Cab view from inside a 1997 P&H 2800 XPB loading blasted rock. Like mining? Then join PAmining. PA is on Facebook: / 100046519906306 Follow the PA on Instagram: / pa_mining
Back in the early ‘80’s, I was hired right out of college as a mining engineer. Shortly after being hired, they made a pit foreman out of me. I loved it, best job I ever had. When things were going smooth, I’d spend hours in the shovels, watching the operators. They could eat lunch, drink coffee, smoke, and talk to me all at the same time without skipping a beat, loading the trucks. On the afternoon shifts and midnights when all the big shots were gone, they would attempt to teach me. It during those times that I appreciated their skills as an operator even more.
I've had probably 100 forman come and go over my time running a 2800. I've had 2 forman come up and just talk watch and have a conversation while I load. To me that made me respect them more for knowing what we did as operators. That was probably 8 years ago. I once had a oil rep come sit with more a hour and he couldn't believe I could have a solid conversation with him as I loaded truck after truck. I asked him if he could talk on the phone and drive his car down the highway. His eyes opened wide. Thats how that is to me running a shovel
The one time I tried it on the Engineer's Training Program at my mine it gave ne tremendous respec for the people who do this for a living. I was like a deer on glare ice. Made me glad to be a plant rat.

Glad to see a fellow Brother ( I belong to the 955 local ) skillfully plying his trade, and proudly flying his local 49 colours. I really enjoy that we get to see not only the machine loading the trucks from the outside ( your last video ), but the operators perspective and high level of professional skill involved in making things look so smooth and carefully orchestrated. Having operated many machines over the last 4 decades, I have found the respect operators deserve is getting less and less, especially with bigger corps or companies. Then they wonder why they have trouble filling seats. That all said, I wonder what the screen view is that he is monitoring. That could be another topic you could look into. Thank you for yet another fascinating look into the world of machines and their operations.
That's pretty good camera work right there. Windows are alot cleaner than some of those old hulks you show off. Very cool. Thanks for all of your vids.
Like #85. Minty vidya as usual. Rite quiet in the cab, can hear all the equipment anatomy move. 2nd Haulie driver stops the same way I do on the horn...."HONK ! " (brake/bounce)....haha. Cept' my little truck, the hoist cylinder hits the top of the back of the cab.
Nice to see an inside vehicle operation video. Must be a huge pain to get permission to film inside a working machine, let alone old machines that are not in use much anymore or ever. The content over the years has been great!
I used to run these machines. One had 40 hours on it when I first got on it. These things are in operation all over the world. When these first came to our mine P&H instructors trained us. These guys had been to the 4 corners of the Earth training which means 3 people in the cab. Instructor-trainee-interpreter.
@@PAmining I sincerely appreciate that. I might need you for a reference with the future if Hibbtac looking bleak. If nothing else meet up for drink brother.
Hey Justin i was hoping we could get some more videos of the ex1900 just before it gets whacked due to emissions and replaced by the ex2000-7 in October.
What’s being loaded? Is that Taconite here in Minnesota or Upper Michigan, or something else out east? There’s at least 1 video on this channel that was taken at Hibbing Taconite. Excellent video! Maybe the locations can’t be made known due to privacy issues.
Is that you operating the machine and if so, is that your everyday job/position? I noticed the zoom in/out so figure of it is you, you had someone videoing for you? Love these videos BTW
Im training to become an excavator operator. Any advice on the steps to take to get into one of these mining shovels? Im in canada, so there is mines and oil sands
Pay attention to what the senior operators tell you, don't act like you know everything. If you're good on the smaller stuff, you'll easily work your way up to the big iron with some time :)

We work 12 hour shifts would u rather work 5 days a week or 3 days on week and 4 the next. We have done both ways in the mines up north and the 12 hour shifts are the only way to go.

Good union snuff sucker operator. Smooth and didn't kill the truck drivers. Thanks, Pal! GBWYall!
Nice cab view!
Seriously skilled operator, very smooth. Takes a ton of practice to not stress the machine while getting the most from it.
Thank you for letting us in the cab
Great video once again! Something many would never get to see 👍👍
The fact that a Cat 997 looks like a bloody toy from the operators cab of this shovel gives you an idea of just how big this thing really is.
That machine makes rocks explode 💥💥💥 love the video 👍👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Great video Sir! Love your channel!

This is me operating the shovel. The screen to my left is telling me what my grade is and what lease I'm digging in.
@@carlsenarighi96232800 is the best. Better then 2300 and 4100. What is the shovel #?
@Denis yes this is shovel 53 which is a p&h 2800
You have the best job in the world. I would love to it. Thanks agin
Thanks a lot for NO MUSIC, only pure machine sound, this is better than any music shit
I personally never liked machine videos with music. Thanks!
@@PAmining Same, only pure machine sound, music is not needed

Very nice as always. Someone needs to get you a 4K camera though!
Great video
Outstanding video. Thank you for allowing us a view so few get to see and experience. That was great as always.
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks

Your welcome and l appreciate it! I always try to get the best video angles. Thanks for your support over the years! -PA
Ok
I run an Ederer 60 ton crane at a steel mill, always fascinating seeing other operators in the cab of huge machines...
thank you! please more of this.....greetings from Austria
Much appreciated and glad you enjoyed it! Greetings from Pennsylvania!

Good blast. Nice to see mostly little chunks instead of big ass boulders

Wow, those large excavators really DO bounce you around during the loading process.
Excellent video 👍👍👍
It has soft sit down systems. For unwanted boom jacking. I ran one before. Lot of power!!!!
Incrível adorei muito. Espero um dia poder comprar uma dessas. 😍

Strange things happen on night shift.....

Not sure how I'm just coming across this video now but that is me operating the shovel.

absolutely fascinating how many tonnes of earth being shifted in each bucket
4 buckets fill a 200 ton dumper
@@frutt5k wonder how many trucks an hour.
@@jreg2007 3 minutes per truck
Between 40 and 60 tonnes per bucket depending in the material
i wonder what the fuel consumption is hauling 200tonnes up a hill. one turn of the wheels = 5 gallons 😂😂
Hey Justin i was hoping we could get some more videos of the ex1900 just before it gets whacked due to emissions and replaced by the ex2000-7 in October.
I would love too but that machine is currently up for sale and idled. Thanks!

That Centura drive is bad ass I wonder if it has opted dig systems
That guy is good. Smooth
How do you like the 4100 and have you ever run one of thos
They aren't any quieter, than they were 35 years ago.
Blahaha!!

Every time this think takes a bite somewhere a towns lights go dim
man this thing dwarfs my little 1/2 yard shovels
41 yard bucket on this particular p&h2800

That guy is bad ass wow he can relly run it
Sorry about the spelling I tryed

Yea Justin has to keep them private...I’d love to come to Minnesota
@@arborist460 Understood. An operation doesn’t want to risk an MSHA violation from a UA-cam video.
Shhhhh! I know where this is but I'm not saying. Strange things happen on night shift.
Petty cool

No that is not me operating lol. I am doing the filming. But thanks!
I'll take credit for running the machine

I know that rock from any of em….love to visit myself sometime
Is this an electric shovel?
Yes it is
My dream job.
интересно какое образование в США для работы на таком крупном экскаваторе?
No education, just interest , skill and training!

3 passes, and there's your 280 tons.
That's got be hella money he makes
What trucks is it loading?
Ford Ranger
Maybe a 777? We had a 6015 and those are the trucks we paired with that ho. Pretty sure this shovel is bigger than the one we had lol
@@steviemotherfuckinv6374 yeah way bigger than a 6015. I think its loading 789s but could also be komatsu 830 depending on the bed
830s if not 930s
@@arborist460 gotcha. Thanks👍🏻👍🏻
9 hrs. a day. I would loose my mind.
Your mind too tight?

Late comment here but this is awesome video, I'm guessing it's 300 tons payload
240 ton on these trucks!
