The Freedom™ Car is a cable-free shuttle car. The battery powered shuttle car eliminates cable handling and haulage route congestion, enabling the use of three or more cars in the mining cycle. This yields increased productivity and less maintenance and safety concerns. The car can handle full-shift operation and payloads up to 19mt. Built with a state of the art traction controller and heavy duty frame construction, the car features a large operator compartment designed for optimum visibility and operator safety.
