Stawell Gold Mine, 250km northwest of Melbourne, is no stranger to RCT – Powered by Epiroc. The site has been leveraging our technology to boost safety and productivity for more than 20 years.
So, when the site recently purchased two CAT 2900XE (diesel- electric) underground mining loaders to add to their fleet, they chose RCT to automate them with its multi-machine automation solution, AutoNav.
The decision to employ RCT technology was driven by its agnostic capabilities. Stawell needed to utilise their new CAT loaders alongside their existing Epiroc ST18S underground loaders that are currently equipped with RCT automation.

“Having them operate on the same software was essential for the site. They had existing RCT AutoNav Centres on the surface and underground cabins, and site wanted their operators to control all the machines from these cabins,” said RCT Brisbane Branch Manager, Owen Perrott.
