Sandvik introduced the Toro TH663i I Gen2 underground truck, the latest evolution of its proven 63-metric-ton (mt) haulage platform. Developed through continuous improvement, operational experience and customer insight, the updated truck incorporates more than 30 enhancements designed to improve reliability, productivity, operator safety and total cost of ownership in underground mining operations.
Performance data from underground operations shows measurable improvements compared with earlier Toro® TH663i models. Reference data indicates 25% shorter mean time to repair (MTTR) and 12% longer mean time between failures (MTBF), resulting in more than 170 additional operating hours per truck annually.
“Customers are looking for predictable performance they can rely on every shift,” said Esa-Pekka Kantola, product line manager, load and haul at Sandvik Mining. “With the Toro TH663i I Gen2, we have used years of underground operating experience to refine a proven platform and help customers improve productivity, increase availability and control their cost per ton.”
Rather than a complete redesign, the I Gen2 builds on years of operating experience with the TH663i platform in underground mines around the world, incorporating accumulated improvements into the latest generation of the truck.
The more than 30 updates span multiple areas of the machine, including engine, electrical, powertrain, software and structural systems. Together, the updates are designed to increase availability, enhance durability, improve serviceability and support lower cost per ton and total cost of ownership throughout the equipment lifecycle.
