Transport and handling of long pipes and rails is greatly facilitated by a new HF transport system. The author analyses the performance and economics of the system. Shorter haulage times, higher transport capacities of the overhead monorail system, and a lower susceptibility to accidents are the main advantages of the system. The costs are based on operating cost calculations. HF equipment is found to reduce the costs of mine transport. (ERA citation 12:024471)
