Most rockbolting nowadays is doen with integrated rockbolt jumbos but occasionally rockbolting is done using a stoper drill off a scissor lift truck platform. You can find pictures of scissor lifts on most mining equipment manufacturer websites such as Sandvik, Atlas-Copco and the like.

Thanks for that, but rather than the industrial application, I was referring to the piece of equipment sometimes used by underground explorers for bolting up rises and stope walls...

Raumer Handy bar is what you need.

Its mentioned in "Alpine C*****ing Techniques" and if you do a search over on Ukc*****ing you will find info there.

Sorry to say I probably won't be getting anything for a long while.

Best bet would be to contact them direct, the name is Mara on

Price wise, I cannot make total sense of it, but I think you are looking at 61euro for the complete kit art 144, or separately art 201 and 202 for around 64 euro? Seems very cheap.

Mr Mike.
