Exploring new heights – Miller Technology developing new products in 2017

Miller Technology Incorporated is looking forward to innovative new designs and products in 2017 following a successful 2016 – despite the downturn in the mining industry. The North Bay company designs and manufactures all of its equipment in its 55,000-square-foot facility.

“We’ve come a long way from the days when Ron Miller started the company in a home garage in 1979,” said Steve Dunlop, director of sales and service. Four years after he started his company Miller loaded his three-wheel Mine Kart on a trailer and began visiting mines to show off his new product. Now the company retrofits Toyota Landcruisers, the Jeep J8, JCB telehandlers and backhoes, and graders to meet the needs of the mining and tunneling industry.

“Miller Technology provides the necessary support and quality to maintain low operating costs and a solid partnership.”

A recent addition to Miller’s product offering is the telescopic telehandlers with slewing manbaskets where the basket can be rotated 180 degrees for more efficient installations of vent tubing, water lines and electrical cables. The manbasket can be extended in length by simply unfolding the railings and platform. The telehandlers are well equipped with all the necessary features to ensure safety and high productivity.

Dunlop points out that safety is a key focus for all of the Miller products. For example, ROPS/FOPS canopies, fire suppression systems and braking systems, to name a few, are all safety devices Miller engineers are constantly testing and designing to the highest standards. The company takes pride in producing equipment that is safe, tested and high quality.

Miller has greatly improved its delivery schedule and quality control. With the improved supply system, Miller is able to meet customer demand without compromising quality. “With a 24-hour service line, we are always available and flexible and we go out of our way to provide solutions to our customers,” said Dunlop.
