DOK-ING

DOK-ING is an engineering powerhouse of heavy-duty robotics & autonomous systems. The company is an international market leader and has more than 80% of the market share in more than 40 countries globally.

With over 30 years in the business, DOK-ING is recognized for changing the industrial landscape with its innovative approach and has won many national and international awards. By integrating its own innovations and new technologies, DOK-ING develops and manufactures robotic and autonomous systems to protect human lives, property and the environment in dull, dirty and dangerous conditions, known to first responders, primarily in Military Engineering, CBRNe, Counter Terrorism, Emergency Response & Underground Mining.

Underground Mining's innovative portfolio comprises two groundbreaking solutions: the XLPD Compact Robotic Dozer and the Narrow Reef Equipment (NRE) Fleet. The XLPD Compact Robotic Dozer is a low-profile, remote-controlled machine aimed at increasing efficiency and safety in material handling tasks. The NRE Fleet consists of three machines: Dozer, Drill Rig and Support Rig. The NRE Dozer features an ultra-low profile and remote control capabilities, the NRE Drill Rig is engineered for precise panel drilling in preparation for blasting, while the NRE Support Rig is designed to install self-drilling roof bolts (SDRs) in narrow reef stopes.

This fleet enables safe exploitation of narrow reef layers by allowing each machine to perform its specific task in sequence, operated remotely to ensure worker safety. The NRE fleet is unique in its ability to perform mechanized rock excavation in rooms less than 1.7 meters high. Additionally, the NRE fleet is fully electric, eliminating gas emissions and noise pollution from internal combustion engines, and have tracks undercarrige, allowing operation on inclines up to 25°. By using the NRE fleet, the working environment and miner safety are significantly improved, as miners no longer need to enter dangerous areas.
