LHD
Vehicle used in underground mining based in Doncaster1
LHD (load, haul, dump) loaders are similar to conventional front end loaders but developed for the toughest of hard rock mining applications, keeping overall production economy, safety, and reliability in consideration. They are extremely rugged, highly maneuverable, and exceptionally productive. More than 75% of the world's underground metal mines use LHD for handling the muck of their excavations.2 It ceased to exist in 1996.1 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
