Epiroc product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Epiroc designs, manufactures, and services mining and infrastructure equipment, tools, and digital solutions across two business areas: Equipment & Service (surface and underground drill rigs, underground loaders and haul trucks, automation platforms, electrification infrastructure) and Tools & Attachments (hydraulic breakers, drill bits, down-the-hole hammers, quick couplers). The company supplies recurring aftermarket services (parts, maintenance, rebuilds, professional services, training) generating over half of total revenue, alongside automation, digitalization, and electrification solutions such as the LinkOA autonomous haulage platform, 6th Sense digital portfolio, and battery-electric charging infrastructure.
Product overview
Epiroc develops and provides a broad portfolio of mining and infrastructure equipment, tools, and digital solutions organized across two primary business areas: Equipment & Service and Tools & Attachments. The Equipment & Service division encompasses surface and underground drill rigs (SmartROC, Pit Viper), underground loaders and trucks (Scooptram, Minetruck), automation platforms (LinkOA autonomous haulage, 6th Sense digital solutions), telematics (HATCON/InSite), and electrification infrastructure including next-generation charging solutions. The Tools & Attachments division covers hydraulic breakers (HB series), drill bits (Powerbit X, PCD, DTH), and quick couplers. Acquired brands including ASI Mining (OEM-agnostic autonomous systems), RCT (remote control/teleoperation via AutoNav Tele), Mobilaris MCE (situational awareness), Geoscan (digital core imaging), ACB+ (excavator attachments), Yieldpoint (geotechnical instruments), JTMEC (electrification infrastructure), and Eventspec (aftermarket solutions) extend capabilities across automation, digitalization, electrification, and aftermarket services. The company also integrates Ericsson's private LTE/5G network infrastructure as a systems-level digital add-on across its portfolio.
