Wireless Dozer Stop Switch

Enhancing Safety for Miners on Coal Stockpiles

Coal stockpiles present one of the most serious hazards in mining: a dozer unexpectedly falling into a hidden feeder cavity. Protecting operators in these critical moments requires fast, reliable, fail-safe emergency shutdown technology. 

The BWI Eagle Wireless Dozer Stop Switch provides operators with instant control directly from the cab. With the push of a button, the system stops the feeder and alerts emergency personnel. Its full-duplex handshake link ensures continuous communication up to 4,500 feet and automatically halts the feeder if the link is broken, even during power loss or signal interruption. 

Engineered with 900MHz spread spectrum technology, the system maintains secure, interference-resistant communication and can monitor up to eight dozers simultaneously. Integral high-current relays enable seamless integration with plant equipment, while onboard LEDs confirm safe operation and build operator confidence. 

Designed specifically for mining environments, the BWI Eagle Dozer Stop Switch delivers the industry’s most reliable, fail-safe protection for dozer operators working on coal stockpiles with underground feeders.
