MacLean Unveils Battery Power Engineered for Life Underground

MacLean has been innovating for mobile equipment safety and productivity in the hard rock environment since 1973, and the latest chapter in the company’s mining R&D focus is the development of battery power, engineered for life underground. The MacLean electric propulsion system leverages high power, high efficiency, and long cycle life battery chemistry, sophisticated battery management and vehicle monitoring capabilities, as well as onboard charging that ensures compatibility with existing mine infrastructure.

The formal unveiling of the battery-powered version of the next generation of the company’s signature ground support offering, the 975 Omnia Bolter, was made at MINExpo. In addition, the MacLean booth featured a stand-alone display of the battery propulsion system components at the heart of the company’s battery power value proposition. MINExpo attendees at the MacLean booth got an “inside look” at underground electrification, welcomed by the inter-disciplinary MacLean delegation on-hand, representing expertise from across the company’s engineering, product management, account management and marketing functions.
