Breaker Technology Inc (BTI) says its Mine Runner is gaining popularity as mines look to increase their utility truck’s life cycle and payload, while decreasing operating costs. With a 6,000 lb payload capacity, the Mine Runner currently offers of the largest payloads for underground utility trucks on the market today. It operates on BTI’s patent pending hydraulic wheel drive system, making operation of the Mine Runner more economical and efficient than a mechanical powertrain.

“The ever increasing payload requirements and tramming distances have exceeded the capabilities of the typically repurposed highway 4×4-style truck. Unlike many over the road type vehicles being modified for use underground, the Mine Runner is purpose designed and built for the underground environment,” says  Andy Jackson, BTI Product Specialist, Mobile Equipment Systems. From mechanic’s truck to personnel carrier, crane truck to scissor lift, the Mine Runner is available in eight different models, configured for optimal use in different types of underground mining operation.
