Time-Tested & High Horsepower SH240-8 Crawler Excavator Crosses Jungle Mud, River and Debris Flow for Mountain Mining

The SH240-8 crawler excavator is well-known for time-tested quality and strong horsepower performance. In the remote tropical rainforest of South America, the excavator embarks on a tough journey to the deep mountain mining area, passing through complex road conditions including muddy jungle land, rushing river crossings and dangerous mudslides. It not only travels to the destination by itself, but also carries one month of fuel supplies, fully proving its superior trafficability, powerful power and reliable endurance in extreme complex terrain.

Extreme Challenge: Complicated Road Conditions in South American Rainforest

The tropical rainforest features dense vegetation, perennial muddy soft ground, unpredictable river water crossings and frequent mudslide sections. Ordinary construction machinery is easy to sink, stall or fail when traveling here. The route to the mountain mining site is rugged and changeable, putting forward extremely high requirements on the excavator’s power, climbing ability, anti-sinking performance and long-distance self-driving endurance.

In such harsh environments, the SH240-8 excavator successfully breaks through muddy roads, wades through river sections and crosses mudslide dangerous areas steadily, completing the self-driving trip to the deep mountain mining area and carrying sufficient fuel reserve for one month, solving the customer’s difficult transportation and material supply problems in remote mountainous areas.

Powerful Cummins Engine Delivers Strong Horsepower Support

The SH240-8 is equipped with Cummins 6BTAA5.9 inline turbocharged high-pressure common rail engine, with 6 cylinders and 6.7L displacement. It delivers rated power 133kW/2000rpm and maximum torque 708N·m/1500rpm. Sufficient power reserve and strong low-speed torque enable the excavator to maintain stable power output when walking in mud, wading through rivers and climbing steep slopes, never lacking power under heavy-load and complex working conditions.

Excellent Mud Passability & Anti-Sinking Performance

With an operating weight of 23200kg and a reasonable chassis design, the SH240-8 controls ground pressure at only 49.8kPa, effectively avoiding sinking on soft muddy rainforest ground. It adopts 600mm thickened track shoes, matched with 4460mm track length and complete undercarriage configuration of 9 track rollers and 2 carrier rollers on each side. The wear-resistant and impact-resistant crawler structure adapts to rugged mountain roads and slippery muddy terrain perfectly.

Super Traction & Climbing Ability Adapt to Mountain Complex Roads

The SH240-8 is fitted with variable plunger travel motor, featuring maximum traction force up to 214kN and climbing capacity reaching 35°(70%). It can easily climb steep mountain slopes, cross rugged road surfaces and keep stable when passing mudslide sections. Two-speed traveling speed of 3.1km/h and 5.1km/h allows flexible speed adjustment according to jungle road conditions, ensuring safe and efficient passage.

Large Capacity Fuel Tank Meets Long-Endurance Demand

Equipped with a 330L large-capacity fuel tank and 250L hydraulic oil tank, the SH240-8 supports long-time continuous driving and long-cycle mining operation. It can independently carry one month of fuel supplies for mountain mining work, reducing the trouble of frequent fuel transportation in remote rainforest mountains and greatly improving construction continuity and operational efficiency.

High-Efficiency Hydraulic System & Strong Digging Capacity

The SH240-8 adopts variable plunger main pump with maximum working flow 2×224L/min. Reasonable matching of travel pressure 34.3MPa, swing pressure 25.5MPa and control pressure 3.9MPa ensures sensitive operation and smooth compound actions. The standard 1.2m³ bucket owns 146kN bucket digging force and 107kN arm digging force, meeting mining excavation, material handling and rainforest road repair work perfectly.

Summary: SH240-8 Reliable Partner for South America Mountain Mining

Time-tested quality, strong Cummins horsepower, excellent muddy terrain passability, outstanding climbing performance and large fuel reserve endurance make the SH240-8 crawler excavator perfectly adapt to South American tropical rainforest, river crossing, mudslide and deep mountain mining complex working conditions. It is the most trustworthy heavy-duty construction equipment for local mine development and remote infrastructure construction.
