INNOVATION
Driving Change: Over Four Decades of Mining Innovation
Innovation is in our DNA. For over 45 years, we’ve been on a mission to revolutionize mining mobility by blending cutting-edge technology and real-world experience.
Our approach is simple: we listen to the challenges faced by the industry and respond with smart, practical solutions. Whether it’s enhancing safety, maximizing efficiency, or reducing environmental impact, we build vehicles that not only perform at their best but also contribute to a more sustainable mining environment.
IMPROVED SAFETY
Our vehicles feature Roll-Over Protective Structures (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective Structures (FOPS) Level 1 and 2 certifications integrated into the cabin structure, as well as advanced braking systems including Sealed Integrated Braking System (SIBS).
SPECIALIZED TIRE DESIGN
Our 22-section replaceable tyre system is a game-changer. The sectional design allows for quick replacement of damaged portions without changing the entire tire, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. The unique design reduces vibration, improves operator comfort and enhances traction across terrains.
DURABILITY ENGINEERING
Through strategic reinforcement and the use of high-strength materials, our vehicles are engineered to last up to 4 years in harsh mining conditions, almost 3 times longer than competitor brands. This translates to lower maintenance costs and increased operational continuity.
ERGONOMIC COMFORT
The Relay's ergonomic design enhances driver comfort and reduces fatigue. With reduced vehicle vibration, quieter operation and an intuitive control layout, operators experience less strain during long shifts, improving productivity and reducing the risk of operator error.
Custom Designs and Optimizations
Our thermal management systems are designed for extreme heat and cold, allowing our vehicles to operate efficiently from the desert to the Arctic. Adaptations include specialized cooling systems, cold weather starting capabilities, and materials able to withstand extreme temperatures.
Our battery electric vehicles (BEVs) offer energy efficiency improvements through advanced motor design, lightweight yet durable materials, and smart power management systems. For our diesel models, we’ve optimized engine performance and implemented emission control technologies to lower fuel consumption and environmental impact.
Our modular designs allow for rapid reconfiguration to suit multiple mining applications, providing greater flexibility in vehicle use. For example, a vehicle can be quickly converted from a personnel carrier to material transport, maximizing fleet utilization and adapting to changing operational needs.
Leveraging our in-house design and manufacturing capabilities, we can quickly develop and test custom solutions for unique operational challenges. We collaborate with clients, use advanced CAD and simulation tools and conduct real-world testing.
