ABSTRACT
The determination of the basic, functional parameters and the design values of the mining equipment that can be efficiently used underground, must be made in close connection with the technological mining factors. The useful volume is the main parameter that characterizes the working potential of the silo-wagons in certain conditions and it influences decisively the other design values and functional parameters. In turn, it depends on the maximum load of the silo-wagons given by the condition of resistance to bending of the 13.75 kg/m type rail.
