Since its launch in 2020, during the global COVID-19 pandemic, Aramine says its L350D mining loader has proven its efficiency and resilience in various mining operations worldwide. Setting itself apart as the only 3.5 t loader in the market with a comfortable cabin positioned at the centre of the machine, the L350D quickly gained recognition within the industry.
Initially marketed as a 3.5 t loader while awaiting the necessary certifications, the L350D was designed with robust hydraulic systems, chassis, and transmission, rigorously tested to ensure its capacity to handle a 4 t load in its bucket.
Today, with over 60,000 cumulative operating hours in just three years, 20 machines in operation and six more in the process of delivery and start-up, Aramine states: “We have gained invaluable experience that confirms the exceptional durability of the L350D. The machine with the record for operating hours has over 11,555 hours on the clock and remains entirely in its original condition.”
After these years of real-world testing and obtaining the necessary certifications, Aramine says it is now proud to present the new version of the L350D. “We can now ensure a 4 t transport capacity, further strengthening our position as a market leader.”
Key enhancements include an upgraded cabin. For increased visibility in both directions, the cabin has been raised, providing an even safer and more ergonomic working environment. There is also an optional low-profile version with a cabin height of less than 2 m to meet the requirements of mines with limited spaces. Mindful of social and environmental responsibility, Aramine has also transitioned to a more fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly engine as standard, “perfectly matched to the machine’s power needs.” The L350D is now available in a Tier 3 or Tier V versions, depending on the machine’s ultimate destination.
“The L350D mining loader remains a benchmark in the industry, combining power and durability, and we are confident that this new version will further solidify its success in the global market,” said Marc Melkonian, Aramine Co-President.
The much-anticipated battery-powered version, the L440B, has its final version currently in production after its prototype passed all the required tests. Aramine adds that a future announcement is set to provide further details on this “revolutionary gem in the mining world.”
