Normet recently launched of the Scamec LC Thor, marking the start of a new era of underground scaling operations. Replacing its globally successful predecessor, the Scamec 2000, the completely new Scamec LC Thor makes the most challenging of underground operations safer than ever before.
It is designed in close collaboration with our customers, combining Normet’s decades-long experience in developing cutting-edge underground equipment with scaling operators’ invaluable experience in everyday scaling work. As a result of this cooperation, this purpose-built machine brings boom accuracy and handling, work area visibility and operator ergonomics – and, consequently, safety and productivity of the whole underground scaling process – to a higher level than ever before.
The Scamec LC Thor is fitted with a completely new, agile and accurate boom with precise control features. Its advanced dust suppression system not only increases visibility even further, but also improves air quality underground.
The Scamec LC Thor has an effective vertical reach of up to 9.5 meters and fits tunnels measuring 4 meters wide and 2.4 meters high. It is available with the latest Volvo Penta’s Stage V or Stage IIIA technology, both allowing for excellent performance in incline driving and improved retardation features with an automatic engine brake function.
