This 2013 Maclean 946 is a vertical drill — more specifically a scissor bolter, a type of underground mining machine used to install rock bolts into tunnel and mine roofs and walls to stabilise the surrounding ground. Maclean Engineering is a well-established Canadian manufacturer with a long history of designing and building underground mining vehicles and support equipment, including bolters, scissor lifts, and utility machines built to the demanding requirements of hard-rock mining operations.
This particular unit carries stock number T20-38 and serial number 946-334, and has logged approximately 3,254.7 hours of use. It is in good condition and has been fully serviced, with parts and operators' manuals included. Power comes from a Mercedes 904 diesel engine meeting Tier 3 emissions standards, started by a 24-volt electric start system. Ancillary systems also run on 24 volts. The drivetrain combines a Dana transmission with New Holland D65 axles, and braking is handled by spring-applied hydraulically released (SAHR) brakes — a configuration common in underground mining equipment for its fail-safe characteristics.
The bolting system is equipped with a Generation II Bolting Head, and the hydraulics operate on an ECO system, designed to reduce energy consumption during underground operation. Operator control is via a tethered pendant. The drill side features an HC50 canopy, while the driver side has been fitted with a new HC25. The front head is stainless steel. Four stabilising jacks provide ground support during drilling operations, and the machine rides on 12.00 x 20 tyres. A 600-volt electrical panel is fitted, along with a 24-volt accessories circuit and a dry-type air cleaner.
Safety provisions include an Ansul fire suppression system, a standard feature expected in underground mining equipment where fire risk must be actively managed. The machine is located in Ontario, Canada.
