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.
