Pickles: The Wirth Roadheader T3.20

15/03/2018

Pickles

Pickles is Australia’s leading asset remarketing organisation with thousands of assets available across vehicles, industrial, salvage and general goods. We’re currently taking EOIs for a Wirth roadheader T3.20



The Wirth Roadheader T3.20 is a powerful roadheader, specifically designed for mining and tunnelling in medium to hard rock, with a strength of up to 150 MPa, in conjunction with the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM). The telescope boom allows for easy sumping into the cutting face and offers high flexibility during the cutting cycle. The Wirth T3.20, with a cutting height of 7.9m, a cutting width of 9.5m and the capacity to operate from a single central position without moving is unmatched. Combined with its maneuverability and high tramming speed, this machine has proven capable of sustained high performance. It also permits a further 1.3m to be cut below the level of the crawler tracks. The telescopic boom and radio remote control are standard features.

The asset is located in Sydney, Australia. Pickles is running an EOI ending Thursday 12 April 2018.

Auxiliary equipment:

  • Belt conveyor
  • Front support cylinders for easier maintenance of crawler tracks
  • Operator’s cabin FOPS certified
  • Fire suppression system
  • Dust suppression spraying system installed behind the cutter head
  • Separate diesel-hydraulic power pack for tramming without an external power source
  • Cable reel incl. 100m power cable
  • Soft starter for cutter head drive
The machine and all ancillary equipment are designed and fabricated in accordance with Australian safety standards and regulations, codes, laws, acts or any other relevant document according to EN12111.
