Loading poles are used for explosive and emulsion loading in drill and blast operations.
They give crews reach and control when positioning product in the blast hole, helping keep hands back from the collar during loading.
These are supplied as complete load pole assemblies. Each assembly is made up of a wooden pole fitted with a single or with multiple ends.
Wooden poles form the main body of the assembly. They’re made from 1 1/4" smooth poplar premium wood and they are lightweight, easy to handle, and common on mine sites.
The ends attach to the pole and handle the working end of the job. They’re used to push explosives into position and help control placement during loading. They can also be used to connect one segment of pole to another to extend its length.
Used for
- Explosive and emulsion loading
- Positioning product in the blast hole
- Reducing direct handling at the collar
- Underground and surface drill and blast work
Load Pole Assembly components
