The more widespread use of purpose designed
and built mechanised scaling units is encouraged.
These robust units have been specifically designed
for heavy duty work in the hazardous role of
removing potentially unstable blocks from wide
and/or high excavations. The use of mechanised
scaling equipment should be an integral part of
the mining cycle.

Dedicated Scaler
SAFETY
Scaling is one of the more hazardous underground mining processes. Scaling activities are frequently performed in areas with unsupported
back, rib and face rock surfaces. Inherent in the process of scaling is the presence of loose material that can dislodge from the rock
surface and injure workers or damage mining equipment. Because of the dangers, proper mechanized scaling methods and equipment
are critical to safety and productivity in the mining process. Getman purpose-built scalers are designed and built to perform rigorous
scaling activities safely and effectively. Dedicated scaling machines incorporate specific features designed to protect the scaler operator
that may not be present in non-scaling equipment.
Rock drill rigs are NOT designed specifically for scaling, and when used during scaling operations significant damage and downtime
can result from rock falls and improper utilization of the drilling rig machine. Using drill rigs as scaling machines can result in direct and
indirect costs including:
Unnecessary overuse of drill consumables, including: bits, rods, couplings and adaptors
Excessive boom maintenance caused by rock fall damage
Decreased productivity as a result of drill rig down time caused by rock fall damage
Reduced development advance or production tonnage caused by improper drill rig utilization or down time
The use of a dedicated mechanized scaler unit avoids the costs associated with drill rig scaling. The efficiency and productivity of
dedicated and purpose-built scalers allows for more complete and efficient scaling operations, and minimizes lost time resulting from the
introduction of additional equipment to the mining cycle.
Finally, in multiple heading situations it is possible to use numerous pieces of equipment simultaneously in different headings and stages
of the production cycle. Dedicated mechanical scalers enable utilization of drill rigs in different headings while the mechanical scaler
performs scaling functions, increasing drill rig utilization.

Internal gear rotator provides up to 180 of rotation
Multiple pick variations available depending on scaling heights

SCALING BOOM
High-strength, reinforced 500mm x 500mm rectangular Replaceable bushings in main boom pivot
section, telescopic boom Hydraulic hoses are supported below boom to minimize
Roller tracking system that captures the inner boom section exposure to falling rock
Six (6) robust eccentric roller bearings which can be adjusted Falling material over the boom is deflected to the ground
quickly without any disassembly instead of sliding down the length of the boom
Inner boom sections stay centered to avoid rubbing contact Three versions (20ft, 24ft, 30ft) to optimize boom reach and
Boom extension cylinders located inside the boom to minimize coverage for the actual dimensions of galleries (CSS only
damage and wear available with 20ft boom)

Narrow Section Scaler
The Getman S3120 Scaler provides unsurpassed safety and
productivity when scaling in drift settings narrower than 5.5m (18ft).
The turret-mounted boom allows the articulated S3120 chassis to
remain straight during scaling operations. This enables scaling in
narrow drifts and stopes, while the rear-mounted operator station
keeps the operator far removed from the scaling area.
DESIGN OPTIONS
Hydrodynamic drive components for greater maneuverability Hydraulic hammer with isolated hydraulic system to prevent
Boom turret allows 50 of slewing range to scale ribs in main-system contamination
narrow sections 90 rotating seat providing optimum forward facing scaling
Designed for galleries up to 5.5m (18ft) wide and 7.0m (23ft) position and side facing reverse-tramming position for
high improved visibility, safety and comfort (see below)
Front push blade ensures machine stability while scaling
When shifting the transmission into reverse the push blade
automatically lifts for emergency evacuation
