Spillage Mats
Fitted to the box front platform to stop ore overflowing onto the cross cut footwall.
How it works
Eziload's spillage mat is attached to the box front platform and hangs into the hopper while the ore pass is being drained.
It prevents ore overflowing the hopper onto the footwall of the cross cut, so crews don't have to shovel spilled material back into a hopper after each pull.
Why crews choose it
- Eliminates hopper overflow spillage
- Saves shovelling labour after every pull
- Keeps cross cut clear for tramming
