trucks and equipment technology in mining

Historic steps forward in design and technology have marked the advance of products for the last 100 years 's Frontrunner Autonomous Haulage System uses GPS navigation to allow large electric mining trucks to operate to a complex plan rather than an operator KOMTRAX gives you more control of your equipment and better Mining trucks have been widely used to transport ore in underground mines Use of an underground mining truck can significantly improve the production capacity and labor productivity increase the production scale and improve the mining technology and transportation system

How 's autonomous haul trucks work and the technology

Oct 15 2018Though autonomy is a hot topic across several industries as self-driving cars and heavy trucks hold the promise of changing the way we transport ourselves and our goods it's old news in a way for mining Construction and mining equipment manufacturer traces the roots of its autonomous technology back 30 years ago long before []
