Making mining safe

Our main focus is safety and bolt installation quality. Operator safety and comfort are ensured with the standard and optional features of our Boltec rigs. Mechanized bolting typically holds a much higher installation quality and consistency than manual or semi-mechanized installation. Bolt angles, bolt spacing, controlled grout ratios, installation pressures, and bolt numbers are just some of the data that can be collected or recorded.

Easy maintenance and service

The rock bolting rigs from Epiroc have an open service architecture. The four-wheel drive carrier of the Boltec E is the same as on the Simba M/E and the Boomer M/E rigs, resulting in easy and effective service and maintenance.
