Introduction of engine to underground
• Underground prime movers as early as 1939
• Resistance
• Widely introduced in 1960’s
• Tended to replace rail & pneumatic driven equipment – Flexibility
– Capacity
– Reliability
• Self propelled equipment designed now for virtually every key operation in the mining cycle – Personal carriers
– Drilling & loading explosives
– Excavating & hauling
– Ground support & materials
