Extracting coal or minerals from the surface or underground takes a lot of highly specialized equipment, including excavators, draglines, roof-bolting equipment, shearers, plows and conveyors. HydraForce and Bosch Rexroth high-pressure cartridge valves and compact motion control systems are designed to handle heavy loads and high force to get the job done safely, efficiently and reliably in the most demanding underground and open-pit settings.

Featured Products
IOT Fleet Management for Mining
HydraForce Internet of Things (IOT) fleet management technology improves miners’ ability to schedule maintenance and helps avoid breakdowns on heavy duty above and below ground mining equipment. It can also perform diagnostics, track usage, log location, adjust settings, and update software on the machinery. It’s a direct connection to the central or home office that helps improve asset reliability and utilization.
HydraForce understands the demands that coal and mineral extraction places on mining equipment. Our IOT fleet management technology helps prevent breakdowns at inopportune times, improves reliability, and even extends equipment life.
