This paper focuses on a study concerned with estimation of the platform motion at the lower loading station in the Trucklift slope hoisting system with varying profile of track. The TruckLift slope hoisting system is an innovative transport technology for open-pit mines, and considerably accelerates and cheapens transport from mine. When a truck drives onto or drives off the platform at the lower loading station in the Trucklift slope hoisting system with varying profile of track, the platform motion influences the operation of the Trucklift slope hoisting system, and the configuration of inclined rope hitched to the platform is varied. The simulation result by using the ADAMS (Automatic Dynamic Analysis of Mechanical Systems) software shows that the horizontal distance between lower loading station and platform varies when a truck drives onto or off the platform and the initial horizontal distance that is the distance between lower loading station and platform when the winder is applied the brake, can be an important factor in operation of the Trucklift slope hoisting system with varying profile track.
