Mining & Tunneling

Mining and tunneling equipment and the environment they are used in represent one of the most demanding operating conditions in the world. Both industries require precision and accuracy as well as rugged and reliable Radio Remote Controls to get the job done. Whether it’s a GR, EURO, GL or a Video Feedback system, Hetronic has the ideal Radio Remote Control solution for your mining and tunneling applications. For over 35 years, Hetronic has been the go-to radio remote control manufacturer with a high level of expertise in such hazardous industries.

Hetronic engineers understand the potential hazards and issues when using radio remote controls above or below ground. Conditions that include:

Limited space
Noise
High vibration

G-Forces
Temperature fluctuations
Toxic gases

Dust
Potentially explosive conditions

These conditions create an environment where radio remote controls must be intrinsically safe, completely reliable, rugged and efficient. Hetronic Radio Remote Control systems are designed with the operator in mind, offering products that are easy-to-use, reduce fatigue and provide intuitive controls including digital or proportional joysticks, paddle levers, toggle switches, buttons and even displays for real-time system and data feedback. Every Hetronic system can be configured to the specific application.
