Z-17 Electric Rock Loader Clears Broken Rock in an Underground Metal Mine

September 8, 2026

A Z-17 electric rock loader is clearing broken rock during roadway development at an underground metal mine. The site photographs show a miner working at the side controls as the bucket handles loose material on the tunnel floor. The operation illustrates a practical use of the electric loader in mine development, where rock clearance forms part of the work at the advancing heading.

Rock Loading Machine at the Working Face

The photographs show the loader between exposed rock walls, with broken material surrounding the front bucket. The operator stands alongside the machine with the controls within reach, watching the bucket and the material ahead.

The images capture different bucket positions during the rock-clearing work. One view shows the bucket lowered close to the loose rock, while another shows it raised above the machine body. Together, these views document the loader and its operator at work in the underground roadway.

Z-17 Electric Rock Loader Application

The equipment shown is the Z-17 electric rock loader. Its task at this site is to collect broken rock generated during roadway development. The front bucket and lifting mechanism are visible in the photographs, placing the loading equipment in the context of the actual working area.

Alongside roadway clearance, the Z-17 can be used to load ore into mine cars. These applications connect rock collection with the next stage of underground material transport. For this site update, the photographs focus on the rock-clearing operation and bucket movement.
