Product Details

Minova’s Friction Rock Bolt delivers immediate frictional support that strengthens strata at the face and increases anchorage as lateral movement occurs. Designed for hardrock mining, it installs quickly using rotary percussion equipment and works with handheld or mechanised bolting. Our bolts are manufactured from high‑strength steel in accordance with regional steel specifications, and can be hot‑dip galvanised to resist corrosion in aggressive ground or long‑life headings. To match your ground conditions and support patterns, we offer diameters of 33, 35, 39, 46 and 47 mm with standard lengths from 0.5 m to 3 m. When heavier ground demands more capacity, bolts can be post‑grouted with Minova cement grouts, and paired with dome or combi plates to optimise load transfer and mesh retention. The system’s simplicity reduces installation time, supports QA/QC, and enhances overall workplace safety by delivering reliable, immediate support.

Product Features
