Endis power solutions are Becker Mining Systems’ range of underground energy distribution products. These include Endis contactors, E-Houses, power centres, switchgears and transformers.

Becker Mining Systems has provided thousands of power systems to a number of industries, as well as investing in the modernisation to ensure safety and efficiency.

The flameproof Endis switchgears and transformers have been developed for hazardous environments in underground mining operations, and the Endis contactors implement the respective application of the switchgear devices.

E-Houses, also known as Power Houses, function as a self-contained motor control centre with all associated controls, such as VFD, lighting, electrical wiring and network communications, as well as SCADA and HMI.

Building on more than thirty years of experience providing safety products and solutions to the mining and tunnelling industry, Carroll Technologies is entrusted to ensure that operations at more than 800 mines across North America run smoothly and safely.

Products and services provided by Carroll Technologies’ distributors are MSHA approved and covered by our experienced product support team.

Carroll Technologies provides more than just power support systems. Our expert team provides around the clock MinerCare support and 24/7 support for repairs and maintenance.

Across North America, we have 13 distribution centres, a growing network of manufacturers, and more than $7million worth of mining components for emergency repair.
