OSG 5 Rockfall Protection System
The OSG 5 Rockfall Protection System was developed to afford adequate protection to face workers in the event of a rockfall. It consists of a hinged shield that is moved hydraulically against the face. The OSG 5 can be integrated or retrofitted in all roadway support machines and support-setting devices.
Advantages:
- Automatic safety during support placement and drilling work
- Remains under tension even when the work platform is subsequently moved
- Movements of rock from the face are monitored with a marked pressure manometer
- Quick and easy to retrofit on all roadway support machines and support‑setting devices
- Robust design suitable for mining applications
