Baughan’s New Range Shows Commitment To Its Customers

The Baughan Group introduces new haulage solutions aimed at driving zero harm and higher productivity for its customers.

During the recent Electra Mining show, the Baughan Group introduced advanced haulage solutions to the underground coal mining industry, aimed at driving zero harm and higher productivity, through product solutions.

The Baughan Group has always had a strong commitment to working closely with its customers, as it focuses on the manufacture and distribution of parts and equipment to the global mining industry, railway and material handling markets.

With a reputation for the successful design, build, rebuild and service of custom mining equipment globally, the company draws upon the resources of a worldwide network of companies. Its goal is to exceed its customers’ expectations by engineering quality and precision into every product and service it provides.

“We have a strong commitment to working closely with our customers in addressing market needs,” says Roger Baughan, president and CEO of the Baughan Group. “We continuously work to improve our market position through innovative design, manufacturing, procurement and superior service, concentrating on what we know best.”

Established in 1996, the Baughan Group purchased Coal Age – a manufacturing and underground machinery rebuilder located in West Frankfort, Illinois, in the United States. In 1999 it expanded internationally, with the purchase of SA companies Salchain and Swasap. In 2020, it acquired the Phillips Machine Services company, which was founded in 1976 by brothers Jack and Jim Phillips.

This acquisition positions the Baughan Group of companies to provide new original equipment manufacturer mining equipment, machine rebuilds, refurbishments, and full aftermarket support and repair services to the underground coal mining industry. The company remains committed to the industries it serves, by providing high-quality products and exceptional customer support.

The haulage solutions introduced at Electra Mining by the Baughan Group include the Phillips Global range of shuttle cars, notably the HC16B Shuttle Car, with a rated capacity of 16 tonnes, and the HC20B Shuttle Car, which offers a rated capacity of some 20 tonnes.

“Our shuttle cars offer increased capacity as well, approximately 12% more than any of our competitors, which translates to high productivity at the lowest cost. All our models offer a variable speed conveyor for reduced discharge time and less spillage,” says Baughan.

“They also offer improved wheel unit design, with patented integrated kingpin lubrication pumps, for increased life and reduced running costs. There is also a patented heavy-duty conveyor reducer design, for increased life and reduced running costs.”

He says the organisation can draw on the resources of a worldwide network of companies.

“Our focus is always on engineering quality and precision into every product and service we provide, and we continue to have a strong commitment to working closely with our customers in addressing their individual needs.

“We continuously work to improve our market position through innovative design, manufacturing, procurement and superior service, concentrating on what we know best,” he says.
