Remote control systems

The first package of commercialized products from our Advanced Vehicle Technology group, under the MacLean IQ Series product line banner, consists of three levels of remote-control technology.

From basic line-of-sight to surface operation packages, MacLean can deliver and support the appropriate remote-control solution for your unique underground mining environment. These remote-control systems are an excellent addition to the MacLean Ore Flow product line, to safely bring down draw point hang-ups and make block caving operations, in particular, safer and more productive.

Line of Sight Operation

Line of sight remote operations of MacLean mining vehicles, via radio signal in the underground environment
Proportional controls allowing precise operation.

  • 900MHz radio communication
  • 100m+ operation in visual line of sight, a uniquely paired transmitter and receiver ensures the machine responds to only one transmitter
  • Status lights on the machine provide feedback to the operator

Benefits

  • Enhanced operator safety, especially in hazardous operating situations that would otherwise require working near large unstable fragmentation
  • Improved operator ergonomics and reduced fatigue
  • Increased productivity and reduced operating costs

Options

Wireless video system – 2.4 GHz line of sight transmission

Tele-Remote Underground
Surface Tele-Operation
