Longwall Mining Equipment Product Line Overview Customized Design Caterpillar is the world leader in longwall roof support technology. In the early 1970s, demanding mining conditions in German coal mines set the stage for extensive RD in roof support technology. Steeply inclined coal seams both thick and thin, weak roofs and massive sandstone roofs, soft floors, and geological faults called for a high degree of customization. Roof SupportsThe resulting expertise has been deployed and applied to all mining areas of the world and provides customers Roof Supports with state-of-the-art technology customized to maximize control of the roof and floor of their longwalls. This not only eliminates downtime resulting from control of the strata surrounding the coal seam; but also facilitates automation of roof support systems, even in very difficult geological conditions. Seamless Range A full range of roof supports are available for mining heights from 550 to 7 500 mm (1.80 to 24.60 ft), with support capacities in excess of 1 750 tonnes. As with all Cat? products, top quality and leading innovation result in products that deliver maximum performance and system availability, long service life, and lowest possible cost of ownership. Two-meter Roof Supports The two-meter-wide roof support offers several advantages over conventional 1.50 - or 1.75 -meter-wide shields. Fewer shields mean lower investment and fewer shields to handle and maintain – and fewer parts to malfunction. Longwalls are easier to steer and relocation is done faster as there are fewer shields to move. Two- meter-wide roof supports Taking the Shearer to the Next Level Your shearer is the most critical part of your longwall production process. That’s why high-performance longwall operations demand shearers that deliver the highest productivity, availability and reliability. Cat shearers were always designed to meet these demands. But Caterpillar has taken them to the next level. ShearerSurvival of the Fittest S
