TENDENCY OF APPLYING LHD MEHANIZATION IN MINING WORKINGS

Abstract

Changed working conditions in deep mining workings (underground rooms of a mine) havc lead, by application of diesel driven mechanization to the tendency of introducing the eleetric LHD machines in mines. However, although the flexibilily of electric mining machines has been improved due to the efforts of factories producing mining machines, the diesel units are still more flexible in application, although their maintenance in pit drives is more exspensive (the paper is published in Croatian).
