Beltor is the OEM of the Mine Extraction Device (MED)), which has been designed, manufactured and engineer certified for a pulling capacity of up to 360 Tonnes (also available in 150T and 210T rated capacities). The MED will safely extract bogged or buried underground equipment.
The MED has performed hundreds of successful extractions at a number of underground mining operations (both coal and hard rock) across Australia.
Minimise production disruptions by eliminating the need to deploy production equipment to assist in recoveries as well as minimising interactions with bogged or buried equipment with the use of the optional remote control.
The MED eliminates the need for traditional recovery methods that involve the use of other mobile equipment, which reduces the hazards associated with personnel working around mobile equipment in close quarters and allows other mining operations to continue relatively uninterrupted.
The unique retrieval system has the support of numerous insurance companies with recognition that if this system cannot retrieve a buried loader then the loader is not retrievable.
