Where the operator works !

 

The operator's view !


This is what the machine's operator sees during his work when bringing the raw coal to the surface. This cockpit-like desk contains all that is needed to operate the machines situated in the tower's "head", 53 metres over the ground. Today hoisting is mostly computer-controlled or at least computer-aided, but the operator has to be present in order to be able to react if an error occurs, for example.
