Main Features that Set Our Man Carriers Apart:

1. ROPS/FOPS Cab and Carriage:Safety is our top priority. The Roll-Over Protection Structure (ROPS) and Falling Object Protection Structure (FOPS) ensure a secure environment for personnel during transportation, safeguarding against unforeseen incidents.

2. High-Strength Integral Frame:Compact yet robust, our man carriers boast a high-strength integral frame with small overall dimensions. This design ensures optimal maneuverability through the intricate pathways of underground mines.

3. Flexible Suspension for Comfort:The spiral spring + damper + A-frame structure provides a flexible suspension system, offering a smooth and comfortable ride even on uneven surfaces. Operators can navigate the underground terrain with ease, enhancing overall comfort.

4. Fully Enclosed Cab with Air-Conditioning:Operator comfort is not compromised. The fully enclosed cab, equipped with air-conditioning, provides a controlled environment, ensuring that personnel arrive at their work destinations refreshed and ready for their tasks.

5. Internationally Renowned Brands for Core Components:Quality matters, and that's why our man carriers incorporate core components from internationally renowned brands. This ensures stability, reliability, and longevity, even in the demanding conditions of underground mines.

6. Hydraulic Mechanical Transmission, Four-Wheel Drive:Efficiency is at the heart of our man carriers. The hydraulic mechanical transmission coupled with four-wheel drive ensures optimal performance, enabling seamless navigation through the challenging underground topography.

7. Large Ground Clearance:With a substantial ground clearance, our man carriers can navigate uneven surfaces with ease. A minimum ground clearance of 260mm ensures adaptability to diverse underground conditions.

8. Hydraulic Dual-Circuit Braking System:Safety is reinforced with a stable and reliable hydraulic dual-circuit braking system. This system provides operators with confidence, knowing that the man carrier responds promptly to braking commands.

9. Adjustable Steering Wheel for Enhanced Comfort:Customization is key to operator comfort. The adjustable steering wheel allows operators to tailor the driving experience, optimizing both height and tilt angle for a personalized and comfortable journey.

10. Additional Comfort Features:Equipped with electric wipers, a reversing image system, and a reversing radar device, our man carriers go beyond basic transportation, incorporating features that enhance safety and operational efficiency.
