MESHA® installation handler: faster, safer, fully mechanized

The MESHA® installation handler is a mechanized unrolling device mounted onto standard drilling jumbos or bolters. It is installed on one of the jumbo booms, with the drill and anchoring equipment situated on the other boom. This means the jumbo is fully equipped for unrolling and anchoring the high-tensile MINAX® meshes in a single process. The mesh roll is automatically grasped and unwound along the tunnel profile in both directions (vertically and horizontally); during the process, the installation crew is never exposed to working under unsupported ground. The MESHA® installation handler is compatible with all multi-arm standard drilling jumbos and bolters, making surface stabilization considerably safer, easier, and more economical.
