Some operate on a purely national or regional basis; others offer their specialized machines to the world mining market, and while the availability of after-sales support can be an issue unless small manufacturers can build a reliable dealership network, it is often the case that the machines they offer can address the requirements of the narrow-vein sector as well as-or even better than-the mainstream equipment companies. The StopeMate is equipped with a pneumatic rock drill, while the StopeMaster relies on a hydraulic rock drill for production. Because safety is always a top priority, the StopeMate and StopeMaster rigs are equipped with heavy-duty hoses to protect the driller from hose rupture, and guarding for protection from moving parts.
