• Easily Upgradeable - a system's capacity can be doubled by simply doubling the number of trains without additional drive stations; this doubling of capacity can be accomplished at less than 20% of the initial cost.

• Low Capital Cost - lower than other competitive systems.

• No Wasted Energy- drive stations shut down when train not in contact. Sensor starts drive upon arrival of train from previous station and shut down once train has passed.

• No Direct Operator Control- system runs automatically. Drive stations have locking brakes to hold trains in place in event of power failure.

• Extremely Low Operating Cost- bulk materials can be moved at a cost as low as $0.01/tonne-kilometer.

• Allows Multiple Dump Passes- same loop can allow for multiple pick-ups and dumps. For example haul rock from quarry to crushing plant, move crushed material to storage, and return waste material to quarry.
