Abstract: The article discusses the urgent issue of the need to develop and create a test bench for conducting research on scale models of a geokhod. Geokhod represent a promising class of mining equipment. The scientific and practical significance of the study is due to the fact that modern computer modeling methods do not fully provide a reliable assessment of the behavior of a geokhod in real mining and geological conditions, since they are based on simplified models of the geological environment. The analysis of existing approaches to testing geokhod revealed the disadvantages of field and bench methods, including difficulties in maintaining the stability of the geo-environment, the high cost and labor costs of building stands, as well as limited opportunities to quickly change the test conditions. A solution is proposed, which consists in creating a laboratory stand designed for testing large-scale models of geokhod. Models of the geokhod and its testing systems will be manufactured using three-dimensional printing technologies. Such a stand should provide the possibility of modeling various parameters of the geo-environment (density, humidity), visualizing the interaction of model elements with the environment, as well as equipping measuring and recording devices. Special attention is paid to the convenience of replacing test samples and adapting the stand to different research tasks. It is noted that the creation of this stand will improve the accuracy and visibility of experimental data necessary to improve the design of both individual nodes and the geokhod as a whole. This, in turn, helps to speed up design processes, reduce prototype development costs, and increase the competitiveness of domestic mining equipment
