International Conference on Hoisting and Haulage  

                      
     


 

“Hoist and Haul” is the latest in a series of International Conferences on Mine Hoisting and is held every five years. The next conference is to be held in Las Vegas on the North American Continent in September 2010.

“Hoist and Haul ” covers systems or technology associated with the handling of ore from the point of extraction in the underground mine to the stockpiling on surface. The Conference will also include a focused trade exhibition and local tours. The program encompasses a wide range of topics including shaft hoisting, incline and drift hoisting, conveying, underground rail haulage, tramming and truck haulage.

System and component design, rope technology, maintenance and inspection of hoisting systems as well as economic aspects and safety systems are all topics which will be addressed during the conference. A broad cross-section of renowned international speakers, all of whom have been involved in projects across the globe, will be assembled to present papers addressing relevant topics.

By attending the “Hoist and Haul” Conference delegates will be presented with information on the latest state-of-the-art developments and technologies in the shaft hoisting and underground transportation component of the underground mining world. The Conference will provide the perfect opportunity for delegates to network with international mining experts and colleagues in this dynamic field.
