Expanded Metal Mesh: An Anti-Slip Reinforcement Solution for Off-Road Transport at Mexican Lead-Zinc Mines
2026-06-12
Most lead-zinc mines in Mexico are located in the Sierra Madre mountain range, where the rugged terrain often causes transport vehicles to skid. Stretched metal mesh is used to create anti-slip panels for the underside of vehicle bodies; the diamond-patterned surface increases the coefficient of friction, improving the stability of ore loads by 60%. The aluminium alloy material reduces weight by 50% compared to traditional steel plates, thereby lowering fuel consumption during mountainous transport. On the Durango lead-zinc mine transport route, this solution has reduced the winter accident rate by 45%, making it well-suited to Mexico’s mountainous mining transport environment.
