Abstract: In a hydraulic shield support system, a plurality of pressure intensifiers are respectively provided for a plurality of hydraulic props. Each pressure intensifier is operated to increase a system pressure to an increased pressure for supplying fluid at the increased pressure to a pressure chamber of the associated hydraulic prop. The plurality of pressure sensors measure the pressures of the fluid supplied to the respective hydraulic props. A control unit sets a plurality of desired pressures for the plurality of hydraulic props, and stops operation of the respective pressure intensifiers when the set desired pressure has been reached.
