Abstract. The main shaft device (MSD) is a key component of the mine hoisting system. During lifting, vibration of the system will cause dynamic tension of wire rope at both ends, resulting in the complex stress state at the critical location of the MSD and thus considerably decreasing its service life.
Mining is vertical; and it is deep. Deep can sometimes be very deep. A standard mine typically extracts from between 500m and 2,000m below the surface. Anything deeper …

Utility Hoist and Tugger. The hoists illustrated are two of a large variety available for underground duties. The single drum air hoist is extremely useful for such purposes as operating a skip in a winze or for pulling cars on an incline. This hoist can be equipped with column mounting and can be readily installed for the service required.
Large and medium-sized mines mostly use skip to hoist ore and waste rock. With the increase of shaft depth and hoisting capacity, the one-time loading capacity of skip improves, and the hoisting speed increases. For example, the skip loading capacity of Majuba mine in South Africa reaches 64 tons at one time.
The paper looks at the practical aspect of artisanal shaft sinking utilising picks and shovels and contrasts this method to a shaft design suitable for small scale miners. Discussions are the design characteristic of a small scale shaft, shaft sinking and the timbering process, and methods to hoist broken rock from the shaft.
