在過去沒有">履帶式鉆車的情況下基本都是人工或者采用單立柱架立柱式鉆探機進行工作的，如今許多煤礦業都開始運用履帶式鉆車了。它的發展不單單是提供的便利，更給煤礦業領域提供的巨大的收益，是的任務量的降低，人力用工成本的下降。相信在不久的未來，架立柱式鉆探機將被淘汰，履帶式鉆車將會成為新的發展目標，尤其是氣動履帶式鉆機，更加是礦上不可或缺的設備。

氣動履帶式鉆機是一類以壓縮空氣為驅動力，配備有履帶式行駛作用的輕式深孔鉆機。它主要是由底盤總成、履帶總成、油箱總成、操控總成、驅動總成、立柱總成、服務器總成、膠管總成等部位構成，具備全 方位打孔等優勢。這類履帶式鉆機能夠打探放水打孔，抽采瓦斯孔，底板卸壓孔，頂板切縫孔，地質勘查孔，煤礦暴破孔節約時間不費力，工作效率高。
