Read moreThe Elphinstone Mine Extraction Device (MED) has been designed, manufactured and engineer-certified with a pulling capacity of up to 360 Tonnes. The MED was developed for the extraction of bogged or buried underground equipment. Elphinstone is the OEM and owns the intellectual property. The Elphinstone MED has performed hundreds of safe, efficient and successful extractions in several underground mining operations (coal and hard rock) throughout Australia.
The MED is available in 150-tonne, 210-tonne, and 360-tonne capacities. The MED150, MED210, and MED360 were developed in line with industry growth. In addition to buried equipment retrieval, the higher capacity models can extract drill rods embedded in the rock face.
Mining operations can continue relatively uninterrupted during the extraction process with the Elphinstone MED.
The Elphinstone MED eliminates traditional recovery methods that result in production disruptions when other mining equipment (LHDs and or trucks) is used to conduct the recovery.
By using the MED, production equipment does not experience any damage, wear and tear plus the hazards associated with personnel working around mobile equipment in close quarters are reduced significantly.
The unique retrieval system has the support of numerous insurance companies with the recognition that if this system cannot retrieve a buried loader then the loader is not retrievable.
