Lifting and Installations

Lifting and installation is required at every stage of the mining or tunnelling process. We ensure that operators can easily, ergonomically, and safely install and maintain everything from electrical cables and wiring to piping and ventilation in any underground environment.

Safety is paramount underground, so we have built our products to be rugged and equipped with enhanced safety features. All our lifting and installation machines are purpose-built and comply with local and international safety regulations as well as Normet’s own rigorous quality control standards.

Utilift MF 330 SD with platform up

Scissor lifts

Normet’s Utilift products are equipped with adjustable scissor lifts. The SF model is agile, able to access tunnels just 3.5 metres wide, and boasts a lifting capacity of 3000 kg. The tilting and extendable platform makes working on inclines straightforward. Optional extras including onboard compressor, crane, and remote controlled pipe lifters give you the flexibility to operate safely and productively even in confined spaces.

The Utilift MF and LF lines are intended for heavy installation works, with the MF models featuring low envelope for smaller tunnels. Hydraulic lift and tilt functions and safety features with an optional radio remote controlled grabble improve the speed of your installation procedures.

The Utilift MF 330 and 540 are powered by Normet SmartDrive battery-powered technology for clean, safe, and sustainable operation.

Himec - Lifting and Installation Process

Our Himec series utilises basket booms to lift personnel safely up to 6 or 9 metres.

The Himec RM is a multipurpose tunnelling lifter designed to be used for installation work or as an explosives charging platform for tunnelling processes. With six different models to lift up to 1000 kg there is an RM for any occasion. The simple, ergonomic operation improves operator comfort and efficiency.
