Mine Runner APV
Mine Runner utility vehicle provides modern-day mine transportation. Ahead of the Grade with more power, better safety, lower maintenance, longer life, and optimal performance.
Your All Purpose Mining Truck
Breaker Technology’s MINE RUNNER All Purpose Mining Vehicle is a solution for a future-focused mining operation. Aimed at safety, lower emissions, and increased productivity. Not to be confused with a customized road vehicle or generic people carrier because the Mine Runner has Hydraulic Wheel Drive (HWD) motors. Therefore providing greater power, extended maintenance and duty cycles.
Engineered from the ground up to be a leader in personnel safety and operational flexibility. Standard on the all purpose mining truck, Mine Runner is a rigorously tested and independently certified ROPS/FOPS operator cabin.
A Mining Vehicle With Exceptional Control
Using both accelerator and brake pedals for tram and braking control, our proprietary system is smooth and seamless. Thus creating an automotive feel. With automatic or manual shifting and traction control, there are no underground conditions which are too tough to handle.
A More Powerful Mining Utility Vehicle
“The ever increasing payload requirements and tramming distances have exceeded the capabilities of the typical re purposed highway 4×4 style truck. Unlike many over the road type vehicles being modified for use underground, the Mine Runner is purpose designed and built for the underground environment,” say Andy Jackson, BTI Engineering Project Leader. Better braking and a lower emissions footprint makes the Mine Runner the best Mining Vehicle to meet your underground needs.
Transport Mine Personnel More Safely
Better brakes mean increased safety. Service braking is accomplished using the hydraulic pump and wheel motors, meaning there’s no mechanical wear parts to fail or replace. Both the primary braking (service brakes) and the secondary braking (emergency brakes) have been designed and tested to meet and exceed the CSA Braking Standard and Performance for Underground Mining Machines. CAN/CSA – M424.3-M90.
Hydraulic Wheel Drive Mining Vehicle
Powered by our innovative “Hydraulic Wheel Drive” or “HWD” fluid controlled power train, the Mine Runner is capable of easy customization to a optional configurations without hindering performance or longevity of components.
