Monorail Conveyor Belt Advance and Structure Installation System for Underground Mining

摘要

The present invention provides a method of installing a conveyor belt in an underground mine comprising the steps of installing a monorail in the mine, mounting at least two conveyor belt cradles on said monorail, coupling at least two of the conveyor belt cradles by a chain of predetermined length, coupling a conveyor belt to said conveyor belt cradles, coupling at least one conveyor belt cradle to an end roller, and moving the end roller to a predetermined point in the mine, wherein said moving the end roller pulls the conveyor belt cradles apart by the predetermined length, positioning the cradles in a desired location in the mine.
