Vehicle Management & Personnel Safety
Mining safety solutions
Engineered systems that minimise risk in mining environments
Protecting people, vehicles and critical infrastructure
Mining environments involve continuous interaction between mobile plant, personnel, and critical infrastructure. Whether preventing vehicles from entering open voids or providing compliant access for work at height, effective engineering controls are critical to safe and productive operations.
Wilshaw designs, manufactures, supplies and certifies engineered infrastructure that separates people and vehicles from hazards. Our practical solutions enhance safety, ensure regulatory compliance, and promote long-term asset performance.
Product FeaturES
Designed for the realities of underground mining
Vehicle Restraint Systems

Integrated Fall Protection
Integrated fall arrest protection within a single engineered system, supporting personnel safety when working at height.
Engineered Recovery Systems
Purpose-built recovery equipment designed to safely retrieve underground loaders while reducing personnel exposure during recovery operations.
Proven Underground Engineering
Designed around commercially available underground trucks and loaders, with systems engineered, manufactured and tested for demanding mining environments.
Product Range
Purpose-built solutions for underground environments
Supporting safe vehicle movement, recovery operations and work at height, each solution is backed by over 35 years of specialised underground mining expertise.
Bogger Stops
Stope Safety Bollards
Stope Pushers
Stope Pole
Bogger Recovery Unit
Truck Stops
Open hole protection and tip point control for mining trucks
Wilshaw Truck Stops are engineered to accommodate the specific impact loads and geometry of each application, with floor-mounted, wall-mounted or combined configurations available to suit site requirements.
Engineered and designed to AS 3990 / AS 4100
Complies to WA Mines Department guidelines on open hole protection
Customisable to suit both surface and underground applications
Built-in personnel safety fall arrest
Bogger Stops
Open hole protection and tip point control for underground loaders
Wilshaw Bogger Stops are purpose-built barriers for underground loaders working around open holes, providing robust open hole protection.
Designed to endure challenging underground environments
Transportable with various bolting configurations to suit your application
Suits all commercially available loaders
Stope Safety Bollards
A practical and flexible safety solution
Wilshaw Stope Safety Bollards provide a practical solution for restricting vehicle access near stope edges where the installation of a full truck or bogger stop is not feasible.
Rated to withstand impact loads up to 70t
Rigorously tested on WA mine sites
Reusable, relocatable design
Can be used in conjunction with a stope pusher to safety push off into open holes
Stope Pushers
Reducing cleanup risk near open voids
Wilshaw Stope Pushers are a purpose-built attachment designed for safe material cleanup. Engineered to work in conjunction with our stope safety bollards, it allows operators to push and manage broken rock from a safe distance, reducing exposure at the edge while maintaining control over material movement in high-risk zones.
Suitable for Caterpillar, Volvo and Hitachi attachments
Available in lengths up to 6m
Variable blade widths available to suit applications
Complementary design to broader stope system
Stope Pole
Work at heights, without high-risk
Wilshaw Stope Poles are an anchor that drops into pre-drilled holes, using their own mass and geometry to stay in place – no bolting required. Each unit can be designed to suit a two-person fall restraint.
Certified to AS 3990 / AS 4100
Drop in, no bolt design
Rated fall arrest points
Bogger Recovery Unit
For safe and efficient recovery of loaders from underground voids
Wilshaw Bogger Recovery Units are purpose-engineered frames designed for installation within a bogger bucket, providing a dedicated solution for the recovery of immobilised underground loaders.
Load ratings up to 75t
Fixed and adjustable designs available
Designed to suit all underground loader buckets
Configurations available for various towing points
