MACLEAN INTRODUCES THE BT-3 BOOM TRUCK AT THE ELKO MINING CONVENTION

In early June 2008 MacLean Engineering again participated in the Elko Mining Convention and Trade Show in N-E Nevada. Exhibiting alongside our dealer Komatsu Equipment Company, this year the “Mine-Mate” utility vehicle line in the form of a BT-3 Boom Truck was introduced into the United States.

Significant interest in the “Mine-Mate” product was shown by local mine operators and contractors, and expectations are that several orders will be placed in the near future.
Features of the BT-3 Boom Truck most appreciated were its ruggedness and quality appearance, high speed and payload, and its environmentally state-of-the-art diesel engine which is electronically controlled, fuel efficient and low in diesel emission discharges.

The Elko region is the centre of gold mining in the United States, with the State of Nevada being responsible for 70% of the country’s output. It has been a strategically important market for MacLean Engineering for the past ten years, and will continue to be a major focus for the company.
