TOP 10 BIGGEST ROPE SHOVELS IN THE WORLD

as anyone who's been on this channel for more than 10 minutes knows there's a lot of ways to move dirt welcome back to another video from Lord gizma where today we'll be covering the amazing rope shovel and the ways in which it works make sure you stick around because there will be some impressive beasts along the way first up we have the EKG 18. it is a 700 Sun mining shovel manufactured by a Russian company oral Mash with its 18 cubic meter Dipper the shovel can fill a large dump truck in three to five passes it has dedicated electric drives for propulsion crowding hoisting and swinging this machine requires power from the grid to function due to its distinctive crawling undercarriage the EKG 18 can Traverse rugged terrains it is deployed in open pin mines for mineral extraction [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] next we have the EKG 20. this mining shovel is the sister of the EKG 18 but it is larger and more powerful it weighs around 780 tons and has a capacity of 25 cubic meters per bucket the articulated boom of this machine is made out of tubes and end castings the bucket linkages are one of a kind ensuring uniform load distribution to the lifting ropes the rotating unit consists of 7.6 meter diameter conical rollers that distribute the load evenly across the structure compared to the 10-year lifespan of a typical mining shovel the EKG can last more than 20 years thank you next we have the pnh-2650 Komatsu built this 805 ton hybrid shovel for large open pit mines it is called a hybrid shovel since the fitted electric motors act as generators when braking using a regenerated energy reduces pollutants decreases fuel use and improves performance The Machine's design also includes features such as a closed loop swing circuit a hydraulic system with electronically controlled pumps and an advanced monitoring system that provides real-time feedback to the operator with its 36 cubic meter zipper the p h 250 can dig and dump 70 tons per pass making it one of the largest mining machines available [Music] thank you next we have the pnh 2800 from Komatsu this rope shovel weighs up to 1 000 tons and measures 14 meters long and 12 meters high it can be equipped with a 55 to 77 cubic yard bucket the nominal payload capacity of this machine is 59 tons as it's digging and dumping capacity so large the shovel works well with 200 ton trucks the advanced control system helps the operator utilize the Dipper effectively while preventing energy waste b h 2800 is in use in over 20 countries [Music] [Music] thank you next is the EKG 35 with its 35 cubic meter bucket this 1250 ton electric mining shovel can fill a 320 ton dump truck in just a few passes it is designed for sites with harsh climatic conditions where the temperature remains below zero the shovel is packed with Cutting Edge safety features the emergency stop buttons are all around the machine to stop it quickly the automatic lubrication system delivers a precise amount of lubricant to the critical components to prevent breakdowns and reduce the risk of accidents the intuitive HMI helps the operator control the machine with precision and provides the operator with real-time feedback [Music] [Music] thank you next we have the Bucyrus 495 HR this mining shovel was first introduced in 1970 by bukyrus International a U.S company currently part of caterpillar Inc while the shovel is no longer manufactured several decommissioned pukyrus 495s have been kept for tourist attraction with its 100 cubic meter bucket the machine can fill a 200 ton dump truck in less than two minutes it had a diesel electric drive system to provide high torque and low speed operation free fishing digging and loading this machine also had an automatic crowd rope take-up mechanism offering reduced maintenance and less downtime while improving maintenance safety [Music] [Music] thank you [Music] uh next we have the wk55 Rope shovel this large size rope shovel comes standard with a 55 cubic meter bucket and its nominal payload capacity is 110 tons it features AC variable frequency technology that is efficient our saving and reliable the high position Propel Drive method enhances tumbler and trackpad transmission efficiency wear and lifespan all transmission gears are manufactured from high quality low carbon alloy steel ensuring greater bearing capacity and long service light racks cast from High manganese steel and pinions forged from alloy steel compose the gear rack structure the operator cab is precisely designed for safety and comfort and optimal material and heat treatment maximize gear and shaft stress concentration and fatigue blood [Music] thank you foreign [Music] [Music] next we have the b h 4100 xbc robe shovel this Ultra large mining shovel can produce 10 444 tons per hour with its 61.2 cubic meter bucket its nominal payload capacity is 109 tons the machine has a unique twin leg handle design an advanced Dipper technology providing High productivity and low-cost loading the mining Duty Motors and planetary Transmissions are designed for longevity and reliability The Cutting Edge control system is engineered to increase production by up to nine percent and eliminate boom jacking by up to 50 percent the track Shield helps protect the tracks and undercarriage from Dipper strikes and monitors Dipper movement and position to prevent imminent collisions up next we have the cat 7495 it is a 1390 ton rope shovel that can be equipped with a 30.6 to 62.7 cubic meter bucket it's nominal payload capacity is 109 tons the shovel as a single centralized control rack that eliminates communication issues between racks and simplifies maintenance the unique front-end design provides faster swing times resulting from reduced swing inertia of the lighter front end and improved left-hand line of sight with deck mounted crowd machinery the machine has the Hydra crowd system which eliminates routine grouting and retracts rope changes as well as extending major maintenance intervals to two years all main components of this machine are made from cold weather impact resistant high strength steel thus it can easily withstand the harsh mining conditions of mining Suns [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] next we have the pnh 4800 xbc it is an electric rope shovel designed for challenging environments owing to its 123 ton nominal payload capacity and 70 cubic meter bucket this shovel can fill a 240 ton dump truck into basket its Delta style undercarriage with a proven shoe and tumbler reduces maintenance requirements the Dual low inertia AC Motors reduce shock loading and boom jacking and the direct drive eliminates belt maintenance for enhanced responsiveness the 172 centimeter diameter hoist drum increases the bending durability motor has a separate spring set air release disc brake for accurate operation and rope protection against excessive oscillation [Music] [Music] last but certainly not least we have the Big Brutus you guys have been asking for this one for a long time it is the largest mining shovel in the world boasting a super extensive boom that stands as high as 16 stories it has a bucket that can take 150 tons in a single pass in 1962 yukaira series a U.S company currently parked caterpillar built this mining shovel from scratch the machine was retired in 1974 after 11 years of service however it still holds the title of the largest rope shovel and has been a tourist attraction since 1984 in West Mineral Kansas United States [Music] we hope you enjoyed this video about some truly spectacular robe shovels if you want to see some more cool mining equipment click here and with that we'll see you next time [Music]
