Epiroc unveils the Terrah Series: a brand-new product family of utility vehicles for underground operations

January 22, 2025

Epiroc’s new Terrah Series of utility vehicles are designed to maximize modularity, productivity and safety in small to medium-sized underground mining and civil construction tunnels. Built on a legacy of reliable products now enhanced with Epiroc technology, the Terrah Series supports customers throughout the entire mining and tunneling cycle.

Following the acquisition of AARD Mining Equipment, Epiroc has successfully integrated a new product family of utility vehicles into its global mining and civil construction portfolio. The outcome is the Terrah Series ─ a hallmark of reliable, durable, and high-performance underground equipment. With a heritage spanning over 30 years under AARD Mining Equipment, these machines have been developed and proven in the most demanding African mining conditions.

"With the introduction of utility vehicles to our underground product portfolio, our customers can trust Epiroc more than ever to provide a single point of contact for all their needs. This launch not only reinforces our commitment to innovation but also strengthens our growth ambitions across Africa and beyond."

“The versatility of the Terrah Series is unlocking new opportunities, with strong demand already coming from customers outside of southern Africa,” says Martina Ahlborg, General Manager for the production facility in Chamdor, South Africa. ”Built to last, the Terrah Series is a sustainable choice thanks to its high-quality components and robust design.”

The flexible carriers within the Terrah Series, Terrah TS100 FR and Terrah TS100 FC, have modularity at their core. Each carrier supports a broad range of modular cassette solutions, allowing for seamless configuration to suit various operational tasks.

“Built to deliver, designed to adapt - the Terrah Series redefines flexibility and cost-efficiency,” says Daniel Sandström, Global Portfolio Manager Utility Vehicles at Epiroc’s Underground division. “By switching the carriers’ cassettes during a work shift, you can ensure full machine utilization and maximized productivity.”

The purpose-built machines are developed for specific types of applications, like the Terrah TS100 SC rock scaling machine. Prioritizing operator safety throughout the entire operation, the Terrah Series scaler offers excellent visibility, easy maneuverability, and reliable safety features. Designed to always keep the operator away from unsupported ground, the Terrah TS100 SC is equipped with a robust telescopic boom, ensuring precise rock scaling and increased productivity.

As the mining and construction industries continue to evolve, the Terrah Series stands ready to drive efficiency, safety, and productivity in underground operations worldwide.
