ABSTRACT:
A man crossover for belt conveyors used in underground mines, the conveyors comprising spaced groups of belt-supporting rollers connected along each side of the conveyor by cables, comprises a light-weight frame and deck spanning the conveyor belt and supported above the upper flight thereof on the side cables. The supporting member at each end of the man crossover rests on its cable and is contoured to fit over it. The supporting members are locked in place on the cables with removable fittings. The man crossover deck is provided with handrails on each side. A man using the man crossover grasps the handrails with both hands, leans over the man crossover on his stomach and pushes himself onto the deck with his feet. He pulls himself over by the handrails swinging his legs around to the other end, and slides off, feet first.
