Collapsible Cable Hangers

Printer Friendly Version 		Safety and Health are a Value!


Collapsible/disposable hangers are designed for hanging mining equipment power cable(s) in areas that will eventually be unsafe to travel, more particularly, mobile roof support systems. The collapsible hangers stay in the roof plate and let the cable drop upon cable retraction. This will help reduce exposure to adverse roof by keeping the miner from returning to the hanger to take out the cable.
