Tech/Engineering - Mining & Minerals / Gems
English term or phrase: drop cut
Safety manual for a mining installation

***Drop cut*** means the shovel is digging downhill beginning a new bench.
It takes a lot of skill and patience to maintain the correct grade and keeping trucks backed in as flat as possible.
One side loading means the ***drop cut***, new bench is narrow in the beginning and there is not enough width to allow trucks to load on both sides of the shovel.
