The men were about 35-feet down receiving cement from above when the chutes used to move the cement gave way and fell on them.
A technical rescue team put the two men in specially designed baskets and then raised them up and out of the shaft.
They were taken to Massachusetts General Hospital with injuries that are described as "not life-threatening."
Their names have not been released.
No other details are available at this point in the investigation.
