Description
Getman Mechanical Scalers are a key component of maintaining safe and productive working environments in underground operations, performing the necessary scaling task safely and effectively through a purpose-built design philosophy. Mechanical scaling is the safest way to bring down loose material from back and rib surfaces.
Scaler components include an operator compartment removed from the scaling area at the far rear of the machine and a secure chassis that does not require stabilizers, making any necessary emergency maneuvers possible in a single-step operation. The optimized line of sight to the scaling area improves visibility and operational effectiveness, while the cabin is rubber-mounted onto the chassis to reduce vibration transfer to the operator.
The S324 Mechanical Scaler has an optimal roof scaling coverage range of 3 m to 8 m (10 ft to 26 ft) and an optimal rib scaling coverage range from 0 m to 8 m (0 ft to 26 ft). The single extension boom allows an advance over 4 m (13 ft) from a single setup, while Getman’s scaling brake package allows for easy boom movements throughout the scaling process.
