Manriding refers to the mechanical transportation of workers within a mine, as opposed to walking. It covers any approved system designed to move personnel safely along drifts, inclines, or shafts, including specialized mine cars, customized conveyor belts, or chairlifts. Strict safety regulations govern these systems, requiring dedicated braking mechanisms and speed limits to protect crews during shift changes.

Make sure the manriding cars are inspected and tagged before the day shift heads down the decline.
