Sandvik is celebrating the 50th birthday of its renowned Toro\u2122 family of loaders and trucks for underground hard rock mines. This name has been recognized by Sandvik customers for decades, and still today, the bull figure and the word Toro\u2122 symbolize both a rich history and a promising future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first of its kind, Toro\u2122 100DH, 1971
\n<\/strong>The history of the bull at Sandvik dates to September 3, 1971, when the first Toro\u2122 loader started its engine in Tampere, Finland (Figure 1). It was a Toro\u2122 100DH loader with a \u2018massive\u2019 1.5-tonne carry capacity. Later on, the design and production facilities moved to Turku, which became the home base of the Toro\u2122 family.<\/p>\n

During the years, Toro\u2122 has become the symbol of strength and reliability for Sandvik underground loaders and trucks throughout the world. In 2020, after 15 years of dormancy, Sandvik reintroduced this old family name again, as it had never disappeared from the thoughts of the company and many of its customers, even though it had not been actively used for a period of time.<\/p>\n

Safer. Stronger. Smarter.<\/strong>
\nToday, the Toro\u2122 family is characterized by design principles of safety, strength and intelligence. Safety is everything for those who work underground with heavy equipment, and it is the number one driver in the product design. In addition to safety of operators and maintenance personnel, the design needs to be sound from a sustainability perspective. Strength and power are at the very heart of the old Toro\u2122 heritage and robust design, reliability and performance in the most demanding conditions are also the foundations for the current offering. The third element, being smart, evolves quickly. Sophisticated digital systems such as Sandvik\u2019s AutoMine\u00ae and OptiMine\u00ae offerings are fine examples of intelligence, but smart solutions are needed all over the equipment, including operator ergonomics, easy maintenance access and component layouts.<\/p>\n

The newest member Toro\u2122 LH515i<\/strong>
\nOn August 31, 2021, Sandvik introduced a new i-series loader, Toro\u2122 LH515i, which was launched in Canada (Figure 2). With its 15-tonne capacity, compact size, intelligence and smart maintenance solutions it is expected to meet customer demands for productivity, efficiency and digital solutions.<\/p>\n

The Toro\u2122 family includes loaders and trucks in all size classes and for all market areas. The key technologies are diesel powered loaders and trucks, cable electric loaders, and, as a newcomer, a battery assisted loader hat is making an entry on the marketplace very soon.<\/p>\n
