Scoops are true utility workhorses for underground coal operations. They handle multiple tasks, including maintenance, resupply, cleanup and rock dusting. To help get the job done, the redesigned battery-powered Joy 02ESV scoops offer excellent operator comfort and robust time between charges.
OptiDrive technology was developed specifically for these next-generation 240-volt machines, and Komatsu said it expects it to improve reliability, boost operator productivity, improve motor performance and help reduce maintenance costs. OptiDrive is easier to maintain and troubleshoot because it has fewer cable runs.
Designed to help minimize downtime, these scoops have new electronics that eliminate switches, and the color display provides real-time operational and fault information to keep operators informed. Additional drive input modules allow the OptiDrive control system to interface with third-party proximity detection systems.
The Model 02ESV36 has a recommended seam height of 36 in. to 63 in. (91 to 160 cm), a 120-ft3 (3 m3) bucket, and a maximum payload of 20 tons (18 metric tons).The Model 02ESV56 has a recommended seam height of 56 in. to 83 in. (142 to 211 cm) a 140-ft3 (4 m3) bucket and a 30.4-ton (27.5 mt) maximum payload. The Model 02ESV60 has a recommended seam height of 56 to 83 in. (142 to 211 cm), a 165-ft3 (5 m3) bucket and a 31.5-ton (28.7 mt) maximum payload.
With less heat and noise compared to diesel power, the 240-volt battery power contributes to improved working conditions. These three Joy scoops also have improved motor efficiency for increased motor life and enhanced tramming, while improved ergonomics help keep operators more comfortable.
To provide increased power and reduced downtime in the most demanding applications, the scoops are equipped with robust Dana drive axles configured specifically for the application.
For durability and longevity, the center section has been redesigned and includes heavy-duty pivot bearings and pins. The frame is rigorously engineered for reliability and transporting heavy payloads.
