Mine Poles

Yozgat and its surroundings have been known for mining for centuries; Akdağmadeni takes its very name from it. Timber is still indispensable in pit support: it is easy to carry, cut and fitted on the spot, and it warns by sounding under load.

We choose our mine poles from straight-bodied pines, debark them and prepare them in the length and diameter range the operation asks for. For operations with a regular need we can tie the deliveries to a monthly plan. The length and diameter range is all we need for a quote.

Why choose pine mine poles?

Thanks to their straight-grown trunks and light weight, pine mine poles are among the easiest support materials to carry into a pit and set. Their fibres are long and flexible, so they do not snap suddenly under load; they bend first, crackle and give the crew time. This is why timber is still trusted by those who work underground.

Debarked poles slow the growth of insects and fungi in the pit and dry faster on the surface. For support that will stay a long time you can also consider treated poles. If you share details such as the depth of the pit, the width of the gallery and the spacing of the supports, it is easier for us to suggest the right length and diameter range.
