Modern mining techniques now rely extensively on remote operating control systems. Radio Remote Jumbo Drills provide a safe and productive means to drill and blast oversize or hang ups. The Muckmaster Radio Remote Control System consists of a joystick unit and a vehicle unit. Both the joystick and vehicle units are in constant 2-way communication. The units are compact, modular, easy to work with, and adaptable to all types of equipment (regardless of manufacturer). Designed for quick installation, Hard-Line Solutions drill units’ modular interconnecting system simplifies electrical and hydraulic solenoid connections.
Control system can be configured ON/OFF, proportional, or a combination on any Jumbo Drill (regardless of machine configuration)
Control system enhances safety and operating features by using a microprocessor
Operators are forced to follow set safety procedures when operating the radio remote controlled Jumbo Drill. The drill will shut down if the correct steps are not followed. Muckmaster Control Systems allow maximum flexibility and safe operating procedures.
Quick installation
Diagnostic indicators
There are indicators at critical points in the system, including inside the radio and in the control package. Indicators on the control unit provide status on the machine operating mode, the engine, and the brake systems. With minimum training, operators or maintenance personnel can use the indicators to quickly find the source of a malfunction and provide reliable information to management.

The Muckmaster Tele-Operated Rockbreaker Industrial Remote Control System is a turn-key, off the shelf system designed to operate multiple Rockbreakers from one or more central control stations.
Removes workers from safety and health risks
Diesel particle emissions, dust, noise, falls from height and falls of ground and mobile interactions
Eliminates the need of “line of sight” which is required with radio remotes
Increase in productivity
Ergonomic simplified design
Real time controls
Non-intrusive installations
Quick return on investment
The cost benefits and increased production make the decision of installing a Muckmaster Tele-Operated Remote Rockbreaker integral to your bottom line.
Utilization of modified duty personnel
By re-directing manpower toward more increasing production areas, the return on investment of a Tele-remote Rockbreaker System is almost instant. For a basic one station control site the savings can equal the cost on one position (one employee per shift, and per crew) for one year. When two or more stations are implemented the savings are significantly higher. Soft cost benefits include the ability to utilize modified duty personnel as well as redistributing manpower, an important factor to consider due to the shortage of skilled labour in the industry.

At Hard-Line Solutions, we take pride that we are the mining industry’s leader in Radio Remote products and service. The Muckmaster LHD Radio Remote Control System is designed and produced to achieve superior performance while being exposed to the harsh conditions of underground environments. Bi-directional controls allow not only the control of the machine, but a responsive touch that gives the operator the ultimate level of security and safety.
Compact, modular, and user-friendly
Intrinsic safety features in the Muckmaster design and real time response for the operator.
Adaptable to all types of equipment (regardless of manufacturer or existing control)
Only the interface changes according to machine. The Muckmaster radio will fit on all makes of LHD’s manufactured in the world and can be modified and installed to suit the needs of any mine.
Designed for Harsh Environments
The system was designed specifically for harsh environments and for mobile equipment. Vibration, shock, heat, wide voltage ranges, and other issues with the mobile industry are to be expected. A properly designed system makes these non-issues.
Less down-time equals more production
Reliable and durable, Muckmaster has a proven track record. Cost effective replacement parts, coupled with the ability to do “on site” repairs, keeps lost production due to faulty radios, at a minimum.
Solid state valve drivers
Protects the system from short-circuits, over-current, and voltage spikes without the use of fuses or circuit breakers in addition to providing programmable valve control. Each output is capable of driving 2.2 Amp resistive or inductive loads.
900MHz spread spectrum radios
These radios were originally designed for military use because of their excellent reliability, immunity to noise and reduction of multi-path dropout. 900 MHz spread-spectrum radios are an ideal choice for industrial applications.
Proportional hydraulic valves
Used to operate steering, throttle, boom and bucket functions, proportional control offers high performance in the tightest headings. The cost savings in reduced machine damage from running into walls will more than justify choosing the Muckmaster LHD Radio Remote Control System.
