Surface Mining

Vermeer puts true innovation into surface mining operations.

Traditional surface mining has left untold tons of minerals underground, simply because there was no way to get to it safely and efficiently.

The innovative Vermeer surface miners can work where explosives can’t, with top-down cutting that lets you reach valuable mineral seams and get the most product out of the ground as possible. Plus, you’ll get comprehensive parts, service and support from our worldwide Vermeer dealer network.
