Purpose-Built Equipment for Every Stage of Underground Mining

Underground mining operations rely on specialized equipment capable of performing safely and efficiently in some of the industry’s most demanding environments.

From mine development and production to maintenance and infrastructure support, every application presents unique operational challenges that require equipment engineered specifically for the task.

For more than 70 years, Getman Corporation has focused exclusively on designing and manufacturing purpose-built mobile equipment for underground hard rock mining.

 Today, the company supports mining operations on six continents through a comprehensive portfolio of production and production support equipment, backed by a global network of distributors, replacement parts, technical service, rebuild programs, and customer support.

Rather than adapting a single platform for multiple applications, Getman develops equipment around the specific requirements of underground mining, helping operations improve productivity, equipment availability, and long-term value.

Ground Support

Ground control is fundamental to safe and productive underground mining. Before rock reinforcement systems such as bolts, mesh, or shotcrete can be installed, loose and potentially unstable rock must first be removed.

Getman’s Ground Support product line includes mechanical scalers, concrete transporters, and shotcrete sprayers designed specifically for these applications.

The ProScale family of mechanical scalers is available in multiple machine sizes, allowing mines to match equipment to varying excavation dimensions while providing excellent reach, operator visibility, and stability during scaling operations.

Supporting the scaling process are ProMix concrete transporters, which efficiently deliver concrete underground, and the ProShot concrete sprayer, engineered for accurate and consistent shotcrete placement during mine development and ground reinforcement.

Together, these machines help create stable excavations while improving the efficiency of ground support activities.

Explosive Charging

Reliable explosive charging equipment plays an essential role in both mine development and production.

Getman’s Explosive Charging product line includes ANFO and integrated emulsion charging systems designed for a variety of underground mining methods.

The ProCharge ANFO series provides efficient charging solutions for development headings and production stopes, while the ProCharge MAXX integrated emulsion system combines emulsion storage, pumping, hose management, and charging functions into a single machine.

Purpose-built operator controls, ergonomic layouts, and simplified maintenance contribute to consistent performance while allowing mines to configure equipment to meet their specific blasting requirements.

Material Transport

Moving personnel, materials, consumables, and equipment efficiently throughout an underground mine is critical to maintaining production.

Getman’s Material Transport product line includes cassette handlers, cranes, open-deck carriers, telehandlers, and other specialized transport solutions designed for underground operations.

These machines safely move everything from fuel, lubricants, and explosives to maintenance components and construction materials.

Many Getman platforms utilize common components and standardized designs, simplifying maintenance, operator training, and replacement parts inventory while providing the flexibility to support multiple underground applications.

Production Support

Beyond production equipment, underground mines require specialized machines to support daily operations, infrastructure maintenance, and mine services.

Getman’s Production Support product line includes scissor lifts, utility equipment, and customer-specific solutions developed for individual mining applications.

These machines assist with maintenance activities, infrastructure installation, utility work, and other essential production support tasks while helping improve operational efficiency and equipment utilization.

Recognizing that every mining operation has unique requirements, many production support machines are engineered in close collaboration with customers to meet site-specific needs.

Global Parts and Service Support

Reliable equipment depends on reliable support throughout its operating life. Getman complements its equipment portfolio with a comprehensive global aftermarket network serving underground mines across six continents.

Through authorized distributors and company service locations, customers have access to genuine replacement parts, technical assistance, field service, preventive maintenance, diagnostics, operator training, factory rebuilds, and equipment modernization programs.

Factory rebuild services extend equipment life while incorporating updated technologies and design improvements, providing a cost-effective alternative to replacement in many applications.

This lifecycle support approach helps maximize equipment availability while reducing the total cost of ownership over the life of the machine.

Whether supporting ground control, explosive charging, material transport, or production support activities, Getman’s purpose-built philosophy extends beyond equipment design.

 By combining application-specific engineering with customer-focused service and global aftermarket support, the company continues to help underground mining operations improve productivity, reliability, and long-term performance throughout every stage of the mining cycle.

For more than 70 years, Getman’s purpose-built approach has been guided by a simple objective: helping miners work safely.
