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—fixed or mobile—that can be used right next to the machinery.
At a mining site, machinery operates continuously, in dusty conditions and under heavy loads. The downtime of a dump truck, loader, or container carrier immediately impacts production.
Periodic inspection of safety systems—brakes first and foremost—is therefore as much a matter of personal safety as it is of operational continuity.
Substantial volumes
Extraction equipment far exceeds standard road dimensions. The sizing of measurement equipment must be verified based on the actual equipment present on-site.
Tense atmospheres
Dust and particulate matter require these devices to be particularly robust and make emissions measurement critical for air quality, particularly in underground operations.
Measurements taken as close as possible to the vehicle
This equipment does not leave the site. Mobile measurement devices, particularly those for deceleration, allow 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 involves protecting people working near the machinery.
Our dual expertise—vehicle emissions testing on one hand, and fine particulate matter measurement and air quality monitoring on the other, strengthened by the acquisition of the Finnish company Pegasor—allows us to address both of these needs through the same points of contact.
Design office and factory together in Montpellier: you deal directly with the designer and manufacturer of your equipment, from design to maintenance. Equipment in use on every continent, with subsidiaries in Germany and India.

Devices that can be taken directly to the vehicles, along with expertise in fine particulate matter and air quality.
There is no standard configuration for a mining site: everything depends on the vehicle fleet, the topography, the presence of an on-site workshop, and the safety regulations in effect at the operation.
Our teams use this information to determine which measurement tools—fixed or mobile—best meet your verification needs.
How do you test the brakes of a mining vehicle on site?
With a decelerometer: the CAP9500 measures braking efficiency during a real-world test, without a test bench or civil engineering infrastructure. It is suitable for both construction equipment and heavy-duty trucks.
Can 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 with the acquisition of the Finnish company Pegasor.
Is there a mobile inspection solution?
Yes. The CAP CHRONO 10510 mobile test line, which is self-contained thanks to its generator, can be deployed at remote or hard-to-reach locations.
How do I determine which device is right for my site?
There is no standard configuration: our teams assess your vehicle fleet, site layout, the presence of an on-site workshop, and operational safety regulations to determine the appropriate fixed or mobile solutions.
Tell us about your fleet of vehicles and how your site is organized: we’ll recommend the right measurement system within 48 hours.
