How much easier is this compared to using a lowbed where you need to chain the machine down and risk going over the side when loading and unloading? We visited Hope Quarry recently to see how Gemma Barber moves her new Cat 395 around using a set of Sleipner E90 dollies #sleipner #finningukireland #cat395 #quarry #excavator #lowbed

Komatsu D475A dozer on the move after being on display for MINExpo 2024

Komatsu unveiled the Power Agnostic 930E haul truck at MINExpo 2024, built on a modular platform enabling a smooth transition from diesel to battery or hydrogen. Following the show, the truck heads to Boliden’s Aitik mine for its first real-world field tests. Under the Komatsu GHG Alliance, both companies will gather insights to refine the truck’s decarbonization capabilities #komatsu #mining #minexpo #minexpo2024 #dumptruck #komatsuminiexcavator

Bagger 1473, christened as The Blue Wonder, is a Type SRs 1500-series bucket-wheel excavator prototype that was left abandoned in a field in Schipkau, Germany. The excavator had been used at the Tagebau Meuro mine from 1965 to 2002. After it was withdrawn from service, the municipalities of Senftenberg, Großräschen, and Schipkau collaborated to preserve the opencast mining machine. Between August 29 and September 15, 2003, Bagger 1473 was moved approximately 8.5 kilometres (5.3 miles) from the Meuro mine to near the EuroSpeedway Lausitz. Its new location would serve as a monument to the region’s former lignite mining industry. The machine was transported across industrial roads and railways owned by the LMBV, ensuring that public traffic remained unaffected. #bagger1473 #engineering #heavyequipment #mining #coalmining #lignitemine #mine #minerals
