Machines Built For The Underground Mining
Astec has worked to grow the mining industry through innovative machines built for strenuous settings. And nothing is more demanding than underground mechanical scaling. The last thing you need is a machine that compromises safety or doesn’t perform on the production line. Astec’s ScaleBOSS 3D/3DE provides both reliability and enhanced safety underground. Therefore keeping you ahead of the grade.

Master Your ScaleBOSS
Astec’s system continually monitors your machine for improved performance and response. With real-time central monitoring and diagnostics, operator duties are simplified. The system gauges your:
- engine
- hydraulics system
- traction control
- wiring harness
- coils
- joysticks
- sensors
- system pressures
- fluid levels temperatures
While keeping a log of machine-hours, errors, faults, temperatures, and pressures.

Operator Comfort
Our ROPS/FOPS certified cabin is fitted for complete operator comfort and safety. Every ScaleBOSS offers Astec’s ergonomic seat with joystick control. As well as the HVAC system, safety glass windows with front rock guard, and rubber isolators between the cabin and chassis for comfort during tramming and scaling.
