- controls for activation of the emergency stop system in case of the hoist rope break, overspeeding by 15-25% and manual activation by a brakesman at the mine car or car string movement down the underground working;
- carriages, one of which is provided with a special wheel pair for transmitting of rotational movement to the speed limiter;
- breaking carriage;
- cushion device for smooth breaking and stopping of the mine car;
- rope grip for connection with the traction rope;
- speed limiter for automatic activation of the parachute system when the car speed exceeds the allowed value.
