The Sandvik TH680 is a side-tipping, 80-tonne truck for horizontal underground hauling. Thanks to its unique multi-axle design, it is able to operate in much smaller drifts than conventional trucks with a similar payload capacity. This means that less development work and fewer trucks are needed when the TH680 is used.
Features and values
