The objective of this research was to design a method to continuously convey coal from the mining machine to the main haulage belt without requiring additional operators. The multiple-unit continuous haulage system consists of a multiplicity of rubber-tired vehicles on which chain conveyors are mounted. The vehicles are connected together into a train by unique mechanical connecting linkages that guide trailing vehicles in the path of the lead vehicle. The train consists of a staffed lead vehicle that follows the miner, a number of unstaffed vehicles that determine the length of the train, and a staffed discharge vehicle that delivers the coal via a bridge conveyor to a panel belt conveyor special design tailpiece.
