Swanson Industries has been a leading innovator in mining equipment repair and new product manufacturing since it began in 1964.
We worked closely with regional mine operators, Swanson service personnel and engineers to develop the DERON line of products. Manufactured with safety and performance in mind, DERON equipment is used in mines throughout the United States.

MR20 – MR40 Equipment Retriever
The MR20 – MR40 is a safe, fast and economical way to recover equipment trapped by roof falls. With a drawbar pull of 150 tons, the Equipment Retriever offers three important advantages:
- Trapped equipment can be recovered quickly, significantly reducing out-of-production time.
- A minimum crew is required to operate the retriever.
- Maximum safety is assured because personnel need not be positioned between the MR20 – MR40 and the trapped equipment.
Rock Dusters In High Pressure Bulk, Portable and Trickle Designs
Swanson’s complete line of DERON Rock Dusters meet your specific dust application requirements while maximizing mine safety and reducing costs. Each model is designed and manufactured with features for the most demanding mining environment:
- SD2 Slinger-Duster: The ultimate design for one-man rock dusting, 2400-lb. capacity or larger
- RD55 Hydraulic Rock Duster: Designed to be transported in the bucket of a scoop car for dusting in less-accessible areas of the mine
- LPD5 Combination Duster: Compact design is engineered to blanket dust up to 200 ft. or trickle dust up to 400 ft.
- ETD2 Electric Trickle Duster: The mining industry’s preferred machine for trouble-free, unattended trickle dusting.
- Customized units are available for operation in hydraulic, electric or diesel power.
Complete Longwall Monorail Solutions Featuring DERON Products
Swanson Industries offers flexible, expandable, sustainable and reliable longwall fluid delivery systems featuring our proprietary DERON monorail components.
Swanson’s single-source longwall monorail system includes the DERON hydraulic winches and diesel hydraulic power units, push pulls, locomotives, Weinhold high-pressure pipes and KAMAT pumps.
SUPER-TEE ALUMINUM MONORAIL
Our aluminum monorail is half the weight of steel rail – but every bit as strong – for easier maneuverability and configuration as your mining operation progresses.
Compare to Steel Rail:
| Designation: | I 140 E | Super Tee |
| Length: | 10ft or 3m | 10ft or 3m |
| Weight: | 169 lb. | 80 lb. |
| Materials: | Steel | Aluminum |
| Rated Load: | 6,000 lb. | 6,000 lb. |
Weinhold High-Pressure Pipe and Connectors
Swanson Industries provides high-pressure pipe and connectors as part of their fluid delivery system to the longwall face. These features deliver a higher fluid volume with less friction over conventional hoses and make the setup and moving of fluid delivery units and components more efficient.
