Fairchild Model 36-29, High Capacity Continuous Haulage System


Recommended seam height: 46" and above

Fairchild Model 36-29, High Capacity Continuous Haulage Detached, 4 x4 System. Equipped with 950 volt AC.

Features Advantages Benefits
Dual articulating 4 x 4 crawlers frames that rotate 180 degrees.  The most flexible system on the market. Maximum maneuverability to negotiate turns reducing place changing time. Reduces place changing  time resulting in high availability and increased production.
Maximum maneuverability moving to or away from the rib. Reduces unnecessary down time due to bridges hung up against rib.
Can tram laterally to push or pull Rapid-Haul rigid rail structure into correct alignment. To reduce unnecessary downtime allowing higher production.
Provides a much lower vertical ground pressure (18 psi) with two (2) bridges attached.  Can operate in 90 degree crosscuts with narrow entry widths. Allows greater maneuverability and higher production in soft floor conditions.  Adaptable to various mining conditions.
Provides a much lower horizontal ground pressure because crawlers turn reducing stress on the mine bottom. Same as above, especially in the belt entry
Design allows each MBC to have 11 ft. more effective reach per operator. Which can allow for fewer MBC's or operator resulting in lower cost and higher profit.
16" wide continuous miner crawler pads. Proven strength. Less downtime and high production.
Lower ground pressure. Greater maneuverability and less downtime in soft floor conditions.
42-5/8" O.D. x 3-1/4" ball bearing rotating crawler frames. Proven strength for long life and low maintenance. Low maintenance cost per ton.
36 inch conveyor. For tonnage capacities from 18 to 40 tpm plus. Higher production and profitability.
Designed to convey larger material. Less downtime and higher production.
Heavy Duty uni-body main frame. Long life strength in toughest of conditions and demand. Less maintenance cost and greater return on investment.
Narrow frame width of 7.5 (8.0 ft. overall)

Narrowest on the market.

 Optimum clearance in belt entry.

Greater clearance in other areas.

 Less downtime and greater availability.
Low 29" stacked height. Lowest 36" system on the market. Compatible in low seams 46" and above. Maximum system flexibility and higher return on investment.
Allows the system to operate productively in low seams with undulating floors. Same as above.
Replaceable conveyor shaft sprockets without removing motors and reducers. Reduces down time. Higher production and lower cost per ton.
Double vertical pivoting on receiving section of MBC's Can prevent roofing out in lower seams. Less downtime.
Allows for better leveling of receiving section. Less spillage and downtime.
1/2-inch wear resistant top and bottom decking. Longer life between redecking/rebuilds. Lower cost per ton.
Modular design. Ease of component change out. Less downtime and more production.
Center operated side saddle operator's cab. Optimum cab design increases operator safety, visibility and comfort. Maximum operator safety and ease of operation.
Dual pilot operated joy stick independent tram controls. Increases ease of operation. Better system performance.
High strength two (2) piece bridge section. Heavy duty design for longer life. Lower cost per ton.
Allows for 30", 35' and 40' bridges which can be field changed. Maximum flexibility and return on investment.
Dual identical 30-HP conveyor motors on each bridge and MBC. Sufficient horse power for the most demanding application. Higher production and less downtime.
Only have to stock one style conveyor motor. Less inventory cost.
2-3/8" heavy duty conveyor chain. Great strength. Less downtime.
Greater strength eliminates need for utilizing fluid couplings on conveyor motors. Less downtime and fewer parts.
