Underground Mining Equipment

Finding the right underground mining equipment can be difficult. Though many companies manufacture heavy machinery, their mining divisions are often secondary to their larger construction divisions. As a result, it can be difficult to find the mining equipment you need. We have put together this web page to give you the most complete information on mining equipment available.

Mining Equipment Manufacturers. As you know, most heavy equipment isn't built with the strength to endure full service mining. Many manufacturers offer excavation equipment, but it is far too weak for real mining. There are, however, several manufacturers who do supply excellent mining equipment. These include Liebherr, Caterpillar, Komatsu, P&H Mining, Joy Mining, Marcotte, and a few others. Below we have chosen a few of these manufacturers and described them in detail.

• Liebherr, Caterpillar, and Komatsu all manufacture giant, extra powerful mining trucks. These include house-sized excavators, loaders, and dump trucks capable of moving hundreds of tons of rock, coal, and debris.
• PHMining.com is the website for P&H Mining Equipment, which is one of the world's leading underground mining equipment manufacturers. P&H makes excavators and drillers that can mine all kinds of minerals and other materials. Amazingly, about ninety percent of the world's surface mines use P&H equipment!
• Joy Mining Machinery is actually the branch of PH Mining devoted to smaller, mining related machines such as continuous miners, haulage products, and bolting and longwall systems.
