NORMET RBO

Normet RBO – designed for underground use

Until now the personell and equipment in underground working

sites have been transported with vehicles not designed for
underground use, such as cars and tractors. In most cases,
however, the vehicles have proven not to endure the extreme
underground conditions.

Ultimate underground vehicle

Normet RBO is the first transport vehicle designed specifically for underground management and
equipment transportation.  It is truly the ultimate underground vehicle: as robust, safe and powerful as a
hard core working machine and at same time at least as nimble and comfortable as any SUV.
