This specialised product aims to reduce terminal damage and protect against rock damage, high wall recovery and accidental damage during transport. The FSP cable plug protector saves money that would otherwise have to be spent on replacing expensive cables at the mine site.
Hole Savers
On the mining site after drilling holes for blasting, it is critical dirt and rock does not spill back into freshly drilled holes. That’s where the FSP hole savers come in. They are designed to keep holes clean and open, so the correct charge depth can be achieved. They come in a range of colours and sizes and are easily nestable for transport and space-saving needs.

Wheel Motor Covers
One of FSP’s most popular original products, the wheel motor cover was developed with extensive input from customers.
Designed to eliminate wear and tear on mining trucks wheel motors, the flexible nature of polyethylene means the cover reduces damage from rocks and tyre impact from other mining equipment, which results in prolonged service life of the customer’s equipment. The new and improved quick-release system has a convenient inspection window, making checks faster and easier than ever.
