Mining is a labor-intensive industry that presents unique environmental challenges and safety concerns. Underground mines with low visibility, heavy machinery, and physical tasks can be dangerous for workers if proper precautions are not taken. The best way to mitigate these risks is to invest in quality products that promise long-lasting performance while reducing the intense physical strain on workers.
Our products that support this industry help provide visibility, ensure worker safety, limit physical exertion and more while also keeping industry tasks efficient and consistent. Limiting downtime and maximizing efficiency is key to keeping business on track while keeping workers protected from any of the dangers in Mining applications.

Armor Wrapped Cable: Strength You Can Trust
In the search for durability, and cable that can handle heavy loads in abrasive environments, look no further than our Armor Wrapped Cable. This standard cable is available in a variety of alloys and constructions and can be manufactured in sizes ranging from 1/16” to 5/16”.
This product begins as a standard cable, but it is then fortified by wrapping and swaging a flat strip of metal around its exterior. This added layer is what provides the added strength, durability and lifespan required for demanding Mining applications. If added protection is required, this product can also be jacketed in a variety of materials, from vinyl to nylon.
The environmental challenges are also no match for this product, with our already durable materials being amplified by the metal shielding. The abrasion and corrosion resistance ensures that malfunction and wear and tear and not a concern with this cable.
Hoisting Application
The main use of our Armor Wrapped Cables in mines is as a strong, durable hoist cable for the heavy loads this industry can present. Rather than demanding intense physical strain on workers to move heavy machinery and various ores or minerals, our Armor Wrapped Cable can handle robust hoisting applications without concerns of malfunction.
Canveyor® Conveyor Cable: Efficiency and Consistency
As in many other industries, efficiency is a key in Mining. Having operations that run smoothly and reliably is crucial to maximizing business and limiting downtime due to repairs or malfunction. Our durable Canveyor® Cable is offered in 302/304 Stainless Steel or Galvanized Steel alloys to ensure the performance you need in the harsh conditions of a mine.
With the amount of hard work required for efficient mine production, and the demands and potential rewards of this industry, our Canveyor® Cable, coated with our Lolon® coatings, is ideal due to its durability and reliability.
Mine Conveyor Belts
To reduce the intense physical exertion in Mining sites, conveyor belts are often used to transport ore, coal, waste rock and more from one location to another. These belts require durable and strong conveyor cables like ours, as large loads of Mining materials can be very heavy. These cables are also not prone to wear and tear or malfunction, helping to prevent potentially dangerous accidents.
Reflexlite® Cable: Alerting to Hazards
With the various hazards already present in the Mining industry, low visibility can cause additional concerns. Heavy machinery and minerals, chemical hazards and explosive hazards being present in low visibility setting is an unnecessary risk.
For these visibility issues in mines, look no further than Reflexlite®. A durable Wire Rope product featuring a 1/8” wide strip of reflective material creates a brilliant series of silver-white dashes reflected directly back to a light source. This product is available in several sizes and color combinations, and is visible from several hundred feet away, making it the perfect hazard alert product no matter where you need it.
Illuminazione di sicurezza per miniere
In this application, Reflexlite® uses more than just its visibility prowess to perform reliably and keep Mining applications as safe as possible. Its working temperature range of –50 to 150°F, and excellent weatherability ensures it remains visible and durable despite environmental challenges in mines. The ease of installation, and size customization also allow for application anywhere in mines, whether it be alerting workers to where a heavy machine is or illuminating a long pathway.
The Durability of Our Products in Mines
A strenuous and demanding industry, cable products used in Mining applications are required to remain durable even in harsh industry conditions. Providing light, hoisting heavy objects and performing reliably in mine conveyor belts helps keep workers safe and maximize efficiency and profits.
