Engineered for the demanding environments of the Andes and Atacama, our flagship electric loaders deliver unmatched power, safety, and efficiency without emissions.
Chile stands as a global powerhouse in the mining sector, dominating the world's copper production and holding vast reserves of lithium within the renowned Lithium Triangle. As the global demand for green energy transition materials skyrockets, the Chilean government and major mining corporations like Codelco and BHP are implementing stringent environmental regulations. The goal is clear: achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. This monumental shift has accelerated the demand for Electric Loaders and zero-emission trackless mining equipment across the country.
Operating in Chile presents unique geographical challenges. Many of the country's most prolific copper mines are situated high in the Andes mountains, often exceeding elevations of 4,000 meters. At these extreme altitudes, traditional diesel engines suffer from significant power loss due to thin air and lack of oxygen, while simultaneously producing excessive toxic exhaust. Electric Loaders provide the ultimate solution. Because electric motors do not rely on combustion, they experience zero power degradation at high altitudes. Furthermore, they eliminate underground exhaust emissions, which drastically reduces the massive energy costs associated with mine ventilation systems.
No power loss in the oxygen-depleted environments of the Andes. Electric drivetrains ensure consistent torque and lifting capacity.
Eliminating diesel particulate matter (DPM) and noxious gases can save underground mines up to 40% in ventilation energy costs.
Aligns perfectly with Chile's national decarbonization strategies and global ESG standards for sustainable mineral extraction.
To meet the rigorous demands of the South American market, a robust manufacturing foundation is essential. We combine cutting-edge technology with decades of engineering expertise to deliver world-class machinery.
Shandong Derui Machinery Co., Ltd. was founded in 2012 and is located in Weifang, Shandong Province, known as the "Kite Capital." Derui is a high-tech enterprise specializing in trackless mining equipment, integrating R&D, manufacturing, sales, and service. Its main products include underground loaders, mining trucks, scaling jumbos, and multi-purpose utility vehicles. The company is equipped with a comprehensive hydraulic pump and motor testing platform, capable of undertaking maintenance and debugging for pumps and motors from brands such as Sauer, Eaton, and Rexroth. Since its establishment, we have focused on the production and R&D of trackless equipment for underground mining. We are committed to developing into an internationally renowned manufacturer of mining machinery and equipment, providing high-quality products and excellent services to a growing number of customers.
Currently, the company has over 200 employees, including a technical R&D team of more than 50 professionals. We have a comprehensive overseas market service team comprising sales personnel and after-sales support staff. Additionally, we have established branch offices in regions such as Zambia and Russia to ensure the quality and timeliness of our overseas services.
The future of Chilean mining and heavy industry is rapidly moving towards autonomous and smart electrification. Modern Electric Loaders are no longer just battery-powered vehicles; they are intelligent nodes within an IoT-enabled mine. Features such as telematics, remote operation capabilities, and AI-driven predictive maintenance are becoming standard. This tech-forward approach minimizes human exposure to hazardous underground environments, significantly enhancing worker safety while optimizing fleet management and reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
In the vast lithium salt flats of northern Chile, equipment faces intense UV radiation, extreme temperature fluctuations, and highly corrosive airborne salts. Our electric loaders and utility vehicles deployed in these regions feature specialized anti-corrosion coatings, sealed electric drivetrains (IP67 or higher), and advanced LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery packs that offer supreme thermal stability. These machines handle bulk material transfer silently and efficiently, ensuring the delicate ecological balance of the salt flats is maintained.
For deep-vein copper extraction in regions like O'Higgins (home to El Teniente, the world's largest underground copper mine), spatial constraints and heat generation are major hurdles. Compact electric loaders provide high breakout force in narrow drifts. Regenerative braking systems are particularly advantageous here; as loaders navigate steep declines with heavy payloads, the electric motors act as generators, feeding power back into the battery, thereby extending operational shifts and reducing brake wear.
Beyond mining, Chile is investing heavily in urban infrastructure, including the expansion of the Santiago Metro. Urban tunneling requires strict adherence to noise and emission regulations. Zero-emission electric loaders and scaling jumbos eliminate the noise pollution and exhaust fumes typical of diesel machinery, allowing for 24/7 operation in densely populated urban centers without disturbing residents.
Derui focus on product leadership, service, cost, safety and efficiency will enable us to devote ourselves in the mining industry. We will continuously invest in human resource, machining equipment and advanced production equipment, after-sales service abilities and thus help our customers to solve mining’s toughest challenges.
By choosing our electric machinery, Chilean enterprises benefit from a dedicated supply chain, robust warranties, and a commitment to minimizing downtime. We understand that in the fast-paced world of copper and lithium extraction, reliability is the ultimate currency. Our localized approach ensures that spare parts and technical expertise are always within reach.
