Komatsu is excited to announce the launch of the second generation of its Z2 product line, featuring cutting-edge small-class development drills and bolting equipment. This new lineup introduces the company’s first battery-electric models for its underground hard rock portfolio, marking a significant advancement in environmentally friendly mining solutions. Alongside this innovation, Komatsu has integrated an innovative pumpable resin system and enhanced ergonomics into the design. Originally launched in 2020, the small-class ZJ21 jumbo drill and ZB21 bolter were built on a shared platform, and the latest Z2 models continue this tradition. They are designed to optimize operator comfort and visibility, incorporating user-friendly controls that make operation intuitive.

In addition to these advancements, the Z2 lineup benefits from a focus on hydraulics products that improve overall efficiency and performance. The hydraulic systems in these rigs are engineered for reliability and effectiveness, ensuring smooth operation during drilling and bolting tasks. Ground-level maintenance features have also been prioritized, simplifying upkeep and reducing downtime for operators. With the introduction of battery-powered models, the Z2 product line not only advances operational capabilities but also aligns with sustainable practices in the mining industry. The combination of innovative hydraulic products and enhanced ergonomics positions Komatsu’s new drilling and bolting rigs as leading solutions for underground hard rock operations.
