T ailored to deliver improved productivity, safety and fuel efficiency, the Metso Lokotrack LT400J, recently launched in South Africa, is a true large-scale mobile jaw crusher equipped with the latest technology features to ensure ease of use. Modern Mining caught up with Charl Marais, Sales Manager at Pilot Crushtec, and Wayne Warren, Africa Sales Manager at Pilot Crushtec to unpack some of the key features of the Lokotrack LT400J. The latest in the Metso jaw crusher series, the Lokotrack LT400J, is a powerful hybrid mobile jaw crusher designed for primary crushing of hard rock in mining and construction and producing recycled aggregates. The machine has been launched at an ideal time in the market, when there is strong demand for most commodities - precious metals (gold, platinum group metals and silver), battery metals including copper, manganese, nickel and lithium and critical minerals. The Lokotrack LT400J is an upgrade of the Lokotrack LT120E, renowned for its high-capacity
primary crushing, especially in environments with tough, abrasive materials. To date, Metso has sold more than 20 Lokotrack LT400J units to various countries, with 10 operating in hard rock applications. “The machine was first launched in 2024, with 16 units already sold to companies in Iceland, Finland, Belgium, Czech Republic, the UK, US, Romania and Germany. The recent launch to consumers in South Africa paves the way for those in Africa to have access to this powerful highly advanced product equipped with a new diesel- electric power line and enhanced usability to ensure maximum uptime,” says Marais. Improved productivity - a boon for miners The Lokotrack LT400J handles large feed sizes and delivers consistently high throughput while maintaining the mobility needed to operate close to the face, thereby reducing haul distances and operating costs.
