Mining can be a dangerous job, and unfortunately, the number of deaths has been going up. To help keep miners safe, a company called FIRSTGREEN has created a new machine: the ROCKEAT skid steer.
This is no ordinary loader. The ROCKEAT is completely remote-controlled, which means miners don’t have to climb inside and risk getting hurt. It’s also electric, so it doesn’t pollute the air underground with exhaust fumes.
The ROCKEAT comes in two sizes and can be powered by either regular batteries or special long-lasting ones. No matter which type of battery you choose, you can easily recharge it using a regular outlet or by quickly swapping it out for a fresh one.
The most important feature though is the remote control. Miners can use a fancy joystick or even a phone app to drive the ROCKEAT wherever it needs to go. This keeps them safe from danger, no matter what the situation!
This new technology could be a game-changer for mine safety. Hopefully, it will help reduce the number of mining accidents and keep miners safe.
