Certain types of conveyors require fail-safe brakes for stopping. These conveyors, often used in the mining and aggregate industries, include downhill conveyors (e.g., discharge and transfer conveyors), as well as overland conveyors with downhill sections. Not having fail-safe brakes on these types of conveyors can result in catastrophic damage if power is lost.
