Description
The Komatsu 980E-5 is a 363-tonne class electric drive mining truck, built for hauling large volumes of material in mines and large open-pit operations. The designation 980E-5 refers to Komatsu’s 980E electric drive series, with -5 indicating the model generation.
It is powered by a Komatsu SSDA18V170, an 18-cylinder diesel engine with two-stage turbocharging, rated at 2,610 kW (3,500 hp) gross at 1,800 rpm. Nominal payload is 363 tonnes (400 short tons) and nominal gross vehicle weight is 627,999 kg, against an empty vehicle weight of 265,125 kg. The standard body holds 250 m³ (SAE 2:1 heaped) or 183 m³ struck, and top speed is 64 km/h. See the full product information from the supplier and all Komatsu dump trucks at Hesselberg.
The diesel engine drives a GTA39 alternator that feeds GDY108C wheel motors, controlled by the Invertex II AC system with IGBT inverters. Komatsu states that the system controls the rear wheel motors independently, giving good traction in wet and slippery conditions and improved tyre wear, and that the drive system delivers high torque for soft underfoot conditions. Traction control for wheel spin and wheel slide and cruise control are part of the system. The electric dynamic retarder provides 4,474 kW (6,000 hp) of braking capacity on long descents.
The body is a Komatsu-designed all-welded steel body with a flat floor and full canopy. It is matched to the application through Komatsu’s Body Worksheet process. The frame uses steel castings in high-stress areas, and the hydraulic system uses a single tank shared by steering, braking and hoisting. The service brakes are oil-cooled multiple-disc brakes on all four wheels with three independent hydraulic circuits, and Komatsu states that the system gives lower maintenance costs and higher reliability than dry disc brakes. The Hydrair II suspension is designed to give a smooth ride and protect the frame and components. The Payload Meter IV records data such as payload, cycle time and distance travelled, and the turning radius is 15.9 m.
The cab has an integral ROPS/FOPS Level 2 structure (ISO 3471 and 3449), air conditioning, a five-way adjustable air-suspension seat and a tilt and telescoping steering column. A touch-screen display in the cab gives access to setup, maintenance and troubleshooting. KOMTRAX Plus 2 is standard, and Komatsu states that the Eliminator oil filtration system reduces oil and filter changes by one third. Service points for lubrication, fluid filling and emergency shut-down are grouped at the front left. The KomVision all-around monitoring system and Komatsu Smart Rims are available as options.
If you are comparing with a smaller mining truck, the Komatsu 930E-5 has 2,014 kW (2,700 hp), a nominal payload of 290 tonnes and a 202 m³ body. The 980E-5 offers 363 tonnes of payload, a 250 m³ body and 6,000 hp of retarding capacity.
