Mine Bug Australia
The Mine Bug utility RTV vehicle - a real performer, above ground and under ground
Mine Bug is a two seater, mine compliant, light duty run-about.
Brain child of Ed Sweiger, MD of Mine-Pro (NSW) Pty Ltd and Glenn Down, MD of Phoenix Engineering Australia Pty Ltd, this versatile vehicle has been developed by Mine Bug Australia Pty Ltd with substantial input from operational mine managers, experienced contractors, certified Australian engineers and Kubota Australia.
The Mine Bug boasts some impressive Research & Development.
It has, as its safety circuit, compressed air in lieu of electrics. All sensing equipment is compressed air based; including temperature sentinels, float valve sensors, strangler valve and door open sensors. The starter motor also uses compressed air supplied by an onboard compressor and air receiver.
And importantly, Test Safe Australia has approved the Explosion Protected Diesel Engine.
