Underground Mining Forklift
Material handling in underground mines requires specialized equipment that can navigate confined spaces, withstand harsh conditions, and ensure operational safety. Kovatera’s KM200 Underground Mining Forklift is designed specifically for these demanding environments, delivering exceptional reliability, durability, and performance. Unlike modified surface forklifts, which are often repurposed for underground use, Kovatera’s mining forklift is engineered from the ground up for underground material handling. The KM200 Forklift provides superior load capacity, rugged construction, and precise maneuverability, making it the ideal choice for underground applications.
KM200 Forklift – Engineered for Efficiency and Safety
The Kovatera KM200 utility vehicle serves as the foundation for this underground mining forklift, offering heavy-duty performance while remaining compact enough for tight mining environments. The KM200 Forklift is primarily available in a diesel configuration for maximum power and endurance, but Kovatera also offers an electric version for mining operations seeking reduced emissions and enhanced sustainability.
