  • Mine Shaft Signaling  & Loading Systems

    Eaton's FHF-BT designs, engineers, and manufacturers a full range of harsh and hazardous electrical communication and automation solutions for the mining industry.

    With industry-leading technologies, we develop pioneering solutions for mining in the areas of data acquisition and transmission, control, telephone and power supply technology.

Shaft Safety and Efficiency

As the principle access route in increasingly complex mining sites, reliable and fast communication is key for safe and efficient operations.

Our Shaft Signaling System is a fully integrated data and speech system for continuous control and monitoring of all shaft activities. From facilitating the communication between all shaft levels, the control room and the hoist driver, this ensures the safety of people and infrastructure, including the cage and skip.

The system includes an emergency stop and interlock function with a safety coupler (SIL 3), offering unparalleled redundancy and reliability to help protect your people and processes.
