Mine Hoist Communication System

 

Advance underground communication technology engeneered for deep mine hoist applications where reliability is critical

 

Lucky Friday Mine

Advanced Mine Communication Technology

After two years of intensive research and development, McKee Communications engineered a precision Toroid System capable of transmitting voice, high-speed data, and video over a single hoist cable — enabling real-time communication at depths approaching 6,000 ft. (1,828 m), more than one mile (1.6 km) underground.

One of the greatest challenges was developing and refining the specialized Toroid materials and signal transmission methods required to reliably carry multiple forms of communication through demanding underground hoist environments.

 

Designed For:

 

  • Mine hoists
  • Shaft sinking operations
  • Underground access systems
  • Personnel cages and skips
  • Industrial hoist applications

320 CraneCom System


320 CraneCom System

Fail-Safe Hardwired Communication for Crane Operations

The 320 CraneCom system is a hardwired, interference-free communication solution specifically engineered for crane operations in construction and industrial environments. Designed to meet or exceed OSHA and C-DAC regulations, the system ensures uninterrupted, crystal-clear communication between the crane operator and ground signal personnel—dramatically improving jobsite safety, coordination, and efficiency.

🔧 System Components

  • 1 Master Unit – Installed with the crane operator, housed in a rugged die-cast aluminum enclosure for extreme durability.
  • 3 Remote Phone Units – Deployed with signalmen or floor personnel. Each phone uses high-impact nylon plastic for tough jobsite conditions.

🔌 Key Features

  • Hardwired Reliability – Immune to radio interference, dropped signals, and battery failure.
  • Fail-Safe Operation – If a cable is damaged or disconnected, the system instantly alerts the user.
  • Extended Cable Runs – Each phone unit can be connected with up to 1,000 feet of communication cable.
  • Full-Duplex Audio – Enables clear two-way voice communication without the need for push-to-talk (PTT).
  • Simple Setup – No programming or syncing required. Plug-and-play with standard cable terminations.

⚠️ Why Hardwired?

Unlike walkie-talkies and wireless systems, the CraneCom provides:

  • Guaranteed continuous communication — no “keying up” or holding buttons.
  • No battery failures or signal collisions — vital in high-noise and high-risk zones.
  • Compliance with OSHA 1926.1419(f) & (g) — ensuring legal operation standards are met.

📦 Typical Applications

  • High-rise tower cranes
  • Construction hoists
  • Precast panel lifting
  • Industrial plant cranes
  • Offshore and marine lifting operations
