Diesel locomotive for mines type UIK-GLS150-A is intended to work in underground workings of mining plants exposed to methane and coal dust explosion hazard. This device is a track locomotive with diesel drive designed for horizontal track transport of personnel and material in mines with maximum track inclination of 70 ‰.

The locomotive consists of a body which is a welded construction composed of pre-shaped plates with two independent operator cabins attached to them with screws. The diesel engine of the locomotive with hydrostatic drive transmission is placed on machine body between the operator cabins. The device is driven by a six cylinder vertical high-pressure engine John Deere type 6068 TFM75 with electronic injector pump, equipped with a separate exhaust gas cooling system (dry). Drive transfer to the gears is realised by means of a hydraulic pump and two Rexroth independent hydraulic motors. The device is also equipped with an electronic-hydraulic system responsible for equalising rotational speeds of drive axes. 

Additionally, a safety system is used in the device which considerably increases safe operation of the device. Its main task is to monitor all parameters of the locomotive operation and their archivization.
