Underground – Hard Rock Equipment

Underground mining requires special equipment to collect and transport the materials correctly. The vehicles workers use have specific attachments and components to help make operations smoother. When it’s time to upgrade your fleet, Blanchard Machinery Company is your go-to construction and mining equipment supplier.

Trust us to provide new, high-quality underground hard rock equipment throughout South Carolina.

What Is Underground Hard Rock Equipment?

Underground hard rock equipment consists of construction vehicles and machinery with mining capabilities that help workers complete their duties using quality haulage systems. Equipment for underground work often has specialty features, like engines that don’t produce emissions and tires or tracks that work on diverse terrains.

Your team’s underground hard rock equipment will keep them safe while performing their tasks.

Types of Underground Hard Rock Equipment

The mining industry relies on equipment to keep operations safe, productive and efficient. The types of equipment used during jobs depend on the specifications of the project, but some common options for underground hard rock equipment include:

  • Underground mining trucks: When the job involves transporting materials, an underground mining truck is the vehicle you use to safely and efficiently move the items. Underground mining trucks have robust bodies that can withstand the force and weight of materials.
  • Underground mining load haul dump (LHD) loaders: Loading materials using a machine is more efficient than completing the task by hand. The LHD loaders are integral parts of your underground fleet. They can adapt to most, if not all, working environments. The machines have a large bucket that allows the operator to collect more materials at once, increasing productivity and efficiency.

The equipment your team uses while working underground is crucial. Ensure your fleet is well-equipped with machines that can withstand the intensity of underground jobs.

Benefits of Underground Hard Rock Mining Equipment

Using the right underground hard rock equipment makes your job easier. The machines offer many benefits to projects and the workers completing them. Some benefits of new underground hard rock equipment include:

  • Ergonomic cab features: Keeping the operator comfortable ensures the work gets done correctly. Most underground hard rock equipment has cabs with ergonomic features that provide all-day comfort as the operator controls the machines, contributing to productivity levels.
  • Latest technology: If upgrading your underground mining equipment or renting more for a specific job, you can access machines equipped with the latest technology. The designers of the vehicle systems specifically developed the mechanics to suit underground work, providing more operator control, better air quality and enhanced weight distribution.
  • Increased performance and productivity: Innovative control system capabilities contribute to an enhancement in productivity and performance. Machines with larger buckets and robust wheels can carry and load more materials at once, making operations more efficient.
  • Lower costs: With new underground hard rock equipment, you can save time and money while working because fewer repairs and subsequent downtime are necessary. Using the machines also lowers labor costs since the equipment can handle the work with fewer people.
