Surface Coal Mining

Surface Coal Mining crews include equipment operators, blasters, pit supervisors, plant operators, mechanics, and maintenance planners. Their day runs across overburden removal, haul road traffic, conveyor uptime, wash plant work, and the cleaning, screening, and sizing of bituminous, lignite, or anthracite coal. Serving U.S. businesses since 2011, Zoro supports Surface Coal Mining operations with 14+ million products used around mine sites and prep plants. Buyers often need replacement bearings, v-belts, hydraulic hose, grease, filters, pumps, motors, sprockets, gear oil, respirators, head protection, gloves, spill-control materials, and lockout/tagout devices for planned maintenance and breakdown work. Surface mines and coal handling plants also work under MSHA rules, with close attention to guarding, respiratory protection, visibility, and electrical safety around conveyors, crushers, and mobile equipment. With the right maintenance, safety, and material-handling supplies on hand, crews can keep coal moving and planned work on schedule.
