Historically, the methods for removing the muck after shaft sinking have been tedious and manual. Cactus grab systems are slow and require specific rock sizes to work adequately. Other mucker systems are often unreliable, requiring frequent boom repairs that halt production.

• Self-cleaning design that ensures rocks clean out at the end of the main cylinder
• Center tubes made with specialty materials for greater durability
• Replaceable bushings and grease fitting for ease of maintenance (all pins are inspected and NDT)
• Heavy-duty shock absorbers for the bucket cylinders for increased reliability
