Rugged construction

The Warabolter is built for long life. Its chassis is constructed from high strength Bisalloy steel with a yield stress three times than carbon steel. Quality and reliability are driven through smart design choices including strengthened, wider platforms incorporating rib protection, robust track frames and upgraded traction planetary drives.

Large on-board materials pod

Ease-of-operation is the name of the game and the HBT Warabolter has ample materials storage space for quick access to bolting consumables, ensuring uninterrupted operation and maximum productivity. The Bolting Pod can be customized to individual customer requirements.

Mesh handler for safer, faster operation

The Warabolter’s built-in mesh handler makes it easy to manipulate wire mesh panels and quickly and safely bolt them into position, increasing productivity and reducing operator stress and fatigue. The Mesh Handler can be customized to individual customer requirements.

Swift, reliable cable reel system

On-board power is provided via a well-engineered cable reel system. This system is driven by a hydraulic motor with constant tension control and a built-in cable minder that ensures efficient operation and maximum durability while decreasing the potential for cable damage.
