A Retractable Guidance System for Mine Shaft HoistsAuthor(s): Pawe? Kami?ski\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9781032112756, 978-1032112756\nSynopsis\nRope guidance of conveyances is commonly used in shafts of underground mines in numerous countries on almost every continent. This safe and economical way of guiding skips and cages does have one disadvantage, however, which is especially troublesome in the conditions present in the Polish mining industry. Rope-guided conveyances require additional support at mine levels, while shafts of Polish coal mines usually operate on many levels. Additional stiff guidance at mine levels used as a support negatively affects the effectiveness of rope-guided hoisting systems.\n\nThe retractable guidance system was originally introduced at the 960 m level in the Leon IV shaft of the Rydu?towy coal mine in Rydu?towy (currently ROW mine, Rydu?towy department), Silesian voivodeship, Po.
