Sleipner dollies & trailers

Sleipner’s ingenious, robust and mine-proven mobility solutions help you increase productivity and reduce costs. With Sleipner dollies and trailers, you can achieve up to an 85% reduction in transport times for tracked equipment compared to driving on tracks. Sleipner dollies and off-road trailers also significantly reduce the maintenance costs of the tracked equipment by doubling or even tripling the lifespan of the undercarriage.

Easy relocation means you can take your tracked equipment to the workshop for service and maintenance, where the tools and spares are available in a safe working environment. Workshop maintenance is at least 20% faster than in the pit, which results in reduced downtime and maintenance labour hours. All this improves the utilisation and availability rates of your tracked equipment.

Are you looking for increased productivity and cost savings combined with better mobility? Sleipner solutions solve all of these challenges in the mining industry. The efficient use of Sleipner products can increase your productivity by between 12% and 20%.

Sleipner dollies and lowboy trailers revolutionize the mobility of your existing drills, excavators and dozers.

An hour of transport instead of eight hours of tramming. Workshop conditions instead of field repairs. Less undercarriage repairs. Better health records. This is what wheels of change can do – it’s like having extra machines and people working for you.

As mines open in increasingly challenging locations, the need for improved productivity, better mobility and lower costs becomes more pressing. Sleipner dollies and trailers help you solve all these issues.

Tracks are good for excavating, but not so good for moving. A typical excavator spends 7 to 30% of its working days tramming – time that can be reduced up to 85% by using Sleipner E Series dollies. Designed for safe and fast set up and unloading, Sleipner E Series dollies are a cost-effective, time-saving alternative to lowbed trailers. Get on wheels, hitch a ride on a truck and get there faster, more smoothly and more safely – and also with less undercarriage damage and fewer greenhouse emissions.
  • READY TO GO
    Sleipner E Series dollies are designed for excavators weighing 23 to 570 metric tonnes. With their quick and easy implementation, you can start to enjoy the wheeled advantage within days! There are several models available to match the weight and dimensions of your machinery.
  • MORE WORKING HOURS
    Instead of three hours traveling on tracks, your excavator can be transported in half an hour on Sleipner E Series dollies. The two and half hours you save can then be used for productive work, allowing the loading to be planned more efficiently. The improved utilisation and availability rates can increase your excavator’s productivity by 12 to 20%.
  • LONGER UNDERCARRIAGE LIFE
    Undercarriage parts and maintenance can account for up to one-third of an excavator’s life cycle costs (LCC). With Sleipner E Series dollies, transporting the excavator no longer stresses the undercarriage. Depending on the operating conditions and the size of the excavator, this can double or even triple the undercarriage’s service life. This translates to LCC savings of 10 to 18%.
  • FEWER ON-SITE REPAIRS
    Excavators require regular service and maintenance, and the best place to work on excavators – in terms of access to the right tools and spares, as well as a safer working environment – is a designated workshop rather than in the field. The safe and easy relocation of excavators makes it economical to transport them to a workshop for maintenance, which is at least 20% faster than on-site repairs. This reduces excavator downtime and maintenance hours.
When it comes to heavy machinery, mobility equates to flexibility, savings and efficiency. By putting your drill rigs, bulldozers and other heavy tracked equipment on wheels, you can get more done with fewer machines. In terms of mobility, safety, agility and rugged reliability, you can’t beat the Sleipner DB Series. More than traditional lowbed trailers, they offer you fast loading, agile transporting, reliable braking and sufficient ground clearance – maximising productivity and minimising maintenance costs.

Having your bulldozers, drilling machines, excavators and other equipment on tracks has many advantages – but speed is not one of them. With a rugged but agile Sleipner DB Series lowbed trailer designed for your needs, you can revolutionise the mobility of your fleet, getting more done with fewer machines and dramatically reducing maintenance costs.

The Sleipner DB Series features two heavy-duty trailer models for moving tracked equipment weighing up to 130 metric tonnes at speeds of up to 15–30 km/h (9-18 mph). They can even be used for wheeled equipment – their versatility is limited only by your imagination and the maximum allowed payload. Their tilting bed enables easy loading and unloading, their small turning radius provides agility in crammed quarries, and their high ground clearance makes them suitable for a variety of terrains. What’s more, their reliable braking ensures safety.

With enhanced mobility and less time spent tramming, you get more working hours out of your equipment. You also reduce the need for maintenance and improve the flexibility of your entire operations. That’s the power of mobility!
  • GET MORE OUT OF YOUR FLEET
    Typically, drills and dozers use up to 15% of their working hours travelling on tracks. The Sleipner DB Series can save travelling time by up to 85%. Instead of spending several hours tramming on tracks, the transportation can be typically done in less than an hour with a Sleipner DB Series lowbed trailer, saving time for productive work. Getting more effective working hours from the same fleet means increased production. Alternatively, you can get the same amount of total effective working hours from a smaller fleet. That means lower maintenance costs and a smaller equipment investment budget. Either way, the Sleipner DB Series will improve the efficiency of your fleet and maximise the benefits.
  • INEXPENSIVE UPTIME
    Tramming is stressful for the undercarriage. By using the Sleipner DB Series, the undercarriages of your drills can last up to 2–3 times longer. What’s more, the excessive bulldozer undercarriage wear caused by travelling in 3rd gear is also reduced.

    Improved mobility means your drills and the bulldozers can be taken to the workshop for service and maintenance instead of time-consuming and unsafe repairs in the field. With all the tools and spares available in a safe working environment, both unplanned and planned maintenance can be performed with less downtime.

    After maintenance, the higher mobility enables the equipment to be transported rapidly to the next working location according to your production needs. As a result, the Sleipner DB Series has a hugely positive impact on the overall life cycle costs of your drills and bulldozers, saving at least 20% of the maintenance labour hours.
  • EFFECTIVE FLEET USE
    With the Sleipner DB Series you get more flexibility for your daily production planning. Drills and dozers can be relocated whenever needed, even in the middle of the shift. Even though the mobility of the drill fleet doesn’t restrict planning, the blasting sequences can be planned without compromises. Dozers can be relocated according to your production needs. Areas with no need for full–time dozer service availability can be operated with shared resources.
  • OPERATE IN ANY TERRAIN
    The Sleipner DB Series can be manoeuvred in previously unimaginable on-site conditions, including upward slopes, descents and tight corners. The big wheels provide excellent ground clearance, enabling Sleipner DB Series lowboy trailers to be used in rough terrain. Using an articulated dump truck (ADT) as a towing vehicle provides unparalleled agility. ADT–powered hydraulics tilt the bed, enabling the drill or dozer to be driven onto the DB Series trailer in just a few minutes. Uphill and downhill performance meet mining industry standards with a full load.
