
• See suitable fleet table
• Blast hole drill suitability needs to be checked on case-by-case basis due to drills’ service platforms which can make the drills wider
The excavators operator is always able to interrupt the transport first by lowering the tracks to touch the road, and then lowering them to the maximum by lifting the boom up.
Yes. The Sleipner DB-series bed has multiple lashing
points for load binding. All lashing points are certified.
An optional integrated winch is available for DB-series.
The hydraulic winch is designed for towing broken dozers or drills onto the trailer (not suitable for rescuing bogged dozers).
Yes. Sleipner DB80 and DB130 have patented drag brake systems and it is fail-safe.
Both models have independent emergency brake function.
All DB-series models have secondary dry disc brakes.
The Sleipner DB-series wheels are located outside of the load and the center of gravity is very low.
No risk of overturning, not even in a situation where a wheel drops off from the bench.
A typical application trailer is used on daily basis for moving equipment. A trailer is mated permanently with a prime mover and there is no quick attachment available.
Yes. The Sleipner DB-series is disassembled in the factory for shipping and transporting purposes.
The assembly is done on-site with Sleipner representatives supervising the assembly.
The target of the commissioning is to assure that all system components are designed, installed, tested, operated, and maintained according to its design objectives or specifications. The supplier’s or dealer’s commissioning specialists will be in charge of the commissioning.
Assembly and commissioning takes typically around 5-7 days.
No. The drag brake doesn’t experience the fade effect even during long downhills. Heat energy during braking is transferred to the ground, auxiliary cooling is not needed.
The customer only needs to remove the truck bed and hoist cylinder. Other modifications are included in the on-site assembly and commissioning. New CAT and Volvo prime movers can be ordered without hoist cylinders and bed (bare chassis option).
Sleipner has the complete solution for moving tracked equipment, saving on maintenance costs and valuable time.
