Tailing Dams: Forquilha III – Brazil

By LCS Cable Cranes GmbH

For a major project in South America, LCS was asked to develop a maintenance system using winch technology to allow safe access to the tailings dams around an ore mining area.

So LCS developed this innovative, revolutionary QXcrane system, which is a combination of a cable crane and “SpiderCam” and consists of four towers, four winches and an operator basket.

In the Forquilha III project, the towers were positioned in a rectangle around the defined working area as well as outside the danger zone. The operator basket was connected to the four towers by steel ropes, which – as with the SpiderCam – allows navigation in all three dimensions of the space.
