The Abacus headframe offers flexibility through the opportunity to add a latching mechanism to the headframe, enabling it to be supported while raised and removing strain on the stainless steel cables, for long term benefits.
Step 1
Latch engages when mobile headframe is raised towards mast head.
Step 2
Once mobile headframe has docked, latch engages, raising a flag confirming to the operator that it’s secure.
Step 3
Mobile headframe is raised to disengage latching, before being lowered to ground level for maintenance.
