• Structural Integrity Underground mining machines must be designed for confined, rugged, and low-visibility environments. They must include reinforced frames, flameproof electrical enclosures, impact-resistant panels, and compliant turning radii. • Operator Safety Features Must include ROPS/FOPS (Roll-Over/Falling Object Protection Structures), emergency shut-offs, ergonomic seat placement, fire suppression systems, and low-noise cabins. • Power Systems Can be diesel, battery-electric, or hybrid. Diesel variants must comply with emission norms (CPCB/Euro Stage IV). Battery systems must meet IEC 62619 and thermal stability criteria. • Lighting and Signaling Standardized placement of LED work lights, tail/brake lights, reverse alarms, and reflective markings for visibility in dusty/low-light underground conditions. • Control and Communication Operator panels must be intuitive, with indicators for fuel, battery, speed, brake status, and tilt sensors.
