TRAVERSER SYSTEM

Domain	Definition
Mining	The basic idea of this system is to confine the mine-car circuit to the smallest possible compass near the mine shaft. This avoids locking up cars on the surface that are better employed underground and reduces labor requirements. In this system, instead of the use of shunt backs on car circuits, the direction of car travel is changed by running onto a portable platform that then moves the car bodily in a transverse direction. The system can be applied, in conjunction with the necessary lifts, to multideck cages. This system may be operated electrically,hydraulically, or pneumatically. (references)
