MacLean Engineering

MacLean specializes in mobile equipment solutions based on underground mining experience, multi-discipline engineering capability, a continental manufacturing platform in North America, and worldwide customer service and support. The company has been innovating for mining equipment safety and productivity for 50 years, supporting mining customers worldwide with branches across Canada as well as in the United States, Mexico, Peru, South Africa, and Australia. The latest chapter in the MacLean innovation story is the introduction of full-fleet electrification, integrating best-in-class battery and electric drive technology to deliver a safe, proven, and data-rich option for diesel-free operations. Since the inception of the MacLean Fleet Electrification program in 2016, the company has commissioned 50+ battery electric mining vehicles on three continents. With the purchase of an underground Research & Training facility in 2018 and the creation of a dedicated R&D team now numbering a quarter of the company’s global engineering team, the MacLean product development pipeline is tailored for 21st century mining. This means smart, tech-enabled mobile equipment that can operate remotely and, eventually, fully autonomously in multi-OEM mine environments, helping to transform underground mining around the globe.
