Since its founding in 1979, Miller Technology has carved a prestigious niche as a pioneer in producing and providing robust and technologically advanced vehicles for the mining industry. The company's journey from its modest origins to becoming an industry vanguard encapsulates a deep-seated commitment to excellence, innovation, and an unyielding focus on safety. Known for their mastery in the design and fabrication of superior mining solutions, Miller Technology has an extensive catalogue of vehicles that cater to a diverse range of underground and surface mining operations. The provision of light-duty vehicles and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that blend performance with environmentally friendly features has helped Miller Technology earn a respected place at the forefront of mining equipment providers.
Miller Technology's expertise extends to bespoke solutions, featuring a variety of customized mining vehicles built around the iconic Toyota Land Cruiser. The company takes pride in their innovative battery-electric version of the Land Cruiser, designed to work seamlessly underground, enhancing comfort, safety, and usability while significantly cutting running costs and environmental impact. The Relay is another marvel created by Miller Technology’s driven team. Designed from the ground up and produced entirely in-house, these vehicles represent the company's commitment to vertical integration – a rarity in the sector that enables them to reduce third-party dependencies, streamline troubleshooting, and ensure quick parts availability. Not limited to BEVs alone, Miller Technology's repertoire of specialized vehicles includes but is not limited to explosive carriers, personnel carriers, aerial boom trucks, mechanics trucks, ANFO loaders, and scissor lifts. Clients with particular requirements can engage Miller’s wealth of knowledge and expertise for custom solutions tailored to their unique needs.
A pivotal component of Miller’s BEV Land Cruisers and other electric mining solutions is their proprietary Ionic Drive technology. This in-house designed technology offers a compendium of benefits, foremost of which include self-sufficiency in software and parts design and a streamlined manufacturing process for critical vehicle components. By eliminating reliance on external parties, Miller expedites troubleshooting and significantly reduces vehicle downtime. Since the essential parts for the Ionic Drive vehicles are produced internally, mining operations can expect an unprecedented decrease in operational halts for maintenance or repairs, directly translating into enhanced productivity. Moreover, extending the Ionic Drive into various vehicles, including Miller’s latest electric grader, bestows a competitive edge. A standardized collection of components can serve multiple vehicle models, facilitating a more efficient and reduced parts inventory for the clients.
The ‘Relay’ establishes a new benchmark in the light-duty flagship BEVs for mining applications. Miller’s relentless innovation leads to unparalleled capabilities in the Relay, hailed as a game-changer in the mining vehicle segment. With a staggering recharge rate – reaching a 94% charge from depletion in a mere 18 minutes – Relay's recharge rate is more than quintuple that of its nearest competitors. A full charge equips the Relay for a formidable 10-hour shift, while the integration of regenerative braking technology stretches this further to 12 hours, given a mine with suitable topology. Such performance figures are groundbreaking and signal a new chapter in the operational dynamics of electric mining vehicles. Moreover, the strategic application of Miller Technology's vehicles, like the BEV Land Cruisers, ensures that operations with less demanding requirements can still benefit from the technological advancements without engaging the full spectrum of Relay's capabilities. In conclusion, whether through the underground ruggedness and fire of the BEV Land Cruiser or the aural silence and clean efficiency of the Relay, Miller Technology's contribution to the mining industry translates into vehicles that are not mere tools but harbingers of a future where environmental stewardship and operational efficiency coalesce seamlessly. With decades of experience and a clear vision for future advancements, Miller Technology continues to take monumental strides on the terra firma of mining sites worldwide.
