skip system
A system used for moving material from a quarry floor to a plant located at a considerable elevation. This system utilizes two parallel inclined tracks with a skip car operating on each track. The cars are operated by cables controlled by a winding gear at the head of the incline. The quarry trucks or cars deliver their loads to the skips through a chute at the base of the incline. A hopper at the top of the incline receives the loads from the skips and feeds the rock to a crusher.
