MINING INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS
URI-SA designs, builds and converts robust mining vehicles for underground and surface applications — from personnel carriers and LDVs to ambulances, bowsers and specialised service vehicles.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Mining vehicles need to perform in demanding environments where access, safety, reliability and vehicle durability are critical. URI-SA develops and converts specialised vehicles for open-pit and underground mining applications, with configurations designed around the requirements of each operation.
From underground LDVs and personnel carriers to ambulances, water bowsers and mobile workshops, URI-SA provides practical vehicle solutions built for the job.

FLEET CAPABILITY
URI-SA offers a range of specialised vehicles that can be configured for different mining environments and operational requirements.
Low-profile vehicles designed for confined underground environments, available in different ride heights and configurations.
Purpose-built ambulance configurations for transporting personnel in demanding mining environments, with options based on specific site requirements.
Practical crew transport for underground and surface mining operations, with configurations including ROPS & FOPS protection.
Designed for water delivery and dust suppression across mining sites, with configurations adapted to the required payload and application.
A practical mobile maintenance platform that can be configured with tools, workstations, storage and equipment required for on-site servicing.
URI-SA platforms can be converted for specialised applications including lubricant and oil bowsers, fire-fighting vehicles, explosives cassettes and other site-specific requirements.
THE URI-SA ADVANTAGE
Vehicles are developed and converted around the specific requirements of the application, site and operating environment.
URI-SA utilises established vehicle platforms, drivetrains and components to create robust solutions suited to demanding mining conditions.
Underground vehicles can incorporate PDS/PDI systems and advanced failsafe braking technology, helping improve vehicle control and reduce the risk of driver error.
From single-cab and double-cab vehicles to ambulances, personnel carriers and specialised service vehicles, URI-SA can configure vehicles around the job they need to perform.
Every mine has different access restrictions, operating conditions and requirements. URI-SA provides customised vehicle solutions rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
OPERATIONAL REALITY
Limited underground height and space require vehicles specifically designed for restricted operating environments.
Dust, uneven terrain, heavy loads and continuous operation place significant demands on mining vehicles.
Mining environments require strong safety systems and controlled vehicle operation to help protect drivers, passengers and equipment.
Mines often require vehicles for specific tasks beyond transportation, including maintenance, water delivery, fire response and material handling.
URI-SA underground LDVs are available in 1.6 m and 1.8 m configurations, allowing vehicles to be matched to different underground access requirements.
PDS and PDI systems can interface the driver, vehicle and safety technology to provide greater control and help minimise driver error.
Selected vehicles are fitted with advanced SANS 1589 failsafe braking systems for emergency braking and controlled stopping.
A URI-SA vehicle can be configured for a range of applications, including personnel transport, mobile workshops, bowsers, fire-fighting and other specialised mining requirements.
OTHER INDUSTRIES SERVED
URI vehicles operate wherever the terrain, cargo or mission is too demanding for standard commercial platforms.
