Excellent versatility in a small-class bolting platform

The innovative ZB21 offers convenience and productivity on a flexible common carrier platform. This solid workhorse allows completion of the bolting cycle from the operator enclosure to reduce human interaction with screens and bolts.

For mines looking to make inroads into electrification and sustainability, the ZB21B offers a battery-electric driveline option. This electric bolting rig has the same robust capabilities and features as its diesel counterpart. The ZB21B has a modular battery driveline with 83 kWh of onboard energy to meet the challenging bolting needs of underground mining.

100% of bolting cycle can be performed from the operator’s compartment
2 of the major bolt types can be installed off a single carousel
100% tunnel bolting coverage — walls, and backs
