While positioning the haul truck to dump in reverse, the haul truck operator stopped at the dump edge preparing to dump when the dump floor gave away causing the haul truck to tip.

After the Silver Shaft Hoist was idle for a lengthy time the weight brake would not lift fast enough or high enough to release. A consultant was called in to help diagnose the problem and identified that the brake set regulator pressure was not high enough to engage the brake boost solenoid. The regulator pressure was turned up correcting the problem.

The NP Hoist was found to have a fault from the rope slip sensor. The sensor was checked and not working. The hoist was taken out of service until the sensor could be changed. The sensor was changed, the hoist was inspected, and placed back into service. MSHA was notified on site and via the hotline.

The silver shaft hoist would not clutch in or out on the north side. Mechanics diagnosed that the weight on the hoist rope from pulling muck for a full shift caused the clutch to stick. The Mechanics chaired the cage on top station after emptying the skip to get any residual weight off of the clutch so it would clutch in and out.

The south brake controller on the Silver Shaft Hoist was tripped and would not reset. Electricians diagnosed a failed UPS unit and replaced the unit.
