MacLean Bolter Proven Safety

Quality of ground support ensures everyone

remains safe in the underground environment
Over 30 years production with 400+ Bolters sold
Operating Protocol allows operator the ability to
follow Five Rules of Scaling (MSHA)
Zero fatalities or injuries from fall of ground
while following MacLean Bolting protocol

MacLean Bolter Proven Safety

6000lb net stinging force produces localized ground support triangle

Localized ground support triangle provides expanded level of protection for all aspects of bolt
installation

During the whole bolting cycle the operator is under supported ground

MacLean Bolter Proven Safety

Drilling position is not dependent on back height with MacLean Bolter vs. boom base bolters

Operator elevation promotes safe location from loose rock while drilling on MacLean Bolter

Loose rock has a tendency to projection towards operator on boom base bolters

MacLean Bolter Proven Safety

Operator can easily sound and scale rock conditions following the 5 rules of scaling
and sounding:

RULE #1: USE A BAR OF THE CORRECT LENGTH AND IN GOOD CONDITION

Space on the deck allows easy and secure storage area for all the required scaling bars

RULE #2: HAVE A FIRM FOOTING AND A CLEAR SAFE RETREAT

Deck always provides firm footing without the obstacles of rock on the ground

Deck Entrance and ladder design allows the operator to easily exit the deck area

Scaled material falls away from the operator

MacLean Bolter Proven Safety

Operator can easily sound and scale rock conditions following the 5 rules of scaling
and sounding:

RULE #3: SCALE FROM GOOD GROUND TO BAD GROUND

Natural progression of bolting from deck ensures operator is always under supported ground

RULE #4: WATCH FOR UNEXPECTED FALLS

Elevated platform provides excellent line of slight for operators visual inspection of the heading

MacLean Bolter Proven Safety

Operator can easily sound and scale rock conditions following the 5 rules of scaling
and sounding:

RULE #5: DROP THE BAR IF A ROCK FALLS TOWARDS YOU

Using the leading edge of bolts to install first row of screen ensures rock is deflected away from deck
and scaling bar

MacLean Bolter Prove Safety

The operator has the ability to

safely rehabilitate any area that
has loose rock collected in
existing screen by the mines
preferred method of
rehabilitation:

Debagging of rock collection

Apply additional screen patch

Damaged screen from blasting

operation or breakaways can be
safely repaired with operator
under supported ground

True quality ground support

while always keeping the
operator under support ground

MacLean Bolter Cost Savings

Time Savings with MacLean Bolter vs. Boom Base Bolters

Less bolts required to bolt each heading 1 to 1 hour time savings per
heading

Single Bolt Feed Loading from the MacLean Bolter Deck requires less time
vs. loading multiple bolts into a carousel from a bolt rack located at the
opposite end of the machine to hour time savings per heading

Screen loading and manipulation from the MacLean Bolter Deck produces
more accurate placement in less time vs. installation with the screen
handler of the boom base bolter
