It has been proven since 2010 that ‘correctly’ fitted JK Jiggers and JK Keepers can reduce the below costs to Zero. Correct fitting and maintenance will ensure that your mine can achieve these results as well. Simply fill out the flowing questions to see how much your mine could be saving.

Have you ever worked out the true cost of broken handles/fuse dislodgments in your underground power and control boxes?
- What is the replacement handle cost? $___________?
- What is the cost of using your tradespeople on replacing a handle, when you could be using them in a more productive way? One or two hours? $___________?
- What is the cost of using your tradespeople to do something as simple as push in a couple of fuses, a job that could be unnecessary, when you could be using them in a more productive way? Another one or two hours? $___________?
- Now calculate the cost of down time of the Drilling Rigs waiting for the tradesperson to drive down the decline to repair the broken handle or push the fuses back into their bases before the operator can plug in to the power box as per Mining Procedures and Safety Regulations. Another hour or so? $___________?
