Mine Shuttle Car Operators

Control conveyors that run the entire length of shuttle cars to distribute loads as loading progresses.

Move mine cars into position for loading and unloading, using pinchbars inserted under car wheels to position cars under loading spouts.

Drive loaded shuttle cars to ramps and move controls to discharge loads into mine cars or onto conveyors.

Guide and stop cars by switching, applying brakes, or placing scotches, or wooden wedges, between wheels and rails.

Push or ride cars down slopes, or hook cars to cables and control cable drum brakes, to ease cars down inclines.
