Nordberg hoist. Two 74S-kW (l,000-hp) de motors, power supply, and controls were purchased new from ABB. The hoist is automatic, and the hoistman is stationed about l.S km (1 mile) away at the No. 1 shaft. The hoist lifts the ore from the new skip loader approximately 290 m (9SO ft) to a point where it is discharged into the new 900-tonne (1,000•t) mass flow ore bin. This hoist uses 41-mm (15/e-in) ropes, 13-tonne (14-t) capacity skips, an Ultimate Hoist Monitor from ABB, and Nordberg hydraulic braking controls.
