COVER: Elphinstone
Based in Tasmania, Australia, Elphinstone’ s name is synonymous with the mining industry, having manufactured specialised equipment for the underground and surface sectors for over 50 years. The new Elphinstone E15 Tilt Tray is the fourth addition to the expanding, highly configurable E15 underground support fleet. The range includes an agitator, delivery with crane, flat deck, and a fuel and lube truck, with several more applications in development. The same design ethos that led to the success of the original Elphinstone underground trucks and loaders many years ago is appreciated by Elphinstone’ s worldwide customer base, according to Managing Director Warren Young.
