Mining carts are small, wheeled vehicles used in underground mines to transport minerals, ores, and other materials. They are typically made of metal and designed to run on tracks, allowing for easy movement through tunnels. Mining carts can vary in size and capacity, depending on the specific needs of the mine. These carts are often pulled by locomotives or pushed by miners, making it easier to move heavy loads. Some mining carts are equipped with tipping mechanisms, allowing for quick unloading of materials at the surface or processing areas. Their design has evolved over time to improve efficiency and safety in mining operations.
