Mining Power Solutions

Since 1956 TAW’s Custom Equipment division (CE) has been designing and building the most sophisticated and robust power distribution equipment for aggregate and surface mining operations. The foundation of nearly all TAW CE’s power systems for mining is a ruggedized steel sled designed to be dragged through the mud and rough terrain by heavy equipment to where the mining operation needs the power or control work to be done.

TAW CE specializes in well-made equipment that meets NEMA 1, 3R, 12, 4, 4X, and specialty ratings as well as UL, CSA, ANSI, IEEE, and other standards where applicable. All of TAW CE’s mining power systems are built to last in the toughest of environments.
