1. Material Handling and Loading
Loading mined materials (coal, ore, gravel) onto trucks or conveyors.
Handling overburden (waste rock) in open-pit mines.
2. Stripping and Overburden Removal
Removing topsoil and loose rock layers to expose mineral deposits.
Working in conjunction with dump trucks for efficient waste removal.
3. Trenching and Channeling
Digging trenches for pipelines, cables, or drainage systems in mining sites.
Creating access roads or drainage channels to prevent waterlogging.
4. Site Preparation and Rehabilitation
Leveling ground for infrastructure (roads, platforms, storage areas).
Assisting in land reclamation after mining operations.
5. Selective Mining and Stockpiling
Precise extraction of specific ore grades in small to medium-scale mines.
Sorting and stockpiling materials for further processing.
6. Utility and Support Operations
Maintaining haul roads and mine infrastructure.
Assisting in equipment maintenance and repair tasks.
