Tunnelling Equipment

Susumo Engineering has launched a totally fresh set of machines for Tunnelling Jobs. These are: 1. Tunnel Excavators – this is an excavator mounted on tyres. The excavating arm is specially designed. It has a long reach and can turn 360 degrees in very small micro-tunnels also. All its wheels are hydraulically driven hence it can take gradients. Being on tyres it travels faster than track-mounted excavators. It can pick-up muck from the front, turn 180° and unload it onto trolleys or dumpers, etc. It is an ideal machine for tunnels of smaller width. 2. Trolley Loading Bucket – the entry level machine is a bucket, which loads tractor trolleys. The muck has to be scraped onto the bucket manually. When it reaches a max capacity of 500 kg, the bucket is raised hydraulically. The whole load of muck is thus transported directly to the centre of the tractor trolley. This machine is self-propelled and works on single phase electric supply. It mainly eliminates the lifting of muck by labour. It involves the least of hydraulics and is hence easy to operate and maintain. The company has a whole range of machines from simple tractor trolley loading bucket to mucking machines to suit various requirements of this sector.
