Common questions about utility vehicles

What applications are underground utility vehicles used for?

Underground utility vehicles are used across a wide range of applications that support safe, productive, and continuous mining operations. These vehicles transport personnel, deliver materials, provide for explosives charging, assist in construction, and enhance support for production equipment including maintenance and vehicle refueling.

 

What are common safety features on underground utility vehicles?

Underground utility vehicles are built with comprehensive safety systems to protect operators, passengers, and nearby workers in tough mining conditions. Key safety features for our utility vehicles include:

  •  FOPS and ROPS certified protection.
  • Advanced failsafe braking systems, including Spring Applied Hydraulic Release (SAHR) brakes with Neutral Brake Apply (NBA) and Door Open Brake Applied (DOBA).
  • Proximity detection integration and collision avoidance technologies.
  • Platform safety systems, such as anti-crush systems and ground-level lockouts.
  • Crane safety features preventing hazardous lifting over operator stations.

 

What is the difference between purpose-built and flexible solution utility vehicles?

Underground utility vehicles come in two main configurations: purpose-built and flexible solutions. Purpose-built utility vehicles are engineered for specific applications, such as personnel transport, explosives charging, or rock scaling. These vehicles deliver maximum performance and productivity for this specific task. Flexible solution or multi-purpose utility vehicles are designed to perform multiple applications using interchangeable cassettes. Carried by a universal vehicle, you can switch between various operational tasks, increasing utilization and flexibility throughout the mine. 

How can utility vehicles improve productivity in underground mining?

Utility vehicles can improve operational productivity by supporting core operations with logistics, underground construction and maintenance, keeping operations running smoothly. Our utility vehicles have strong engines up to 150 kW, making for reliable operation on steep gradients and in tough underground environments. Thanks to the high load capacity of up to 10 000 kg, these vehicles can reduce the number of trips required.

How do underground utility vehicles support the underground mining cycle?

Utility vehicles are essential at every stage of the mining cycle to ensure efficient underground operations. Our complete range of underground utility vehicles includes units for personnel transport, construction and maintenance support, refueling and lubrication, and dust suppression. We also offer dedicated vehicles for rock scaling and explosives charging, and concrete transport units providing concrete for shotcreting and construction tasks.
