To Phil Goddard, I now think it is a telehandler used in scaling. "Pegasus 38.16" was in another line of the list, and then it was repeated with the word "Acuñador" added.

The Pagasus 38.16 is a telehandler that can be fitted with forklifst, scoops (busckets) or equipment used for scaling.

A true scaler is this:

The Pegasus 38.16 is a telehandler or telescopic forklift. Isn't that your answer?

scaler

There's a description here:
http://www.sitonchina.com.es/mine-scaler.html
El acuñador minero durante las operaciones mineras subterráneas borra las piedras pómeces rotas e inestables en el techo y los costados a fin de garantizar la seguridad de los operaradores y los equipos. En la minería extranjera se inventó el acuñador minero basándose en el acuñador manual, que realizó la mecanización de trabajo barreteado.

Mechanical scalers:
Scaling is one of the more hazardous underground mining processes. Scaling activities are frequently performed in areas with unsupported back, rib and face rock surfaces. Inherent in the process of scaling is the presence of loose material that can dislodge from the rock surface and injure workers or damage mining equipment. Because of the dangers, proper mechanized scaling methods and equipment are critical to safety and productivity in the mining process.
