That travel alarm is hilarious, you can barely hear it over the creaking of the tracks
I welded on these p&h shovels for years right in Milwaukee Wisconsin and damn proud of it. Built to last
You should be🤘I am a fan of yours🏆
@@janneplanman6433 hell yeah put me on that list to👍
The popping and screeching of those tracks sure brought back memories of the Marion and Bucyrus shovels I worked around in the 70's and 80's!
I thought they were going to have to pause and reroute the power cable to a source on the other side of the road, then I saw the gen-set in the container following behind. Great video of something most people will never get to see.
Yep. Big shovels like this are normally moved with a mobile generator. Thanks!
Unfortunately. I live in Switzerland. There are no big excavators here.
The super strippers had like 5 miles of cable
@@PAminingforgive me for lack of knowledge but what is the generator for.
@martymartin2894 the big machines like the one in the video are powered by an external electricity source instead of having their own powerplant.
Great get, though I shall wait for the documentary version. Your explanations of equipment, their specs and their production history are second to none.
Haha, well thank you! I appreciate that!
Glad to see a huge shovel still running and still digging
That's one heck of a generator on that semi to run that
The mine I work at uses 2100's,2800's and a couple of 4100 shovels. The two 2100 we have have been at the mine longer than anyone can remember
Cool! P&H is the way to go. Great machines!
@@PAmining yes komatsu owns them now
Hello my name is Nick Churon from Churon Co www.churonco.com we rebuild all types of gear pinions like crowd pinions and shipper shafts for the P&H 2100 2300 2800 and 4100
That was MINT! Loved how across the road, the digger stopped to execute a small right turn and you can hear the SeaCan power unit turbo spool up to meet the energy demand for the turn.
Gotta love the sound when the tubros kick in and the black smoke flyies up the pipes! Thanks
I would love to see a straight Diesel powered machine, not a Diesel electric like this one. I don't know if they build any Diesel only powered ones in this size. I'm guess you would probably need a 3,000-4,000 horsepower engine. They do make Diesels that big also.
@@scottmcquarrie7295 I think the big reason that these giant shovels and draglines are electric is that a diesel powered version would require a huge diesel fuel tank in addition to the engines and their attending systems. That would make the house even bigger than it is already and then you have the problem of servicing those engines in that space.
@@BlackPill-pu4vi all feasible reasons for electric power, but I bet you can engineer a huge Diesel powered shovel and overcome all those issues if need be. Ocean liners run big Diesel engines so I'm sure it could be done.
I've seen videos of a diesel powered 2800. Also there are similar sized hydraulic shovels that are diesel powered.
THAT is a SHOVEL! I was wondering if had it's own power plant but then I saw the pigtail. NICE rig and I'd have to have oxygen to run that thing. GOOD job, Pal!
That is so heavy duty , I just love it
Shovel is running on old conveyor belt where it crosses the road. The road is built up extra heavy in that section too. The truck following is a gen set to power the shovel while it's moving. What did they put down over the tracks?
There are two tunnels in the background, one for a county road and one for a railroad. The haul trucks run over them.
Big...! Thanks for posting...! Gordon in Maryland
Great shot with bridge in the back ground👌 put the real size of the monster in proportion 👍👍
Another awesome video. Your starting to get some really good action nobody else is. Like this and loading underground.
Well thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
No narration but it speaks for itself. Frickin' thing is huge! I love a well planned move!
Great excavator and great video! Thanks for uploading
Another very nice Video .... Thanks vor the Videos my friend !
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Ah! Finally my scoop has a arrived for my whey protein powder.
PAmining the best !!!
wonderful video
When I first started watching this I thought I could hear two stroke motocross bikes . Turned out it’s the tracks on this beast 😂
What is the advantage of electric over diesel in one of these? Is the genset just for transportation? Will it be hooked up to "the grid" after in new location?
Oh my! At 3:30 I hope he’s not going to try to go through that tunnel
Wow, turns on a dime and corners like it's on rails!
50! what an ancient one, our 152 room still works, it often breaks down already.
Never heard any big shovel move without the undercarriage and tracks sounding completely like they are the most unhappy bits of steel on the planet, sounds friggin terrible like everything is so stressed and about to pop....but its just how they are!
Truer words have never been spoken!
How satisfying it would have been to park a Toyota Prius in front of one of thoes tracks......just saying 😁
This looks very familiar. Is there a road and track tunnel very close? If so I've been past that many times. Ed., saw the road tunnel. Good catch!
Guess that was cheaper than to strip, truck and re-build. Great stuff.
It's only going a couple miles.
amazing machine
What's the output of the Cat genset chasing the shovel?
Probably 1000 KVA
start digging love it
How big is the Generator? And is that generator enough juice to power the machine while it's working?
The generator is powered by a Cat 3516 and primarily for moving the machine.
I see the Idlers are at maximum extension. Time to remove a link from each side.
Just couldn't enjoy it eh
No all fuck all on here again
Tracks are really loose thats for sure
@@colinbourke2893 "enjoy" is highly subjective in its meaning.
Nice one 👍👍👍
Fantastic video. The bigger the better. What are the chances of you being able to do a walk around on it?
Thank you! Pretty hard considering these big electric shovels normally work around the clock. Thanks!
Very interesting! Is it supposed to sound like that as it moves along?
Yes. Tracks on these big shovels usually screach a lot. That's a lot of weight to move!
Unlike a lot of smaller machines which have oil sealed pins in the tracks, these are all dry pins, so it's metal on metal all the time. They sound a lot worse than it really is.

Is he helping his little friend across the road?
Oh and one more thing there is a vintage caterpillar d7g at brookside equipment sales in Phillipston Massachusetts can you do a documentary about the d7g for your next video pretty please ?
Every electric car should have a truck following on behind generating the needed power.
yea.. my desk job sucks..
edit: okay this is a really ignorant question but what are the interiors of these like? do they have stuff like latrines or a storage room, stuff like that or is it all business?
There is no business more important than the latrine.
The newest machines have optional toilets on board, however on older shovels like this, there is no option for a toilet. That's why we have garbage cans! Our shovels all have fridges, microwaves, toasters and toaster ovens, water coolers and coffee pots in the cab.
Need to do a review up close of one that size
Could you do a video of the 777c off-road mining truck documentary?
I have not shot a C yet but I have a 777A coming up in the future
Linda, lindaaaaaa... monstruosa...meu sonho é trabalhar com uma dessas...meu Deus.!!!😭😭😭😱😱😱😱😱👏👏👏👏👏👏
¿Cuántos Kwatt horas cosume esta máquina?
That's obviously a huge machine and this move is equally obviously taking quite a long time. I'm curious if that is about max speed for a beast this size, or the operator taking it slow and easy, or maybe the genset just can't make enough watts to go any faster?
That's about it, other than the stops to turn a little.
The machine is louder then the siren!
I was always curious as to why these shovels use ropes with plastic on them, anyone out there know?
I'm gonna guess to seal in the lube and seal out abrasive grit
What size bucket is on the P&H ? Great video...
Thanks. That's a 42yd bucket
P.A mining,how do they measure a bucket capacity size ??
Andrewtoyota Rees goes by yards
So what brings you to Hibbing!? Ha i watch alot of your videos, also have done alot of work at Hibbing tac. Its nice to see these older rigs still makeing nothing but money!
Looks like during the summer. No leaves now.
Looks like the track could stand to be a bit tighter.
all the while hes on clean raods the tracks wil look a little loose,when he gets back in the mine the track chains will get loose shale,stones,rocks and mud and dirt in them and they will tighten up,too tight in the clean and they will become too tight in the rough,
To a certain degree that's correct. However, the idlers are out all the way, with no more adjustment. A track pad needs to be removed, so in this case, they are probably waiting until after the move, so as not to have to adjust again sooner than normal due to the excessive wear from the long walk.
didnt notice that,well observed
Monster generator too...
Aw dont forget to tell about
the engine and where it can also be found
Thank you and you know what the rh200 does suit my fancy I'm glad you will be doing it in the future
Cool
Since these shovels don't move too often...would the track pads last the lifetime of the machine...great video
Not necessarily it depends on the pit floor it's digging on and how rough the operator is on the machine. The pads can break just like anything else on the shovel
tooez90 all of the shovels I’ve ever seen move quite a bit from pit to pit, forwards and backwards, left to right, right to left, and they make a big mess for the trucks to have to turn around and back up through. Even a electric shovel like this one moves around quite a bit during each shift even if it’s not as much as a diesel shovel.
We typically have to replace the complete undercarriage about every 4 years on ours. Mine got a new undercarriage a month ago.
the generator looks like a 4160 or a 12kv 2 or 3 meg using a cat 35xx series, probably a 3520
Close, it's a 3516
Lol that things huge.
And its not the largest electric shovel either
cool how big bucket?
Lee Turner 10 foot by 12
42 cubic yards
First, Nice one Justin.
Very cool but the sound of the tracks makes my teeth hurt lol. Does that genset use 1 or 2 engines?
All tracks on these big shovels sreach like this. Lot of weight on those pins! That gen set uses a single Cat 3516
@@PAmining thanks for the reply, any idea what that monster weighs?
