Underground Mining and Tunneling Equipment – Success over decades

Sixty years of special vehicle design and manufacturing know-how are our guarantees of your return on investment.

Underground mining vehicles manufacture started in the 1960s and was traditionally a substantial part of SCHOPF’s activity. The company now supplies 160 countries with aircraft handling and mining equipment products. The collaboration with Paus gives us the possibility to supply the full spectrum of underground loaders with capacities ranging from 1,500 kg to 18,000 kg payloads as well as auxiliary equipment for underground mines like dump tracks and utilities.

The SCHOPF philosophy of designing and building heavy duty vehicles is the proven way of KIS (keep it simple). Again the latest development of LHD range the SFL 60 series has proven its robust and reliable design in CIS, USA, Southern Africa mines. The flameproof SFL 60 FLP is successfully working in the South African coalfield area Witbank. The LHD has a height of only 1,38 to 1,58m is equipped with a 3,2 m3 (4,2cyd) ejector bucket and is therefore most suitable fort low coal seam operation.

A redesign of the lager LHD’s SFL 65, SFL100, SFL 150 is done with excellent results regarding reliability and productivity.


Compelling reasons for successful teamwork. For further information about commonly distributed products kindly refer to the PAUS/SCHOPF-brochure (PDF-format).
