CloseMeasuring equipment for mining machinery and extraction sites
At a mining site, checking the braking and emissions of machinery protects both people and production. Capelec offers robust measurement equipment, either fixed or mobile, which can be used as close as possible to the machinery.
At a mining site, machinery operates continuously, in dusty conditions and under heavy loads. The breakdown of a dump truck, loader or container handler has an immediate impact on production.
Regular inspection of safety systems — particularly the braking system — is therefore as much a matter of personal safety as it is of operational continuity.
Substantial volumes
Extraction machinery far exceeds standard road dimensions. The suitability of measuring equipment must be verified against the actual equipment present on site.
Tense atmospheres
Dust and particulates require the equipment to be particularly robust and make emissions measurement relevant to air quality, particularly in underground operations.
Measurements taken as close as possible to the vehicle
This equipment does not leave the site. Mobile measuring equipment, particularly for deceleration, enables braking performance to be tested under real-world operating conditions.
Emissions measurement takes on an additional dimension here: in confined or underground spaces, it also relates to the protection of people working in the vicinity of the machinery.
Our dual expertise — vehicle emissions testing on the one hand, and the measurement of fine particulate matter and air quality monitoring on the other, strengthened by the integration of the Finnish company Pegasor — enables us to address both these needs through the same points of contact.

Devices that can be taken directly to the vehicles, and expertise in fine particulate matter and air quality.
There is no standard configuration for a mining site: everything depends on the fleet, the topography, the presence of an on-site workshop and the safety regulations in force at the site.
Our teams use these factors as a basis to determine which measurement equipment, whether fixed or mobile, best meets your verification needs.
How can the braking system of a mining vehicle be checked on site?
With a decelerometer: the CAP9500 measures braking efficiency during a test under real-world conditions, without the need for a test bench or civil engineering works. It is suitable for both construction machinery and heavy vehicles.
Can the fine particles emitted by vehicles be measured?
Yes. The CAP3070 particle counter measures the number of particles in the exhaust of diesel engines. Capelec is also strengthening its expertise in air quality through the acquisition of the Finnish company Pegasor.
Is there a mobile testing solution available?
Yes. The CAP CHRONO 10510 mobile inspection lane, which is self-contained thanks to its on-board generator, can be deployed at remote or hard-to-reach sites.
How do I determine the right device for my site?
There is no standard configuration: our teams take into account your vehicle fleet, the site layout, the presence of an on-site workshop and operational safety regulations to determine the most suitable fixed or mobile equipment.
Tell us about your fleet of vehicles and the layout of your site: we’ll suggest the right measurement system for you within 48 hours.
