The LT-70 hard rock loader is a diesel-powered heavy-duty machine intended for the most demanding mine environments. The LT-70 is only 900 mm wide so it is perfect for small narrow-vein applications where maneuvering space is limited. The LT-70, like all Joy loaders, is designed specifically for ease of use and maintenance, with simple operation gauges and a rugged long-life structure, providing the lowest possible total costs of operation including low capital costs.

Designed for safe operation and maintenance

The LT-70 includes multiple features that are designed to maximize safety for both the operator and the maintenance personnel:

• ROPS/FOPS canopy provides protection from falling rock or rollovers
• Fail-safe braking system features a spring-applied braking system that activates when low hydraulic oil pressure or electrical failures are detected
• Operation interlocks prevent accidental machine activation
• Three-point mounting and anti-slip steps minimize slips and falls
• Hot component isolation to prevent burns

Designed for reliability

The LT-70 has been designed for reliability and long component life, including the following features:
