Me and My Job
Heavy equipment
We use heavy machines like the scissor lift decks that lift us to high places, Scooptrams* that carry gear for us around the mine, and forklifts. This is basic equipment but underground they're a lot smaller, except for the Scooptrams.
A Scooptram a load-haul-dump vehicle that is like a front end loader, except it is probably half the height, with the same size bucket as they use above ground. Different parts of the mine have different sizes of Scooptrams.
