false gate

A gate carried forward in the seam thickness only (which must be over 3 ft or 0.9 m), with cut-throughs as required to the main gate. The false gate has a short conveyor that 1153 takes the face conveyor coal and delivers it to the main gate conveyor through a crosscut a short distance behind the face. This layout enables the main gate rippings to be worked on three shifts.
