HAGAR DISTRIBUTION
Solutions Overview
Hagar Distribution addresses the unique complexities of mining power through a robust portfolio of control and distribution hardware. We provide the intelligence behind the power, utilizing Deep Sea Electronics (DSE) for complex load-sharing and synchronising of multi-set generator plants. Our solutions integrate ABB Low Voltage switchgear for superior circuit protection and VDO instrumentation for real-time monitoring of engine vitals. By combining these world-class brands, Hagar enables mining engineers to build resilient power networks that can be monitored remotely, ensuring that issues are identified before they lead to catastrophic failure. Our technical team also provides CAD-generated designs and on-site commissioning to ensure every installation meets the specific geographic and operational requirements of the mine.

April 24, 2023Hagar Distribution are a fantastic team, in all the years of doing business with them, they have always gone above and beyond for us. On one particular job they had to manufacture a number of large distribution panels for us under an extreme deadline and managed to get the job done within the time frame. When I’ve been on site and have needed technical support, they have always answered the phone and been able to assist me. Thank you all at Hagar for the outstanding services and after sales technical support. Job well done.
