Epiroc underground loaders available with new bucket lip option

Epiroc has enabled its Scooptram underground loaders to be equipped with Wearpact ground engagement tools (GET) from CR Powered by Epiroc as a factory fit. Wearpact GET is an edge lip feature on the loader's bucket for material and loading tasks. This integration follows CR, an Australian provider of advanced ground engagement tools and digital solutions, joining Epiroc in February 2023.

Operators can augment their loaders by adding the Wearpact feature to the Scooptram loader for hard rock underground mining applications.

The Wearpact GET is a bolt-on GET system. The low profile, self-sharpening edge ensures ideal penetration and clean engagement at every pass, ensuring up to 40 percent longer wear life.

"The Scooptram underground loaders are productive machines and one of the most important parts that keeps productivity ongoing is a well-functioning bucket. By adding the Wearpact GET option on a standard machine, customers will enhance their loader bucket with a longer life. This means less time spent in the repair shop and less downtime for the Scooptram loader, leading to a continuous productivity cycle," says Erik Gert, global product manager of large loaders, underground division, at Epiroc.

Contractors can place orders for Scooptram ST18 and Scooptram ST14 loaders in the Smart and Green series, with Wearpact GET, with Scooptram ST7 and Scooptram ST1030 options available in 2025.
