JAE and Ferrit introduce utility vehicle for underground mining
From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.
Sashnee Moodley:
South African original-equipment manufacturer JA Engineering has, in partnership with Czech Republic OEM Ferrit, launched a new heavy-duty utility vehicle for use in underground mining. Darren Parker tells us more.
Darren Parker:
Ferrit, through local partner JAE, has introduced the DVU to South African mining. This development comes on the back of the recently announced partnership between the two companies to advance product innovation.
JAE CEO Matimba Mahange…
Darren Parker:
The robust 110 hp vehicle was designed to withstand the most challenging mining conditions and was introduced to address concerns raised by regulators, mining companies and unions regarding the safe transportation of workers and equipment on mining sites.
The 4.9 t vehicle can deliver payloads of up to 1.6 t using an 82 kW Cummins B4.5 Stage IIIA turbocharged diesel engine with direct fuel injection.
It’s design is based on the concept of military-grade utility vehicles and is well-adapted to traverse unpaved roads and offroad terrain. It is also capable of overcoming water obstacles.
The machine features a roll-over and falling-object protective structure cabin, spring brakes with hydraulic release, an electronic control system, comfortable suspension seats and an automatic extinguishing system.
The vehicle can also be equipped with several optional extras, such as a reversing camera, air-conditioning and heating systems, camera system, data logger, methane meter and a variety of other equipment upon request.
