The reinforcement of the shaft usually includes metal horizontal components (buntons) and vertical components (conductors) to ensure the smooth operation of skips and cages. Shafts are constructed by blasthole drilling, boring equipment, and shaft-sinking machinery. A variant of the mine shaft is the blind shaft.
