Mining Industry

Tough, Dirty, Dangerous – the mining industry includes some of the most demanding applications and is the birthplace of the original air hoist.

Environment Challenges

The underground mining industry combines every aspect of extremes. Dust, dirt, humidity, and the need to maneuver in tight spaces – lifting, dragging, and oblique pulling are all key operating conditions.

Safety is the most important challenge, as there is no room for error. Explosion protection, prevention, and spark resistance are of the utmost importance.
