Underground Mining Locomotive

Pay attention to the following points when using Electric Locomotive in winter:

1. Trolley Locomotive’s battery management: Low temperature will reduce battery performance and affect cruising range. Make sure the battery is stored in a sufficiently warm environment and charged in advance. Some electric locomotives may be equipped with battery heating systems to provide better performance in low-temperature environments.

2.Electric Locomotive Lubrication and Antifreeze: Use lubricants and antifreeze suitable for low temperatures. This helps ensure engine and mechanical components function properly in extremely cold weather and prevents cooling systems from freezing.

3. Braking system: When working in winter environments, the performance of the Narrow Gauge Locomotive braking system becomes even more critical. Make sure the brake system is in good condition, including checking the brake pads and brake fluid.

4. Car body cleaning: Regularly clean the snow and ice on the car body, especially the windows, lights, cameras, etc., to ensure good visibility.

5. Narrow Gauge Locomotive driving skills: Use more cautious driving skills on icy and snowy roads, including maintaining low speeds, avoiding sudden braking and acceleration, anticipating road conditions, and maintaining a safe distance.

6. Heating equipment: Prepare heating equipment inside the vehicle to ensure that the driver and passengers can stay comfortable in cold weather.

7. Emergency Tools: Carry some emergency tools in your vehicle, such as snow chains, snow shovels, emergency straw and cold weather items, in case of emergencies.

8. Prevent freezing: Ensure that key components of the vehicle, such as fuel tanks, cooling systems, etc., are not easily affected by freezing. Use coolant and fuel suitable for cold environments.

9. Regular inspections: Carry out regular winter inspections, including battery, engine, braking system and lights, etc. to ensure that the vehicle remains in good working condition in the cold environment.

These recommendations help ensure safe and reliable operation of mining electric locomotives during harsh winter weather conditions. Depending on specific geographical and meteorological conditions, additional measures may be required.
