Petitto Mule

• The Petitto Mule was developed in 1978 as a longwall shield retriever for the mining industry.  

• It is primarily used as a swing and extending boom vehicle for the extraction of shields (roof supports) on longwall moves.  

• It is the industry standard for pulling long wall shields. 

• It is also used for general disassembly and reassembly of heavy components underground.

• The Petitto Mule is available in several models that can handle shields in the 16 ton / 35 ton / 50 ton capacity ranges.
