Normet recently added three more pieces of equipment to its SmartDrive offering of battery-electric equipment. The newest additions to the SmartDrive offering are two applications for lifting and installations, Utilift MF 330 SD and Utilift MF 540 SD, and Utimec MF 100 Material SD for material transportation.
Normet SmartDrive architecture combined with Normet’s proven personnel lifting system enables safe lifting works with zero local emissions, improving the working comfort significantly. The Utilift MF 330 SD with a lifting capacity of up to 3 metric tons (mt) and a maximum platform height of 3.5 m is designed to provide a safe working platform for all kinds of installation works in tunnels up to 5.5 m high.
The Utilift MF 540 SD is a scissor lifter offering reliable performance for all lifting and installation needs in underground mines up to 6.5-m high. A 4.5-mt maximum lifting capacity and 4.5 m maximum lifting height makes the installation of even the heaviest mine ventilation fans possible.
Both lifters can be equipped with line-of-sight remote driving system to further increase safety and productivity by allowing the operator to relocate the machine easily with wireless remote control from the ground or from the platform.
The Utimec MF 100 Material SD is designed for efficient bulk material transportation in underground mines. It has a payload capacity of 10 mt and comes in two different platform versions with either low or high platform edges. The vehicle can be equipped with an optional crane with up to 2-mt lifting capacity for effortless loading and unloading of heavy objects.
Combining Normet’s decades-long experience in underground operations with state-of-the-art battery-electric vehicle (BEV) technology, Normet said SmartDrive is the pinnacle of its encompassing expertise in designing and manufacturing purpose-built underground equipment.
