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
