Rotating at it’s base, the unique boom system provides a versatile operating range with smooth proportional movements.

With a working height of up to 15 meters (approx. 49 feet) the Elephant® MEW can easily access difficult parts of most large assets previously difficult to reach, allowing for more jobs to be conducted

The Elephant® MEW is easy to maneuver and can be operated by one or two persons ensuring maximum manpower efficiency.

Compared to traditional methods, the Elephant® MEW requires minimal set-up time

No outriggers are required and no cables or hoses need to be dragged manually. The Elephant® MEW is simply driven to the asset onsite ready to undertake washing.

The unit is built on a chassis from a world-renowned manufacturer and the Australian Road approval allows for efficient sharing of the vehicle between sites.

Safety first

Designed to match Australian mining standards, safety and certifications has been of highest priority.

Distance and movement sensors as well as installed cameras for enhanced visibility provides excellent safety during operations, and the basket affords operators a safe working environment.
