We have successfully proven the Fairchild Model 35C-WH2-30-AC, AC Drive, Workhorse Dual Tram Scoop at a major underground operation. This battery-powered vehicle is the latest addition to Fairchild’s proven series of single and dual tram scoops, shield haulers, diesel scoops and tractors. The AC Drive provides increased battery life cycles and reduced motor maintenance costs.

See what actual mine operators are saying:

“We are pleased to be part of the testing of the new AC tram Fairchild scoop. This machine is truly a Workhorse. The performance, battery life, and availability are excellent. Our operators and maintenance personnel have only the highest comments concerning this machine.”

Carl Estep,
Maintenance Manager,
Coal River Energy

“Fairchild’s AC Drive Scoop does not produce heat like a DC drive. It is absolutely amazing! The lack of heat will eliminate costly tram motor replacement or repairs. This unit is more productive hauling supplies, cleaning and graveling roadways, and moving support equipment. The tram speed is much faster than a DC unit. The AC machine’s torque is much greater than any scoop underground.”

Ryan Browning,
Chief Electrician
