MINING RAIL HAULAGE SYSTEMS
Complete end-to-end rail haulage solutions to save you time and money
Discover autonomous and continuous rail haulage by Nordic Minesteel Technologies, engineered for safer, smarter, and automated mining operations around the globe.
From advanced Haulage Automation that enables driverless efficiency, to rugged Custom Rail Cars tailored for tough mining conditions, NMT solutions are made to perform. Seamless Haulage-level integration connects every stage of your operation, while expert Track Design maximizes reliability underground. Through ongoing collaboration with you, we push the boundaries of automation and productivity.
Delivering exceptional mining solutions and equipment that minimize your cost every step of the way
From chutes to mine cars and unloading stations, Nordic Minesteel Technologies provides top-of-the-line equipment and designs using integrated, custom solutions.
Downtime is lost production and revenue for any operating mine. That is what propelled our team to design rail technology for continuous loading and unloading, and the ability to operate fully automated.
Haulage Automation
Smarter haulage. Safer mining. Proven results.
Nordic Minesteel Technologies’s automated haulage systems are improving productivity and safety at leading mine sites worldwide, including LKAB, Freeport-McMoRan, and BHP. Our rail haulage solutions are built for both surface and underground environments, enabling more efficient and reliable material transport.
Putting safety first
Our mining haulage automation removes operators from hazardous areas, improving site safety and enabling continuous, around-the-clock operations. With features like automated loading, dispatching, speed regulation, and traffic control, NMT helps reduce risk while increasing throughput.
From autonomous mining transport to full-fleet integration, we deliver automation that enhances performance and safety, so you move more material with less downtime.
Custom Designed Rail Cars & Rollingstock
30+ years of haulage expertise
Our designers and engineers assist in system optimization and will custom design wagons of any capacity. Our mine cars are designed for high-speed operation, but also to produce the lowest cost per ton hauled, even under extreme rail conditions.
Our systems can be designed to sustain up to a 30-year life span, making them more economical in the long run and lowering their maintenance costs to well below many other haulage and rollingstock systems on the market.
Rail car variations
Choose from side-hinge or end-hinge bottom discharge rail cars, with standard or custom designs available to meet your material handling needs.

Haulage-Level Electrification
Integrated partner
A state-of-the-art trolley system designed by Schalke Locomotives will enhance your operation.
Reduced ventilation requirements
You’ll find reduced ventilation requirements when using haulage-level electrification and performance that outlasts batteries for long-distance haulage.
Reduced maintenance requirements
Electrification eliminates the need for diesel engines or trucks and offers reduced maintenance due to a cleaner power source.
Haulage-Level Integration
Integrate existing components
Haulage level integration is available with standard controls which are easily tied into the overall mine control system for remote control or monitoring.
Wireless speed and movement monitoring
Information passes to/from the train through radio signals with the system displaying the permitted, actual, and target speeds and movement authority.
Visual, audible, and driverless control
Data is presented through a graphical alphanumeric and analog display, with both audible and visual alarms, and is equipped with driverless operation.
Centralized train management
Train separation can be achieved through moving or fixed virtual block sections, enabled by a single computer system. Switchpoint machines are controlled by interlockings, and a screen control room handles train supervision.
Rail Track Design
No more waits at turnouts and bypasses
Ready to eliminate bottlenecks and boost throughput? Nordic Minesteel Technologies delivers proven rail haulage solutions tailored for mining operations. Our simulation-driven track designs optimise layouts to reduce delays at turnouts and bypasses—maximising flow, reducing downtime, and increasing material movement every shift.
Trusted across both surface and underground mines, our systems are engineered to perform in demanding conditions. Whether you’re expanding capacity or overhauling outdated infrastructure, we’ll help you get more from every tonne hauled.
Partner with NMT to design a rail haulage system that delivers measurable results from day one.
