Scissor Lift for Underground
Mine Maintenance
Putzmeister’s new MINELIFT 4 scissor lift
platform has a lifting height of 4 m (13 ft)
and 4-metric ton capacity, providing a
mobile and secure working platform for
load and personnel lifting. According to
the company, the MINELIFT 4 can be ideally
configured for installation of water, air,
drainage, and tailing pipes in underground
mines. It incorporates a drop-wing platform
extension that expands by 700 mm
(27.5 in.), providing a work surface of
3,400 x 2,550 mm (134 x 100 in.). Its
high-capacity crane allows pipes to be lifted
easily and safely, and its pipe handling
system with two independent telescopic
arms, each with a load capacity of 300 kg
(660 lb), is capable of handling pipes
from 4–8 in. dia (100–200 mm). For ventilation
installation, MINELIFT 4 is available
with an auxiliary lift platform that
provides a load capacity of 2,500 kg
(5,500 lb) and raises 1,100 mm (43 in.)
from the main platform. MINELIFT 4 features
heavy-duty axles and four steering
and driving wheels, powered by a 6-cylinder
130-kW (174 hp) engine. It also features
a FOPS/ROPS certified driving cabin
designed to reduce operator fatigue and
increase productivity, and is equipped
with LED work lights mounted on the platform
and the vehicle. It can be delivered
with an optional enclosed, air-conditioned
and heated cab upon customer request.
