Hingemesh ^TM Module

The Product

DSI’s Hingemesh ^TM strata control mine module comprises two welded steel wire mesh panels joined together which incorporate a mesh roof strap and loose rock retention mesh. A special feature of Hingemesh ^TM is its ability to fold down to a smaller unit for easy transportability and placement.
