Safety
- Enhanced access and egress with 45-degree rear-facing electro-hydraulic boarding stair; non-slip stairs, platforms and walkways; non-skid material on roof surfaces; and an additional stair from the platform to the roof for a second means of egress.
- Operator training seat that facilitates safe operator training.
- Safer maintenance with deck-mounted crowd machinery that allows the majority of crowd maintenance to be completed with protection from machinery house deck and stored energy locations that are clearly marked.
- Safety-enhanced electrical system, with high voltage DC bus located in the back of the drive cabinet; centralized control rack that keeps personnel away from high voltage components when troubleshooting; and shielding blocks induced currents that eliminate the need for high frequency bonding.
- Additional safety options including a safety lighting package, remote drum control for safer rope change-out, immobilization cables to ensure ropes wonโt swing when the brakes are set, and fire suppression locations around the machine.
