The Sandvik LH517i SD Bucket is a severe-duty, high-capacity bucket engineered specifically for the LH517i underground LHD (Load Haul Dump). Built with a premium combination of BIS400, NM400, and Q690 high-strength steels, it delivers exceptional wear life and structural integrity in the most demanding hard rock mining conditions.
| Material | Property | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| BIS400 (Bisalloy 400) | High hardness (400 HB), excellent abrasion resistance | Ideal for liner plates and high-wear areas |
| NM400 (Wear Resistant 400) | Through-hardened, impact-resistant steel | Prolongs bucket life in abrasive ore handling |
| Q690 (Structural Steel, 690 MPa yield) | High strength, weldable, tough | Provides core structural integrity for heavy loads |
Combined use of these materials results in a lightweight yet extremely durable bucket, maximizing payload while resisting wear and tear.
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| 7.6m³ Capacity | High productivity per load cycle, reduced number of passes |
| Severe Duty (SD) Design | Reinforced back, bottom, and wear strips for extreme underground applications |
| Wear Plate Liners (BIS400/NM400) | Easily replaceable; protects the parent structure from abrasion |
| Q690 Structural Frame | High strength-to-weight ratio for longer reach and stability |
| Optimized Profile | Improved bucket fill factor and material retention |
| Heel & Side Wear Protection | Standard integrated wear bars and side shrouds |
Hard rock underground mining (gold, copper, nickel, zinc)
Tunnel excavation and mucking
Heavy ore pass loading
Mine development and production loading

Lifting: Weight of 6,000 kg requires certified overhead crane or forklift with adequate capacity.
GET Inspection: Regularly check tooth wear and adapter condition for optimal penetration.
Liner Replacement: Replace BIS400/NM400 wear liners when worn to protect structural steel.
Welding Repair: Use low-hydrogen welding procedures compatible with Q690/NM400.
Longer Service Life: Premium wear plate materials significantly extend bucket life in abrasive underground conditions.
Higher Productivity: 7.6m³ capacity allows fewer passes to fill haul trucks or ore passes.
Lower Operating Cost: Reduced downtime for bucket repairs and liner changes.
OEM Compatibility: Direct replacement for Sandvik OEM bucket, no modification required.
