Mining
Hard, dirty, dangerous – the mining industry involves some of the most demanding applications and is the birthplace of J.D. Neuhaus’s original pneumatic hoist.
Since 1953, we have continuously improved and updated our product range, resulting in thousands of JDN pneumatic hoists successfully used worldwide in underground mining.
Challenges
Underground mining combines the most extreme requirements for lifting systems. Dust, dirt, moisture, and confined spaces characterize daily operations, while lifting, pulling, and inclined pulling of loads are critical for workflow.
Safety is paramount, as there is no room for error in these environments. Therefore, explosion protection and spark safety for hoists and trolleys are essential. Our solutions ensure maximum operational safety, reliability, and efficiency, even under the harshest underground mining conditions.
Advantages and Benefits
With decades of experience, J.D. Neuhaus develops and manufactures hoists specifically for the demanding requirements of the mining industry. Our pneumatic and hydraulic drives are explosion-protected, spark-free, require no electricity, and are suitable for vertical, horizontal, and inclined pulling.
The compact and robust design guarantees 100% duty cycle with minimal maintenance and ensures long-term value creation. Proven under extreme conditions with dust, moisture, and confined spaces, J.D. Neuhaus provides maximum safety, reliability, and efficiency in mining.
Top Applications in the Mining Industry
- In the face: positioning of shield support elements
- Stationary: lifting and lowering of work platforms
- Horizontal shafts: in combination with lifting beams for suspended material transport
- Vertical shafts: handling a variety of goods
- Used as general lifting and pulling tools in plants and repair workshops
- Removing shields and props
- Routine on-site tasks
- Belt tensioning operations
- Lifting/pulling stuck front loaders
- Special applications with capacities up to 100 t to secure vertical full-profile drilling machines
