#Mining Equipment

Check out our 6060 Hydraulic Mining Shovel at Tinaja Hills. 💛 Just to put its payload into perspective - at 67 tons (US), it can load the 785 shown in this clip in under three buckets. 😎 Contact your local Cat dealer to find out how to visit our Tinaja Hills facility for a demo of our mining equipment.

The largest hydraulic mining shovel ever built by @komatsugermanymining, the PC9000 — We have a full length documentary premiering this Sunday at 7am PST on our YouTube channel covering the PC9000’s journey from Düsseldorf to Fort McMurray where it was assembled by @smsequipment, history of Demag and Komatsu product line, and detailed account of how mining in the Canadian oilsands came to be!

During our visit to the @thiessmining Mount Pleasant Operation in NSW, Australia earlier this year we got to meet some of the company’s talented female operators such as Vonnie who was operating this 240 tonne Cat 994K. #thiess #thiessmining #mining #catmining #cat994 #cat994k

Just a couple mining trucks hauling dirt at Tinaja Hills Demonstration and Learning Center for your viewing pleasure. 🤠 This was from a customer product demo provided by the team a few weeks back. Contact your local Cat dealer to find out how to visit one of our Demonstration and Learning Centers.

The Behemoth of the Mine: Witnessing the Power of the Liebherr R 996! ⛏️🔥 ​Stop and marvel at the sheer scale and raw power of heavy machinery! This is the Liebherr R 996, one of the largest hydraulic mining excavators in the world, dominating the open-pit mine site. This machine isn't just digging dirt; it's moving mountains! ​Unmatched Scale and Efficiency ​The video beautifully captures the excavator's powerful operation as it loads overburden (waste rock/soil) or valuable ore into the massive haul truck (likely a Komatsu 830E-DC, judging by the decal): ​The Bite (0:00 - 0:13): Watch the enormous face shovel bucket bite into the steep bank of earth. The bucket alone can hold several dozen cubic meters of material, instantly ripping away tons of rock and soil in a single pass. ​The Swing and Load (0:36 - 0:45): The R 996 efficiently rotates its massive superstructure, swinging the fully loaded bucket high over the haul truck. The quick, controlled movement demonstrates the smooth, precise hydraulics required to manage such colossal weight. It takes only a few cycles of the bucket to completely fill the massive mining truck, a process known as "loading time efficiency." ​The Engineering Marvel: The sheer complexity of the machine, with its web of hydraulic hoses, enormous tracks, and towering superstructure (labeled with "996" and "LIEBHERR"), highlights the incredible engineering needed for high-volume production in the mining industry. This machine runs 24/7, serving as the core of the extraction process. ​This is a true testament to the power of human engineering in challenging industrial environments. ​How many standard dump trucks do you think one bucket of this machine could fill? Let us know your guess! 👇 ​#Liebherr #MiningExcavator #HeavyEquipment #R996 #OpenPitMining #HaulTruck #IndustrialPower #Earthmoving #EngineeringMarvel

🔈🆙 as this R996B does what it does best, we know that this digger sits in an iron ore mine that has been operated for over fifty years, we also know it can’t be around forever. @pilbaraminingpower #mining #northwest #pilbara #whaleback #mininghistory #equipment

🔥😱 CHECK THIS OUT!😱🔥 🤯➡️800ton ⬅️🤯 In Switzerland the largest mining excavator in the Komatsu range, this 800-tonne class machine typically has an operating weight of 768-777-tonnes depending on specification. Two engines produce a total power output of 3000kw (4,020hp) and the standard bucket capacity is a whopping 42m3 (55yd3). 😱😱😱😱 #fyp #heavyequipment #viral

Let’s talk about large mining shovel. Large mining shovels, also known as power shovels or electric mining shovels, are massive machines used predominantly in surface and strip mining to excavate and load large volumes of earth and fragmented rock. These shovels feature huge buckets (sometimes called dippers) with capacities ranging from around 8 cubic meters to nearly 80 cubic meters or more, enabling them to move enormous quantities of material efficiently(Mining Shovels Selection Guide: Types, Features, Applications | GlobalSpec, n.d.).

Something about the horns on mining equipment that just really does it for me.
