The powered support М23 consists of two-props sections with four-chain linking system of the basis with the barrier; the rigid-linked ceiling, equipped with the dual-hinged flap visor for simultaneous roofing support and face keeping. To adjust the section in the seam plane and to protect the workspace under the support against small stuff extension boards and pusher-jack installed onto one side are used in the section. It is possible to reinstall boards and pusher-jack onto another side, also to manage them independently separately from both section sides.
Increased resistance of the support ensures the work in thick seams with hard-caving roofing at the upper limit of their extension range.
