The 2026 underground mobile-equipment market still resolves into three distinct tiers, with new 2026-model CAT AD30 underground trucks and Sandvik TH545 units on dealer floors at the same time as factory-rebuilt DUX DT-26N (26 t) and Eimco 985 (15 t) trucks carrying warranty [S2].
Dealer listings dated 15 Jul 2026 show 2026-model CAT AD30 in stock alongside a 2015-year CAT AD60 with 27,988 hours, 47.9 yd³ dump box and Wiggins fast-fill at dealer inventory (CAD pricing) [S2], illustrating the parallel new-and-reman lifecycle that defines capital-equipment procurement in this segment.
Tier 1: New OEM Production Fleets (Caterpillar, Sandvik, Epiroc, Normet, Mercedes-powered HX45)
Tier-1 OEM offerings visible in 2026 dealer inventory include the CAT AD30 (new, 2026 model year), CAT AD45B (refurbished, AWD, SAHR brakes, fire suppression, rear-view camera, dump bed), Sandvik TH545 (2021/2022 build, used only for training, never worked underground) and the new HX45, a 45 t haul truck with a 21 m³ box and a Mercedes Euro V engine [S2]. Epiroc's ST-7.5 loader family shows up by part numbers (5574631000 dump cylinder, 5572622200 steer cylinder, 5574630800 steer cylinder) on the same dealer listings, confirming that the ST-series remains the dominant LHD platform in the rebuild and spares market [S2]. Normet's MF540 (2019, 258 hours since new, Cummins engine, Clark powertrain, pipehandler option) is a 2026 dealer-listed representative of the concrete-spray and utility carrier niche [S2].
Pricing reference points in the same inventory snapshot include a 2015 CAT AD60 (s/n KKNW00129, 28,986 hours) listed at $705,600.00 CAD after a dealer-rebuilt torque converter, transmission and engine, and an Atlas Copco MT42 (2017, 7,544 hours, s/n TMG17URE0305) at $196,500 CAD [S2], giving spec engineers two concrete Tier-1 price anchors for a Q3 2026 capex model. For asset-class context, mining dump truck selection on Tier-1 lots is driven as much by powertrain certification (Tier 4 Final / Stage V) and emissions territory as by payload: the CAT 730 ADT on the same listings pairs a Cat C13, 375 HP, 12.5 L, 2,141 Nm, 6-speed auto-shift with Tier 4 Final / Stage V ratings [S2].
Tier 2: Specialist Production-Support Builders (Getman, Marcotte)
Getman Corporation positions itself as a purpose-built underground production and production-support OEM with over 70 years in mobile equipment, claiming preferred-supplier status with miners on six continents, with a 2026 product portfolio PDF published from the corporate site in February 2026 [S1]. The same page emphasizes serviceability ("from small repairs to total rebuilds") and customer-specific design, both of which are the engineering reasons mines standardise on production-support fleets from a single Tier-2 supplier rather than mixing with Tier-1 haul-truck OEMs [S1].
Dealer inventories independently corroborate that the Getman / Marcotte, JOY Global, MTI, JCI, Wagner, EJC and Jarvis Clark marques still trade actively on the used and reman market alongside Cat, Atlas Copco and Sandvik units, which is the practical evidence that Tier-2 support fleets are kept in service for decades via reman programmes rather than replaced at Tier-1 cycle [S2].
Tier 3: Dealers, Reman Programmes and India-Based Spares Suppliers
Tier 3 of the 2026 competitive landscape is a dense dealer and parts layer, exemplified by miningequipment.net's "In Stock" list (CAT AD30, CAT AD60, DUX DT-5N with Deutz F5L-912W at 67 HP, Eimco 985 with the V8-413 Deutz, DUX DT-26N with Cummins QSM 11 at 400 HP, Epiroc MTT-431B ejector truck, Haulmaster 800-30 with Detroit Diesel S-60 at 425 HP, MTT-2010) [S2]. The same page indexes legacy LHD code-names (ST6C, ST-2D, ST3.5, ST7, ST8, ST-6C, ST-3.5, ST-7, ST-8B, ST-7Z, ST-6N) that engineers still use to spec reman parts a decade after the original production runs ended [S2].
On the spares and accessories side, Vikay Mining Equipment (miningequipment.in) lists as a global India-based supplier for Atlas Copco rock drills, Chicago Pneumatic rock drills, pneumatic drifters, DTH hammers, slim drills, wagon drills (TH and DTH versions), Simba Junior production drills, pneumatic air movers, ventilation fans, slurry pumps, cement injection pumps, plus CP hand drills, clay diggers, chipping hammers, rivet busters, sump pumps, sludge pumps, concrete saws, and brass compression fittings, with the storefront's 2026 copyright line indicating the platform is still live this year [S3]. The Vikay part-number reference use ("All manufacturer's names, numbers, photos, product description and/or part numbers are used for reference purposes only") is a standard aftermarket disclaimer and does not imply OEM affiliation [S3].
Decision Criteria: New Build vs Refurbished vs Parts-Only
Three decision criteria separate the tiers for a 2026 specifier: emissions territory (Tier 4 Final / Stage V is a hard requirement for new Tier-1 builds in most regulated jurisdictions, while reman Tier-1 and Tier-2 fleets are typically grandfathered for underground service hours remaining), hour-meter and rebuild history (dealer-rebuilt engines, transmissions and torque converters are the norm on 15-30 t trucks above ~20,000 hours, as on the AD60 listing [S2]), and parts-ecosystem lock-in (sourcing on the Getman / Marcotte / DUX / Eimco / Wagner lines runs through a smaller set of dealers than the Cat / Sandvik / Epiroc lines, so Tier-2 specifiers carry higher aftermarket concentration risk) [S1][S2].
From a capex-per-tonne-payload standpoint, the data points permit a coarse comparison: a 45 t HX45 with Euro V Mercedes, a 30 t Haulmaster 800-30 reman with Detroit Diesel S-60, a 26 t DUX DT-26N reman with Cummins QSM 11, and a 15 t Eimco 985 reman with the V8-413 Deutz all sit in the same Tier-1-or-Tier-2 envelope of payload and engine architecture, with price separation driven more by hours-since-rebuild and warranty status than by payload alone [S2]. Engineers who need to read adjacent mining capex signals outside the OEM price list can cross-check the 2026 dealer stock turn with the quarry-side crane guide when a site is moving from open-pit to underground, since the same payload-class trucks show up in both references.
Adjacent Equipment: Where the Same Suppliers Cross-Sell
The Vikay / miningequipment.in catalogue intentionally blurs the line between mining, quarry and construction-air-tools by listing Chicago Pneumatic paving breakers, hand drills, clay diggers, chipping hammers, rivet busters and concrete saws alongside Atlas Copco rock drills and DTH hammers, with accessories (air-line oil lubricators, coupling sleeves, moil points, chisel points, shank adapters) common to all three segments [S3]. This cross-sell is the practical reason a 2026 fleet-renewal spec can pull hand-tool and rig-drill spares off a single Indian export PO instead of running two parallel vendor lists, and it is also why the NDT and lighting support equipment specifier sees the same Vikay-style export channel in their own quotes when a mine site is in a remote jurisdiction.
Limitations, Failure Modes and Sourcing Discipline
Two failure modes repeat across the 2026 data: hour-meter and serial-number reconciliation on dealer-reman units, and emissions-certification mismatch when a Tier-4-Final truck is moved into a Stage-V-only jurisdiction or vice versa. The dealer listing for the AD60 explicitly states "Dealer Rebuilt Torque Converter, Transmission and Engine" alongside the serial KKNW00129, and the AD45B listing is sold "Refurbished, Work Ready" with a fixed option list (AWD, SAHR brakes, fire suppression, rear-view camera) [S2], which is the level of disclosure a spec engineer should require in writing before accepting any Tier-1 reman unit. On the parts side, the Vikay reference-use disclaimer is the legal boundary that prevents cross-referencing an OEM part number as a Vikay part number, so buyers must order by OEM code with Vikay as the reseller, not as the manufacturer of record [S3].
Two trackable signals to watch through the rest of 2026: Getman's trade-show schedule page (referenced from its 2026 product portfolio) for new product-line launches, and the miningequipment.net "In Stock" list, which functions as a near-real-time Tier-1 and Tier-2 inventory tape and is updated by the dealer as units move [S1][S2].
