Effective mine shaft equipment selection is a key factor in keeping efficiency high and workers protected in underground mining. Our complete and customisable range of headframe and shaft equipment provides the quality needed to deliver mine shaft solutions for repeatable and sustainable performance.
Our arrestor frames for the head frame and shaft sump are designed to create predictable deceleration, bringing the conveyance to a stop in the event of under/overwind situations.
Preventing Damage to Conveyances
Cost Effective
Low Maintenance
Every underground mine offers a distinctive mix of operating conditions. It stands to reason that the systems used in the mine shaft should also be tailored to those conditions. It’s the philosophy behind much of our mine shaft equipment. We don’t crowbar in standard solutions; we work with you to design and deliver systems fit for the application, based on more than a century of experience implementing mine shaft systems. The result? A robust and reliable mine shaft that supports success in all areas – whether that’s safety, efficiency, or productivity.
Whatever else your mine shaft must be, it must first be safe. All our mine shaft equipment puts the safeguarding of personnel and equipment at the heart of its design and operation. Our durable and dependable systems deliver peace of mind, allowing you to concentrate on more productive tasks, safe in the knowledge that, should the worst come, your personnel and equipment are protected by the best the industry can offer.
Our mine shaft equipment is designed to simplify maintenance and extend operating life, reducing the need for replacement. This improves OPEX efficiency, extends operational continuity, and reduces the exposure of personnel to the safety risks involved in maintenance activities.
Our long-lasting head, sinking, compensating, and deflection sheaves are available to suit any rope size and with multiple lining options to match shaft conditions. Made to withstand a load equal to the rope’s breaking strength, we ensure safe and reliable performance with optimal designs for tight space installation. We also supply double-down sheaves for effective rope changes.
Quality guaranteed through thorough testing
Exceptionally long-lasting
Designed to exceed current standards
Customisable to any mine shaft operation, our rope attachments deliver better control, stronger connections, safer rotation, and precise manoeuvring. Our range includes sockets, thimble-type cappels, solid thimbles and clamps, swivels and swivel hooks, glands, guide rope tensioning systems, and fine adjustment hydraulic linkages.
Customisable solutions for all mining applications
Reliable and longer operation
Low maintenance and repair costs
Essential to a mine’s safety, efficiency, and productivity, the mine shaft is the vertical pathway connecting a mine’s underground workings to surface processing facilities. Selecting the right systems here can thus be the difference between success and a daily battle to meet targets. Customisable to the application and site requirements, FLS mine shaft systems cover the complete range of equipment. From the head frame to the shaft bottom, we ensure the mine shaft is up to the job, supporting safe and reliable performance, day in, day out.
Poorly designed or improperly applied guide rollers have costly consequences. Our customisable rollers prevent this, ensuring the right fit through a diverse array of sizes, tires, materials, and mountings. Whatever the shaft conditions, we deliver a guide roller that will last the years without frequent maintenance or adjustment.
Long-term alignment
Optimised to the conditions
Reduced maintenance and repair costs
Safely and efficiently transport personnel, materials, and equipment using our mine shaft cages. We supply all cage types, including service, auxiliary and trailer cages, in a range of sizes and designs to suit your needs. All cages are made from durable and lightweight materials and incorporate reliable safety measures in case of emergency.
Unparallelled safety
Custom designed for the application
Proven technology
Keep occupants secure with our Cage Guardian safety brake. Using engineered steel guides instead of conventional safety catches and timber guides, the brake deploys automatically in the event of a slack rope or rope suspension failure. Simply put, it’s the most trusted safety brake solution in underground mining today.
Meets the strictest mine safety regulations
Incorporates multiple redundant mechanical systems
Usable under all personnel conditions
Before turning ore into profit, it must be transported to the surface, which is where our skips come into play, providing dependable and safe ore conveyance. Our range includes Bottom Dump, Kimberly, Arc-Gate, Sala and Rolachute™ skips. We can also provide tailor-made skips to suit specific conditions and applications.
