Epiroc’s new Minetruck combines compact design with heavy-hauling performance

Epiroc has brought a new option to the underground mining segment with the launch of the Minetruck MT33 — a compact powerhouse with 33-tonne haulage performance in medium drifts. This machine features enhanced safety, productivity, and operator comfort — all the best features from the large truck segment into a smaller footprint. 

The Minetruck MT33 builds on proven performance

Built on decades of experience and evolved from Epiroc's proven Minetruck MT436B, the Minetruck MT33 significantly advances safety, productivity, and operator comfort. The Minetruck MT33 has been developed in close collaboration with customers to ensure that it meets real-world needs and exceeds expectations.

The Minetruck MT33 is built to last by featuring strategically placed components for maximum protection, reduced wear, and longer life. Its smart PLC display improves data accessibility and performance monitoring, as well as serviceability by streamlining diagnostics and maintenance. As well, features like engine delay shutdown and soft stops extend machine life and keep productivity on track.

"The robust design and low profile of the Minetruck MT33, combined with automatic transmission and high ramp speeds, ensures efficient and reliable operations in demanding underground environments" says Prerna Devkar, global product manager Minetruck — Small Segment at Epiroc's Underground division.

"Safety is engineered into every detail of the Minetruck MT33. From factory-fitted emergency stops and fail-safe braking systems to integrated cameras for superior visibility, the Minetruck MT33 is engineered to keep operations running safely and smoothly," adds Devkar.
