The Fleet Your Supplier Forgot: Microtex Re-Engineers Replacement Packs for Ageing Underground Fleets
The routine is deliberately simple: the locomotive or vehicle class, a photograph of the old pack's nameplate, the battery-box dimensions, and the duty cycle if known. Microtex engineers the replacement to the box — voltage, capacity, terminal layout and restraint matched to the machine and the duty — and quotes with delivery dates. Where the fleet standard is already Microtex, repeat supply is a stock conversation.
The service record behind the offer: Microtex mining locomotive cells have delivered ten to fifteen years of underground service, with fleets in Indian gold and coal mining and in mines across Africa. Cell-level replacement is also supplied, keeping a fleet battery in service through its full design life — matching cells, connectors and covers ship with fitting instructions.
Every replacement pack is delivered with commissioning support and a matched mining-duty charger where required, and the maintenance round is documented for the mine's own crews. Certification requirements differ by country and mine class; the current certification position for any jurisdiction is stated in writing against each specific enquiry.
