Your Solution Finder in the Mining Sector

Whether it’s about transporting loads in or out of mining pits, or handling maintenance, servicing, and monitoring activities at tailings ponds or conventional dams in mining operations, LCS provides the ideal solution.

  • Unlike transport solutions that depend on ramps, haul roads, and truck traffic, the LCS cable crane solution significantly reduces the need for ground-based infrastructure. Overloaded haul roads can be relieved, the number of required truck trips reduced, and logistical processes made safer. Material flow remains stable and predictable even under demanding topographic and climatic conditions.

Our Cable Crane System

01

When it comes to precise loading and unloading along the entire route and yet high travel and working speeds are required, our cable crane systems are used. They provide the direct connection between loading and unloading point and thus ensure independent continuous transport logistics. Our cable crane systems can also be used in any climatic conditions and are not influenced by the weather pattern.

Our Dual Cable Crane System

02

Open mining pits place the highest demands on logistics and supply reliability. Steep terrain, lack of infrastructure, and overloaded or partly hazardous haul roads make conventional, road-based logistics frequently complex, costly, and risky. This is exactly where the LCS Dual Cable Crane System comes in: it establishes a direct, independent, and continuous connection between loading and unloading points – ensuring reliable transport of materials, machinery, and personnel in and out of the mine pit.

Unlike transport solutions that depend on ramps, haul roads, and truck traffic, the LCS cable crane solution significantly reduces the need for ground-based infrastructure. Overloaded haul roads can be relieved, the number of required truck trips reduced, and logistical processes made safer.
Material flow remains stable and predictable even under demanding topographic and climatic conditions – the system operates weather-independently and can be deployed in terrain with slopes of up to 70°.

Comprehensive Coverage

Parallel Cable Crane System

03

During the reclamation of mining pits, large quantities of material must be moved safely, precisely, and economically over long distances – often under difficult topographic conditions and without the possibility of conventional haul roads.

The LCS Parallel Cable Crane System offers a powerful and flexible solution for this. The machine side and opposing side can be moved independently across the crane axis – the working area thus forms a rectangle, whose width depends on the length of the parallel track.

The LCS Parallel Cable Crane System is based on proven technology from ThyssenKrupp AG – LCS has held exclusive marketing and manufacturing rights worldwide since 2020. In addition to mining, the system has also proven itself in dam and bridge construction.

Our Luffing Tower Cable Crane System (LTCC)

04

Our luffing tower cable crane system ensures continuous transport logistics, independent of ambient conditions. By covering three dimensions, a large working area can be reached with just one system. 

The transport routes between the loading and unloading point are direct, so that a large transport volume can be achieved in a short period of time. Even with poor access to the working area the system can be used without restriction. The system is operated by only one person from the central control station outside the working area.

LCS Sediment-Management-System

05

The LCS sediment management system offers a logistically optimized solution for continuous sediment removal – even under demanding topographical and ecological conditions.

Thanks to the LCS cable crane solution, rigid ground-based transport infrastructure can be eliminated for onward transport, minimizing interventions in the landscape and the environment.

As part of a holistic sediment management concept, sediments are collected and containerized. The LCS cable crane solution takes over the
central logistical task, integrates seamlessly into existing extraction solutions, and forms a clear interface between sediment extraction and disposal.

Personnel Safety Systems

06

If the terrain is unstable and/or entering the work area is life-threatening, then a solution is needed that allows workers safe access and safe working. This solution should enable movement within the work area but evacuate personnel immediately in case of danger. Our new, revolutionary QXcrane system is exactly the right solution in such cases.

The challenge

During maintenance and monitoring activities on tailings dams or a conventional dam in mining, for maintenance personnel, entering the work area for these activities can be life-threatening due to dam breaches or earth movements. Therefore, in order to be able to carry out this work, a personnel safety system is needed that allows safe access for maintenance personnel. However, the system should not be located and/or supported within this danger zone.

Solutions and applications

Workers entering the danger zone are secured to the operator’s basket by means of personal safety winches. The operator’s basket is connected to the towers, which are positioned outside the danger zone, by steel ropes and enables the worker to navigate and thus work safely within the defined area.

The system is operated by an operator in the basket. The operator in the basket can observe and monitor the entire working area and pull up and rescue workers in case of an emergency, such as a dam failure or earth movement. Workers on the ground can also activate this emergency function to be evacuated from the danger zone.
