Playford Heaters: Rosco's Exclusive Global Distribution

Why Electric Shovel House Heaters Fail in Harsh Mining Environments

Electric shovels work in some of the harshest environments on earth: vibration, shock, brutal cold, and years of continuous operation. House heaters that can't survive those conditions become a hidden risk to mining operations and an ongoing drag on mining equipment maintenance.

Operators need heaters that simply don't quit, and a single, reliable source for parts and support across global fleets.
