The unparalleled quality of these vehicles saw mining become TOMCAR’s second largest market sector (after military) over the past decade, prompting the company to develop customisable mining vehicles incorporating feedback from dozens of operators. TOMCAR’s mining vehicle features fully-welded high-grade steel frame which makes it ideal for operating under the extreme conditions of mining industries, while providing operators with unmatched safety. Designed to last decades with quick on-site repair, the TOMCAR is well equipped to withstand constant abuse with minimal maintenance and equipment downtime. “The TOMCAR has not disappointed,” said Johannes Sondergaard, K1 Mine Engineer at Potash Mine in Canada. “The TOMCAR has an incredibly low centre of gravity. This, in combination with the high ground clearance, independent suspension, and rollover protection has left me feeling safe and comfortable in all of the operating conditions that the mine has to offer. It has no trouble powering four adults through the hills and valleys of the mine. It is a pleasure to find a machine that I actually enjoy driving throughout the mine for a twelve-hour shift.” Australian Manufacturing
