Mobile Plant HVAC for Open-Cast Mining Fleets

Crushers, screens, mobile compressors, dozer-push units, drill support plant

Semi-mobile plant operating for long campaigns in one pit position. Operator cabins and control kiosks on mobile plant are frequently overlooked in fleet maintenance schedules until they fail outright.
