Breaker Technology Inc (BTI) says it has selected Arnold Machinery Co to distribute rockbreaker systems, mining mobile equipment and breaker attachments to the western US mining market.

Serving the US mining industry for 90 years, Arnold Machinery is well-versed in mining methods and equipment and is positioned to provide top-notch sales, service, and parts from their facilities throughout the Western US, BTI said. The move will improve Breaker Technology’s position in the US mining industry, according to the company.

Terry McKague, BTI’s Director of Sales, said the company knows Arnold Machinery well having worked together in the construction industry for some time.

“We have always been impressed with their commitment to serve the customer, it is in their culture. Providing quality equipment with a long-term view fits well with BTI’s strategy,” he said.

BTI has over 60 years of experience in providing rockbreaking technology and offers an extensive line of rockbreaker systems, scalers, and attachments that power productivity and get mining companies ahead of the grade, the company said. “Additionally, Breaker Technology’s Mine Runner offers a 6,000 lb (2.7 t) payload and is available in various configurations including a personnel carrier, mechanic’s truck, utility pick-up or a simple flat deck.”

Tom O’Bryne, Arnold Machinery’s COO and Mining Equipment President, said: “Arnold Machinery Co’s Silver Service® is the engine of our growth and customer satisfaction is our focus. BTI and Arnold Machinery Company’s cultures align for one common purpose, customer satisfaction is our only policy.’”

Arnold Machinery has been in business since 1929. It is a full service distributor of construction, material handling, and mining equipment, and a wholesale distributor of farm implements in the western US.

Back in August, BTI signed a deal with Creighton Rock Drill (CRD) to distribute and service its underground mining vehicles, rockbreaker systems and hydraulic breaker attachments in the key Sudbury market.
