Tunneling

Wimmer has been a supplier to the tunneling industry for 35 years now. Five years ago, the Blue Badger, the first tunnel boring machine, was launched on the market.

The Blue Badger is a tunnel excavator designed for smaller tunnel cross-sections from 3.5 meters. With the yellowFOX, the next size of tunnel excavator is now available. The excavator is designed with a stronger undercarriage, the platform is built by Liebherr. 

On all Wimmer tunnel excavators, the tunnel driving arm can be swiveled 45° to the left and right and is extremely robust in order to meet the requirements of underground mining.
