Abstract: Cable bolting is rapidly increasing in popularity in underground mines as safety standards are raised and 
mining environments become more challenging. Traditional hand installation of cables can be time 
consuming, exposes personnel to unnecessary risks and has the potential for manual handling injuries. 
Mechanised cable bolting machines are gaining wider acceptance as the safety, efficiency and quality 
benefits associated with them are being realised by mine operators. This paper discusses the advantages and 
limitations associated with the use of mechanised cable bolt rigs in underground mines.
