Mission
We enable mining companies to extend their reserves in the safest, lowest cost and most sustainable way possible.
ADDCAR Highwall Mining Systems has been in operation for over 34 years. We set the benchmark in safety, cost, production and sustainability and allow you to transform uneconomic resources into reserves.

Making an Impact
Applications
ADDCAR HWM Systems can be deployed from a highwall that has reached economic limits, from a box cut, from a mountain side or in a box cut or from a trench where around 20% of the surface is disturbed compared with an open cut operation.
Beyond Highwalls
01
With zero surface impact above mining, ADDCAR HWM Systems are an ideal solution for recovering reserves located under sensitive environmental areas and infrastructure.

Surface Features
02
ADDCAR HWM Systems provide an effective solution for resource blocks that are uneconomic to mine using large-scale open cut or underground methods due to size, geology or other limiting circumstances. We have designed and manufactured machines for steep dip, thick and thin seam and diverse cutting applications.

What Sets Us Apart
01
Designed for Safety
The ADDCAR HWM System is designed to keep workers away from the highwall and under cover on a stable platform. No one goes underground.
02
Experience
ADDCAR HWM Systems have been used for over 30 years across South Africa, Canada, India, Australia and the United States. Our innovative team has been there right from the start.
03
Advanced Technology
Our patented navigation and guidance system leads the industry in mining precision and accuracy. This allows us to safely maximize reserves and double-pass with confidence.
04
Production Performance
ADDCAR HWM Systems are continuous and designed so that all energy generated is transferred to the cutting head. This enables, deeper and steeper mining in a wider range of conditions at industry low costs.
05
Range of Use
We have designed ADDCAR HWM Systems for steep dips, narrow benches, thick and thin seams and "hard rock" conditions. We are innovative and love a challenge.
