Propsetter® for Mining
The Propsetter® Roof Support System is a low cost, high performing, timber roof support solution that is quick to install and provides fast and reliable support. It is ideal for mining areas that require active pre-loading.
Propsetters offer advantages such as improved materials handling, quicker installed support, superior support performance through the first foot of deformation, and a significant reduction in ventilation resistance.
The Strata Propsetter is engineered to yield under load in a controlled manner through
16inches/400mm of deformation as the roof and floor converge. Headboards and footboards are used to distribute the load and avoid punching through the roof and floor.
The Strata PowerWedge and Strata Hydrocells can be used to achieve active pre-loading as needed.
