Loader is a kind of earthwork construction machinery widely used in road, railway, construction, hydropower, port, mine and other construction projects. It is mainly used for shoveling bulk materials such as soil, sand, lime, coal, etc. , hard soil, etc. for light shoveling and digging operations. The mine loader is used in mines. In order to prevent the brake failure of the mine loader and cause personal injury and equipment damage, the following is the regulations that the mine loader driver must abide by.

The driver of the mining loader should deal with the sudden failure of the brakes of the vehicle calmly, use the terrain and other available conditions to slow down as much as possible, and drive the vehicle to a flat place to stop immediately.

If the brake fails when the mining loader goes uphill, it should be shifted to a low gear in a timely manner to maintain enough power to drive up the slope and stop. If you need to stop on a half-slope, you should keep the forward low gear and tighten the hand brake. If there is a slipping phenomenon, the rear of the car should face the coal wall, rock wall or the safe side, and turn on the headlights and emergency signal lights to cause the rear vehicles to stop. Notice.

When the downhill brake fails, the vehicle's own mechanism cannot be used to control the speed of the vehicle, or no suitable object can be found to reduce the speed of the vehicle, the driver should decisively use the rigid parts such as the side of the carriage to move towards the coal wall or rock on the side without cables and water pipes. The walls are moved closer together, friction and collision are used to increase resistance, so as to achieve the purpose of forced parking and escape, and reduce accident losses as much as possible.

To improve the management of mine loaders, drivers are strictly required to operate in accordance with operating procedures and auxiliary transportation management methods.

It is strictly forbidden for mining loaders to drive over the speed limit.

Strengthen transportation safety education and training, earnestly study accident cases, learn lessons from accidents, and sum up experience.

Predictive braking is carried out during operation, and the driver should step on the brakes before the vehicle goes uphill regardless of the situation. It can not only check the braking performance, but also gain time to control the speed of the vehicle when the brakes are found to be malfunctioning.

When running on a downhill section, use a low gear to walk.

The driver of the mining loader should maintain the brake system of the vehicle on time to prevent the brake failure of the vehicle due to the failure of the brake oil, the aging of the oil pipe, and the serious wear of the brake pads.

The above are the measures to prevent the brake failure of mining loaders. I hope the above content will be helpful to you.
