Our Range of Underground Mining Equipment

Underground mining demands rugged, specialized machinery designed to navigate tight spaces and handle heavy loads in low-visibility conditions. We source and supply equipment from top brands like Sandvik, Atlas Copco (Epiroc), Caterpillar, and more. Our underground offerings include:

• Underground Haul Trucks: Built for steep inclines, minimal clearance, and heavy payloads.
• Loaders (LHDs): Engineered with powerful hydraulics and low profiles for efficient mucking and hauling.
• Drill Rigs: Precise drilling solutions for tunneling, exploration, and resource extraction.
• Utility Vehicles: Personnel carriers, scissor lifts, and maintenance trucks to keep underground systems running smoothly.

We inspect each piece of gear to ensure it meets safety standards and fits the specific demands of underground environments.

Surface Mining Essentials

For open-pit or surface mining operations, McDowell Equipment carries a variety of machines to increase productivity and reduce manual labor. Our surface mining lineup covers:

• Excavators & Shovels: Large-capacity buckets for overburden removal and ore extraction.
• Bulldozers: Ideal for leveling, clearing land, and pushing vast amounts of material.
• Haul Trucks: High-tonnage trucks capable of transporting massive loads over long distances.
• Wheel Loaders: Perfect for quickly loading dump trucks and stockpiling material on-site.

Surface mining can involve vast, rugged landscapes, so it’s crucial to have machines that can handle intense workloads and challenging ground conditions. We work closely with our customers to ensure they get the right machine size, power, and attachments for optimal performance.

Specialized Machinery and Attachments

Mining often involves unique challenges and evolving conditions. Specialized machinery and attachments can help you adapt quickly to changes in geology, project scope, or regulatory requirements. McDowell Equipment can source or customize:

• Rock Drills and Bolters: For secure roof support and tunneling stability.
• Crushers and Screeners: Useful in on-site material processing to reduce hauling costs.
• Underground Scalers: Vital for removing loose rock and preventing dangerous rockfalls.
• Customized Buckets or Grabs: Designed to handle coal, ore, or other specific materials more efficiently.

We take pride in finding creative solutions that address your mining operation’s unique needs and keep productivity on track.
