specially designed to supply electricity
to machines operating in tough drilling
and underground environments across
the world, including open-pit mining,
tunnelling and mineshafts.

of extreme conditions common in
mining applications, the MTO® cables
are resistant to extreme temperatures,
sunlight, water, chemicals, oil and
abrasion, and are available in voltages
ranging from 600V up to 35kV.
Tratos was recently commissioned by
industrial company Takraf, a leading
manufacturer of heavy surface mining
and transportation equipment, to supply
this top quality cable for use in an
opencast mining site in Kosovo. Tratos
manufactured and delivered two lengths
of 2,100m MTO® console-cable reel for
use on opencast mining excavators,
and since its installation the cable has
performed to an exceptional level.
Reliable performance is synonymous with
the Tratos name and the new mining and
tunnelling cables are no different, being
RoHS compliant and quality approved
by numerous industry bodies worldwide.
Due to specialist requirements, the new
cables have been built to adhere to
worldwide standards including AS/NZS,
VDE, BS, UL, CSA, MSHA and OSHA.
MTO® cables are also suitable for a variety
of other applications such as loading and
unloading trains and ships, and have
been performing consistently in these
areas since their launch.
