In this segment we only supply operators of underground mines. Since deposits that are easy to develop here are also increasingly being exhausted, there is a growing market for SMT Scharf's underground products. In contrast to coal mines, however, no complex explosion protection is required when mining metals and other important minerals. This means that electric drives and diesel engines with simpler protection classes can be used. Hard rock mining is diverse and globally distributed. The world's largest platinum deposits are in South Africa. Russia is considered to be the leading producer of nickel, and a large number of copper mines can be found in the South American Andean countries and in Australia. Mineral and hard rock mining opens up a number of opportunities for expanding our entire product range. Railway systems, rubber-tyred vehicles such as our Scharf LEV or our diesel and battery-powered LHDs and trucks as well as the associated utility vehicles help mine operators to increase their productivity. Our chairlifts enable a large number of personnel to be transported safely, flexibly and - compared to all other transport systems - continuously. This sector has grown into a second mainstay, which gives us access to new geographic markets that are less relevant in coal mining. This enables us to reduce our dependency on the investment cycles of the coal segment. address SMT Scharf GmbH Römerstrasse 104 59075 Hamm Germany Contact T +49 2381 96001 F +49 2381 960311 info@smtscharf.com Directions By loading the card, you accept Google's privacy policy.
