Alminco Pty
Adaptable
The Alminco Bull Ant® can be used on its own as a brace, but is specifically designed for use with the Alminco Cub Borer fitted with yoke pivot arrangement.
Dependable
Under the exacting conditions of underground mining Alminco recognises the need for lightweight, durable equipment. The Alminco Bull Ant provides the necessary support to get the job done safely and efficiently.
Simple
Simplicity in design and operation are key to the success of the Bull Ant. From the easily operated air controls to the locating shaft and pin that join the Bull Ant and the Cub - all are designed to ensure straightforward underground operation.
Versatile
Controlling the speed of lift and thrust is fully adjustable with the simple control valve. When combined with the Cub, lift and drilling controls are close together. The versatile control system on the Bull Ant doubles the number of leg speed settings; this allows smooth lifting to match the drilling speed.
Lightweight and Durable
The Bull Ant is manufactured using filament wound fibreglass and a stainless steel piston rod. This design enhances the strength of the cylindrical air leg and reduces the mass for the operator.
