Abstract
Mobile ropeways formed by mobile transport and reloading rope complexes (terminal stations) on the basis of self-propelled wheeled chassis of high load capacity and cross-country ability are a promising type of transporting equipment for use in many branches of industrial production and maintenance – construction and mining industry, forestry and agriculture, elimination of the consequences of natural and man-made disasters, etc. The article develops a classification of self-propelled terminal stations based on such features as the location of the key element of the main technological equipment — the end tower of the rope system — on a wheeled chassis and the type of its fixation in the working position during the operation of the mobile ropeway. As promising variants of the structural design of mobile transport and technological rope complexes, options with an end, central and remote arrangement of the end tower; with hydraulic, rope, rope-hydraulic and rod types of fixing the end tower in the working position; with the installation of the end tower in the working position directly by a lifting hydraulic cylinder, using a folding rod and two-stage lifting are proposed. A brief description of the designs and the principle of operation of a large number of modifications of self-propelled terminal stations of various listed variants of the structural design of mobile rope complexes is given when preparing them for operation and during operation itself. A comparative analysis of the considered variants of mobile rope complexes is carried out on the basis of taking into account their main design and technical and economic characteristics, which made it possible to formulate both advantages and disadvantages of different design options.
