Elphinstone is excited to deliver a MED210 to Centamin’s Sukari Gold Mine in the Nubian Desert, Egypt. Sukari is Egypt’s first large-scale modern mine; served by smooth tarmac roads, off-grid power, solar and a 25km water pipeline fed by the Red Sea. The landscape and climate can be unforgiving in Egypt’s mineral-rich Eastern Desert.
Elphinstone is excited to have recently dispatched two E15 Agitators to Evolution Mining’s Ernest Henry Mine through Hastings Deering QLD.
Headlining series, the new E15 Agitator 7m3 is built to thrive in harsh underground hard rock mining conditions. Specialising in the transport of shotcrete or concrete for backfilling voids, the Agitator features outstanding ride and handling at full capacity improving cycle times and increasing productivity. Capable of onboard mixing during transit and loading via the chutes or conveyor.
Elphinstone is excited to Introduce the new E15 model to the Elphinstone Underground Hard Rock Support Vehicle range. The low-profile E15 is a welcome addition to the existing range of E10 (formerly WR810) support vehicles, both base platforms sharing a high level of interchangeability of parts and components.

The Elphinstone WR810 series of underground support vehicles are recognised as a modular and highly configurable, 10-tonne nominal base platform featuring a superior level of interchangeability of parts and components between machines.
The WR810 model number will be phased out starting January 2024 and replaced with the E10 model number. This will apply to all future WR810 machines.
Operating up to 2km underground in one of Australia’s deepest copper mines makes for potentially tough working conditions. But Elphinstone’s partnership with WesTrac to provide state-of-the-art machinery to Glencore’s CSA Mine near Cobar meets the challenges with aplomb.
Access to modern, robust equipment that can withstand the harsh, hot underground environment and perform to high standards is front of mind for CSA Mine’s Mobile Mechanic Superintendent Peter Patton and his 88-strong team of trades and planning experts.

Elphinstone Pty Ltd is pleased to announce the commencement of a project to develop a suite of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) for underground hard rock mining to address the increasing decarbonisation efforts and expectations of our global customer base. The project will require a significant research and development investment by the company in addition to the recently awarded Australian Federal Government Grant. Leveraging its existing portfolio of underground support vehicles, Elphinstone will develop the Battery Electric Vehicles in collaboration with our customers and supply chain partners and produce these in existing product development and manufacturing facilities in Burnie, Tasmania.

Elphinstone is proactive when listening to the ‘Voice of Customer’ (VOC) to ensure our products meet their requirements. The best voice of customer feedback is a repeat order, and Elphinstone is excited to deliver a sixth feature-packed WR820 10m3 Agitator to a much-valued long term customer through WesTrac. This machine will join three other WR820 10m3 Agitators already operating at the same mine in NSW.
The Agitator features front suspension, air-ride seat, ergonomic controls, excellent visibility from the air-conditioned ROPS/FOPS cabin, which combine to provide the confidence to operate the machine at speeds equalling the production fleet. An inbuilt brake retarder delivers superior braking performance when hauling downhill.
Optional features include a ground level fast fill non-pressurised fuel system with a machine isolation sensor in the fuel receiver cap. The system is environmentally friendly, allowing safe and accurate rapid filling by eliminating overfill spillage from the tank. The machine will not start and a warning light will alert the operator if the fuel receiver cap is not fitted correctly. Other optional features fitted include manual hand pump for chemicals to be added directly to the bowl and a camera mounted on the rails located on the right hand side of the machine for improved operator visibility.
