HNYT EQUIPMENT has successfully dispatched seven complete sets of dual-cab, 8-ton explosion-proof battery mining locomotives to a major underground coal mine — a shipment designed to boost safety, productivity and continuous haulage in the most demanding mine environments. Each of the seven CTY8/6GB battery locomotives leaves the factory in a two-battery one-charger configuration, ready to operate as soon as it reaches the coal face.
Every delivered set is a fully integrated system: one CTY8/6GB 8-ton explosion-proof battery mining locomotive, two high-capacity 140 V / 440 Ah battery packs, and one explosion-proof charger. The dual-cab design allows the operator to drive safely in both directions without turning the machine, which significantly speeds up shuttle-car haulage in narrow underground roadways. With the two-battery one-charger setup, mines can swap a drained battery for a fresh one in minutes — eliminating idle time and enabling true 24/7 underground transport.
The CTY8/6GB 8-ton anti explosive battery mining locomotive is purpose-built as a flameproof and explosion-proof mining locomotive, meeting the strict safety requirements for operations in methane-laden coal mines. The explosion-proof enclosure, IGBT speed control, and certified pneumatic braking system work together to minimise spark risks, control speed smoothly, and deliver reliable stopping power even on damp, uneven track. This makes the 8-ton battery locomotive a trusted choice for mines where safety cannot be compromised.
Despite its compact 8-tonne adhesive weight, the locomotive delivers impressive hauling power. On nearly level underground haulage roads with a gradient of less than 3‰, a single 8-ton anti explosive battery mining locomotive can reliably pull 60 to 70 tonnes. The numbers speak for themselves
Traction force | 19.62 kN |
Speed | 7.5 km/h |
Motor power | 2 * 15 kW |
Minimum turning radius | 10 m |
Dimensions | 4480 * 1050 * 1600 mm |
Track gauge | 600 mm |
Wheel diameter | 680 mm |
Speed control | IGBT |
Braking | Air brake |
Thanks to this robust parameter set, the 8-ton battery locomotive moves more material per shift while maintaining the gentle, steady pace required for underground coal transport.
Underground mining transport demand simplicity, toughness, and compliance. The CTY8/6GB explosion-proof battery locomotive answers all three. Its dual-cab operation, modular two-battery one-charger configuration, and proven 60–70-tonne load capacity on flat and low-gradient track make it an off-the-shelf workhorse. It fits seamlessly into existing 600 mm gauge networks, requires minimal infrastructure changes, and supports increasingly strict mine decarbonisation goals with zero-emission battery power.
As an advance manufacturer of mining locomotive locomotives, HNYT EQUIPMENT delivers turnkey solutions from single units to full-fleet dispatches. This latest shipment of seven 8-ton explosion-proof battery mining locomotives underlines our commitment to on-time delivery, mine-specific engineering, and international safety standards.
