What We Do

Safety-driven, durable cable protection for mining

At Oilsands Shovel Products Ltd., we specialize in high-performance cable protection systems designed exclusively for electric rope shovels. While many shovel operations use hard-faced components such as HF with rope overlays for durability in abrasive conditions, it’s often the accessory tools that ensure day-to-day safety and uptime. Our products are built to withstand the extreme conditions, preventing cable wear, extending equipment life, and improve on-site safety.

With 85+ units always in stock, we’re known for fast, reliable fulfillment, because mining operations can’t afford to wait three weeks for delivery.

Testimonials

Real feedback from the field – learn why our clients choose us again and again.

“This is the best product that Suncor has had in the ten to twelve years of using these products.”

“I’ve dropped these things from 40 feet, squashing it into the ground with the shovel bucket, and it just pops right back up.”

“Utility personnel say they feel more safe with them because of the rubber hose coating that saves them from cable wires poking out into their hands and damaging the high-voltage cable.”
