The PMKM 8030 has been designed for underground mining and especially for narrow conditions. It is again featuring one of the most compact and powerful machines in its class. Particular attention to its development was paid to high productivity – by means of a compact design and high tonnage, state-of-the-art and high-performance components, short cycle times, and easy maintenance – all combined with the PAUS characteristics of a mine-proven and tough machine design for durable use at challenging underground conditions.

Highlights of PAUS dump truck series also remain with the design of PMKM 8030 are the rotating driver’s seat for long distances of driving backwards at high speeds (bidirectional) and the spacious and now again more comfortable driver´s cab.

Whereas the well-established sister machine type PMKM 8010 is a machine with less width at increased length and height the new PMKM 8030 comes up with a broader, shorter, and narrow design at a reduced loading height and with improved driving characteristics due to the lowered center of gravity, bigger tires and new axles with an integrated oscillation.
With a payload of 16.000 kg, the machine has a 8m³ dump box.

As mines are getting deeper and deeper and the dump trucks have to drive longer and steeper ramps, the PMKM 8030 can be now equipped with a choice of different Cummins and Caterpillar diesel engines at different exhaust stages powered with up to 190 kW. The machine is also available with latest exhaust stage EU Stage V / Tier 4f – e.g. for use as CE certified machine for the use within EU.

With the more powerful driveline and the increased performance at reduced lifting and tipping times the overall cycle time, has been reduced significantly.
The standard configuration and improved cooling concept are ready for operation at ambient temperature range from -20°C to +50°C.

The machine is equipped with PAUS standard safety package for underground mining machines e.g. includes SAHR brakes, a ROPS/FOPS cabin, enhanced LED lighting etc.
Further state-of-the-art safety equipment like a button for brake test, 3-point seat belt, seat belt and/or seat contact monitoring, different HRD onboard fire extinguishing systems, bird’s-eye-view camera, tire pressure monitoring, gas monitoring system and others are available as an option.

Features like a weighing system, IoT interface(s) for data communication (“PAUS CONNECT“), an “arctic package“ to operate at lower temperatures, dump boxes for high and low-density materials, a rear flap, and many more are also available as optional equipment for this machine. The selection of new components, the arrangement, and a variety of options available along with the machine unveil the new PMKM 8030 as a more durable, more efficient, and more easy to maintain machine for first and foremost economic use in underground mining.
