| The mining industry is one of the most dangerous | | | | For example, some of the Open Cast Mining |
| working environments. Mining equipments are | | | | Equipments are Rock Drills, Drifter, Paving |
| instruments that are commonly used in extraction | | | | Breaker, DTH Hammer, Wagon Drill, Slim Drill |
| of minerals from the earth surface. In the past, | | | | LD-4, Pneumatic Crawler Drill, TCT Drill Steel |
| ancient times, miners used to excavate minerals | | | | Grinder, and Cross Bit Grinder. There are excellent |
| and metals by using simple hand held tools. With | | | | mining equipments available for Sub-surface mining |
| the introduction of automation and modernization, | | | | processes such as shaft mining, drift mining, |
| today’s mining world enjoys the benefit of | | | | borehole mining, slope mining, and hard rock |
| many types of mining equipments that are used | | | | mining. Similarly, there are special mining |
| specially for mining purposes. Modern day mining | | | | equipments for deep underground mining |
| equipment is powered mainly by electricity and | | | | processes such as Longwall mining, Continuous |
| hydraulic energy. | | | | mining, Blast mining, Shortwall mining and Retreat |
| Mining equipments are available for various types | | | | mining. For example, some of the underground |
| of mining methods that are performed around the | | | | Mining Equipments are Junior Simba, Mucking |
| world. There are various types of mining | | | | Machine, Slurry Pump, Exhaust Fan, Air Mover, |
| equipments available in the world. Some of them | | | | Cement Injection Pump, Pneumatic Power Pack, |
| are industrial shredders, drilling equipment, blasting | | | | Turbo Light, Spare parts for Atlas Copco Drifter |

| blasting machine, Mining Locomotive, well drilling | | | | 10 Pneumatic Rod Catcher, Atlas Copco Cavo 310 |
| machine, industrial crushers, cutting machines, drills, | | | | Loader, Pneumatic Raise Climber, Eimco Loader |
| loaders, blasting devices, Track Drill, Rock Drill, etc. | | | | & Hopper. |
| Some examples of mining equipment that is used | | | | The use of right mining equipment is very |
| extensively in mining operations are: hard hats, | | | | essential for increased productivity. For example, |
| clothing/gear, ventilation fans, rock dusters, | | | | the use of large mining equipment in surface |
| tractors, earth movers, water jet pumps, cutting | | | | mining maximizes the recovery through the |
| machines, drills, loaders, blasting devices, dozers, | | | | excavation of one or more coal seam deposits in |
| trucks, cranes, fork lifts, draglines and many other | | | | the large area surface mines. |
| machineries. A mining light system is important | | | | Many features, restrictions and criteria need to be |
