SELF PROPELLED VEHICLE

摘要

The invention concerns a self-propelled vehicle (10) for use in the mining, industrial and/or agricultural industry. The vehicle is typically a hauler, grader or container handling vehicle and includes a modular chassis (20) comprising at least a forward section (22) and a rear section (24) which are detachably connectable to each other by means of complementary connecting means (30) located on each section. The vehicle (10) has a cabin (40) which has a roll-over protection structure and a fall on protection structure. Ideally the cabin (40) also includes an internal module (51) defining a seating arrangement which has at least one seat for an operator. The cabin (40) is also detachably connectable to the chassis (20) so that it is replaceable as a single unit. The vehicle (10) further includes a pneumatic gearshift and pneumatic fail-safe brake system which meet the safety requirements for operation underground in a mine.
